Week #55 - You had all eternity to prepare, you have all eternity to reflect, but you only have 18 months to serve.


MIRACLE
We came out of the Apartment and we saw 3 people coming towards us. We went over and introduced ourselves and started to talk with them about Family History.  A lady named Saberina made her way over and said she wanted to talk to us. She said that she met missionaries a long time ago and invited us over this week?! She also said she'd bake us cookies hah
Sister Farnsworth and I walked away, and I kept saying WHAT JUST HAPPENED.



We bought detergent put it in our trunk. We drove to the laundrymat and I opened it up.  It fell and the lid broke! There was still a good amount in there then we put our laundry in the washers and hah Sister Farnsworth starts pouring the detergent in the lid and forgot I broke it. It was pouring out freely, she didn't even realize there was no hole but noticed it wasn't filling hahh I put my hand under it and then she hurried and moved it over to where the liquid goes hah it was all over the floor so funny!


We called Sister Conway and asked if we could do yard work at her place(My Forte). She invited us over and we cleaned the yard up and took all the weeds out and threw out small bushes and trees. It was so fun! Sister Conway watched us out her window and would casually come out and we told her we could bring a chair out for her, but she said it was to cold and went back inside. She said we can choose what plants we put in front of her house and in her garden! SO EXCITED.

Prayer Breakfast Invitation
Thursday Morning at 6:30 am we went to a prayer breakfast with Priests, Ministers, and Preachers of other churches. SO COOL. Our ward mission leader used to be a Priest of the Anglican Church and then joined our church.  Soon after he was baptized he was called as the bishop! He is now our ward mission leader and paid good money for us to come to this breakfast. Everyone was very dressed up and the Convention Center was very nice! They had 2 speakers who shared their testimonies and conversion stories. There was a beautiful musical number.  Someone from Mexico sang and someone from India played the piano. We sat across from this women named Marty from South Africa. She is a minister at her church and I brought up if she lived close to Mozambique and she said it's cornered to where she lives. I told her about the cyclone' s going on over there and she was very shocked. She said that's very uncommon for Mozambique.

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
