Week #50 Dankbarkeit (GRATITUDE)


Hello Mom, Dad and Kaden! I love you and miss You! 

It's been hard with Mark and Stephen these last few days. After having them both commit to living the word of wisdom they've been tested and are feeling that Godly sorrow. We have been staying in contact with Mark daily, but Stephen doesn't ever use his phone so we have been dropping by. 

We were walking back from an appointment  and met Sephora! She was the only one that was on the path where we crossed over and we talked to her and she was so excited! We gave her a Book of Mormon and got her number. Yesterday we texted her to see if we could make an appointment to meet with her and she said she was so happy we reached out to her, she said she has been reading the Book of Mormon and wants to learn more:,) yay❤ 

D&C 4:5 - If we will live as the Savior, He will qualify you for the work. 

We had a scary experience this week of 2 men following us in their car. It lasted for over 45 min. I had the sickest feeling that I haven't felt since my first transfer. Mom when you said you felt to pray for safety, I'm pretty sure this was the reason. These men almost had it all planned out. When we arrived safely at our apartment - we called President.  He said it would be a good thing to report these men to the police if we see them again and it would be a good idea to get pepper spray, or a horn.  We will NOT go back to that area.  I remembered back to my setting apart blessings from Pres. Saunders.  He blessed me 5 different times with protection.  I am so thankful for the Lords watchful care.

3 Nephi 4:30 The Savior will protect those that are trying to follow and come unto him.  

From walking so much we have blisters all over our feet, hahh.  I had a huge one on my ankle and 3 under my feet .  We had to take care of them with sewing needles, hahh. I closed my eyes when I did it. 

I watched the restoration movie before bed 2 nights ago and the tears flew. 
Joseph Smith is a prophet if God. 
He gave his life, left his children fatherless and his wife a widow for the restoration of this gospel. 
Joseph Smith is the definition of Faith, Hope, Charity, and Love. 
I love my Savior Jesus Christ with all of my heart. 
He Lives!

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
