Week #33 - We Hope to Light the World!


Hahh, Such a funny experience!! 
Sipho - from Africa
SISTER Clark and I had a dinner appointment at a returning members home.  Apparently the address was wrong. Anyway, we knocked on the door and a young girl opened it up and I didn't remember them having a daughter, but she let us in.  We took our shoes off and the Mom was sitting at the dinner table making a ginger bread house and  just stared at us. hahha… 

Karen & Shirley

 It was so funny because we haven't really met this member before but we knew of her so when we saw this women we thought it was her. It would've turned in to a great teaching experience but they were not interested (: The returning members lived next door. 

Transfers were last night and Sister Clark and I will be staying in Kingston! 
Our plan is to work hard and use this time to share the Christmas Message with everyone.  We also want to work together with the members and really get the Light the World going. We are going to members home and collecting food and then inviting them to come caroling in downtown Toronto. We also are getting as many members as we can to write their testimony in the Book of Mormon and then we are going to wrap them up and hand them out.:) If you have any ideas on how we can strengthen our ward and help them want to share Christ's Message be more unified I would love it!!

Quote: (Elder Herculano shared this in District council) "Start by doing what's NECESSARY.  Then do what's POSSIBLE.  And suddenly you will be doing the IMPOSSIBLE."

Invitation: Read- "Joy of Living a Christ Centered Life"

Then Write down 3 times you have seen Christ's hand in your life.

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...
