Week #48 - Mark is getting Baptized! So grateful!



GOOD NEWS! 

Mark that dropped us is wanting to meet with us again! We asked him why and he said he misses that good feeling whenever we were around, and the love that we showed him. He feels that there is something special to this message. He has a baptismal date for April 27th!! and we have been praying with him at night and sending scripture texts in the morning. The other day he was on the bus and we called him and asked if he would like to pray and he did! Nothing makes me happier:))

We are running low on K's and so we have been walking to each appointment and it has been the funnest ever! Some how every time we would walk out the door it would snow, but on the way the Sun would come out...hahh we were surprised, but the snow is beautiful! 

We also were held hostage at an older members home THEY WOULD NOT LET US LEAVE HAHH we finally got out at 8:15pm and as we walked home we played piano music from Yiruma and watched the stars.  It was well worth It! (We had a reflector band on and flash light so we were safe!!)

Sunday, during sunday school they played the clip of Elder Bednar and Elder Rasband touring the Rome Italy temple. That was the first time I got to watch it and all I felt as we watched it was a pure blissful peace. 

Something I learned this week
1.   We need each other to become more like the Savior, so we can apply Patience, Hope, and Love. 
2. All God wants is my sacrifice. D&C 4:5
"And Faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work." 
-Adam Penny 

Scripture of the Day
 Moroni 7: 45-47(replace charity with your name)

LOVE YOU,

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
