Happy Thanksgiving! Yes it's Thanksgiving here in
Canada. I feel like Christmas should be just around the corner but we
still have Halloween to get through! Thanksgiving here also spans 3 days
so thanks to our AMAZING ward members Sister Crane and I had quite an
extensive Thanksgiving. I'm so grateful! I love these people so much! I
may be away from home but the people here have opened their hearts and
homes and I feel just like I belong! Canada will forever be my home away
from home!
I'm quoting Sister Crane in my
subject line! Prime advice from my amazing trainer ;). All I'm going to
say about that is sometimes you get into weird situations as a
missionary haha!
I hope everyone had a great week! Enjoy the snow in Colorado!
It's
been such a great week! So many amazing things are happening here in
Brookswood. The other day in a random parking lot I met four more deaf
people! It made me so happy! I am so grateful God gives me the chance to
use ASL! I also know that it is because of Him that I can even
understand these people and they can understand me. This week I'll also
be meeting the lady that the elders found so I'm super excited for that!
I
seriously love the people I have met here so much! One thing that is
amazing to me is the effort people go to to serve others. We truly are
happier when in the service of those around us.
I've
gotten to try so many different kinds of food here. This past week I
had Japanese, Mexican, Vietnamese, and African. I'm sure there's more
I'm just forgetting! There are so many different cultures here! I love
it so much!
One thing I've been realizing is
that being changed by the atonement is a lifelong process. I know that I
am who I am because of the atonement and that I have the ability to
become something because of the atonement. It is only through Christ
that we are able to become anything at all. Truly, anything is possible
through Christ. Don't give up because Christ will never give up on you!
I
love being a missionary so much! And what's incredible is that we can
focus all our efforts on serving God even if we're not a missionary. I
am honestly so happy even in the difficult moments because it is only
through this gospel that we can find the pure and everlasting happiness.
Have a great week!
