Week #5 - Yesterday was Victoria's Day. So Today is our P-day!


 I can't believe Cj's already graduating!  Times gone by so fast! and now you're an Elder that holds the keys to the Melchizedek Priesthood. That is so special and is such an amazing privilege. God has now given you the gift of blessing and healing others and it is even more powerful to know that He considers you worthy to hold that power and take good care of it. The power of the Priesthood is so strong and I've been able to see the strength of it here on my Mission. The things that have happened have been unreal and there's noway I could describe it not being of God and from Him. 

Yesterday we were at the YSA BBQ and I talked to a man named Shaheen thats a convert to the church 8 years ago he said that he had a girlfriend that was meeting with missionaries and so he joined and he said when they were talking about the plan of salvation he got it. He said that he heard it before, some how he knew about this. He then told me about dreams He had and how powerful they were I felt the spirit so strong. He now is a ward missionary and has such a strong testimony of the Gospel. He shared with me things I've been needing to hear without even knowing. The spirit spoke right through him and was so powerful and hit me so hard. Something he shared was how to be an example. " To be an example you have to have no expectations, not expecting people to believe you, but sharing with them that You know it to be true." I loved that so much. Knowing what I know to be true is the most powerful thing you need on this earth and that is the most important thing to planting that seed in others and building them up. He also said to look for the why. Why am I where i'm at right now? Why am I a member of the Church? and why do I Love My Savior. Knowing the Why is so important and has built my testimony. 

Everyone has different experiences that help different people and gifts that are stronger then others that help bless people in ways that others can't. We're all wounded helping wounded. Not one is greater then the other. It doesn't matter how many times you fall, as long as you keep walking towards the Savior. He loves you and has given us the atonement to become new "because of Him peace can replace gilt, Healthy relationships can be restored, and Addictions can be over come." Elder M. Russell Ballard All He asks of  us is to put on the armor of God(daily Scripture study, prayer, worthily partaking of the sacrament, heartfelt service) and we will be able to face the battles against satan.

Love You all!

Week #77 - Red Doors and Pink Flowers

A little more about Efe's baptism 2 weeks ago - Efe Omamohwo was Baptized and Confirmed September 28th and 29th. Owen gave a talk on Baptism and Claire gave one on the Holy Ghost and then Claire and Serena sang 'I'm trying to be like Jesus' together. The last sang that we all sang was families can be together forever.  Efe bore his testimony the Sunday he was confirmed about how he received a blessing to quit drinking coffee and he said after the blessing he had no desire to drink coffee.  Something that was amazing to see was that Efe and Juliet put their wedding rings back on.  They both are working together better than they ever have and look so much happier than they did when I first met them.  Efe will be receiving the Priesthood soon. They are working toward getting sealed in the TEMPLE!! We were walking down the road reactivating and contacting and we saw this women and her husband walking their dog. We asked them if they knew anyone w

Week #25 - Christ's Atonement is the Reason to be Happy!

Yesterday was actually Thanksgiving in Canada!! (another Monday holiday!) I had 3 Thanksgiving dinners.. hahah.   One on Sunday and two on Monday.   I felt like I looked pregnant, but it was so good:)  I feel like I don't know anything:) It’s a good thing that God does. I feel like a child relearning everything.   Obedience brings Faith, Faith is the only way to understand the Atonement.   I am trying to understand it better.   I’ve been talking with my mission President to better understand the Atonement.   He gave me scriptures and talked about it at zone conference.   Sister Nicole Lowder - Love..Love..Love! He shared with the missionaries the following:   "It is difficult to add anything to conference, but I remembered a quote from Pres. Nelson's October 2000 (before some of you were born) conference talk entitled "The Creation." While visiting a British Museum in London, Pres. Nelson read an English translation of an ancient Egyptia

Week #81 - Love You Burlington!!

October 27th - Serena did her very last primary program and will be going to Young Women's this January! We knocked on a door and Kirna a mother visiting from India answered the door. We said we were sharing a message about Jesus Christ. She said "Jesus Christ?" "Come in" as we talked to her she said that she was praying for her husband in India that he would have water and she said God blessed him with it. She was so grateful we came and fed us food she was making for her family. October 30th - Tonight we went late night tracting and had many pass along cards and were going to hand them all out before 9pm. We handed every single one out but still had 5 min. I reached into my bag not looking and pulled put a card! We went to the closest home with lights on. We knocked and then a man in the basement opened the door and jumped back he didn't realize we were there. We shared the Book of Mormon and testified of Hope. He said he
