Week #37 - It Starts with Your Head & Moves to Your Heart

I loved being able to speak with you on Christmas Day!  I was so surprised to see CJ.  He looks good, but oh how I wish I could give him a little of Canada's cold and food!!  I can't believe we are both out serving missions now.  I miss him so much and you guys too.  When we were all together is when that really hit.  
I Love YOU!!


DID YOU KNOW: 
Some people that come to earth have older spirits then outs? Jesus Christ has the oldest spirit which makes him our older brother. Next time you see primary aged children remember that some of them are older in spirit. We are all here to help each other:) -Sister Meyer from Kingston branch 

"You are right now the sum total of what you have thought, said, seen, heard and done. What you think, say, do, hear and see, cause you to change; to change for good or evil; to become either stronger or weaker.. you are responsible for who you are and you are responsible for who you will become."
 - The Fourth Missionary by Lawerence E. Corbridge 


We get to choose:) 
We have the choice of choosing our Journey! We can either let hate and anger or sadness and misery tear us down
 our we can choose to let them live their journey and you live yours! 
"You were made to have Joy!" 
-Elder Deiter F. Uchtdorf  

 Why waste your time seeing the negative if that will just tear you down? If your mind is positive your actions will be positive. 

It starts in your head then your heart follows. When you have one mind and one heart you can bring to pass and establish Zion, a Safe Haven. (D&C6:6, 1Nephi 13:37, Moses 7:18)

Talk of the Day: 
"Don’t Look Around, Look Up!"
  - By Elder Yoon Hwan Choi

I'm grateful to know that families can be together forever! We are blessed in families to recieve a little of that Joy and love we once had in Heaven. Heavenly Father loves you and Jesus is the Christ! He Lives! 

Thank you for your prayers! Love you all!
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 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

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
