Week #10 - What is Your Purpose!

Aw trek sounded so fun!!! I wish I could've gone!! What was you're favorite part?? I love how creative it was!! It sounds so fun and challenging! 

Today is Transfers and i'm staying in Churchville YSA and getting a new sister training leader!! We have a few new investigators and its so fun to teach them and see them light up and get it. We've had a few people say it made sense, or that they feel like they've heard this before. That's probably my FAVORITE thing. Everyone has some sort of knowledge of heaven, some truth that they've held on to and It's so cool to hear from so many different people truths they know and that gives them a taste of Joy. We have been teaching this guy named Sam and he loves nature, art, and music. He use to be atheist but he said its harder to prove to people that there isn't a God then it is to prove that there is. He believes there has to be some higher power but he also holds on to the rule of science. He has such amazing Christ like attributes of giving and meekness. You can see the light in him want to shine but its thirsting for more truth. He brought up circles and in his art he likes to use circles. When he brought it up it I immediately thought of Eternity. That it never ends and the beauty of it. It was so cool to see how interested he got. Hes held on to a truth but hasn't known the meaning behind it. This is my all time favorite part about missionary work is when people find their purpose. They find the gifts God has blessed them with and work to fulfill their mission on the earth. 

lots of lovee Sister Rees

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 anyon...

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 ...

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...
