Week #60 - Offering Genuine Love Hurts and Causes Pain, but it Also Brings JOY!



Sad news, We haven't been able to contact Lisa, We're guessing its because someone has scared her and given her Anti information.  We went to her work and found out she was transferring somewhere else (she doesn't want us to know where she works). Probably the saddest I've been over some one we've taught.
 



We've stayed in contact with Jessica though! We are going to see her tonight and bringing her fresh Mary's recipe chocolate chip cookies. We have been doing lots of cookie drop offs(no one rejects the offer) except we ran out of brown sugar and granulated sugar and used our last option, powdered sugar that actually tasted really good. They tasted like sweet biscuits. 


Sister Kirk asked if we could share the lessons with her son Theo who is 7 years old to prepare him for baptism. He is the cutest and as I was writing something down he sat right next to me and snuggled up by me and said "you are a good teacher" and smiled at me. SO CUTE. 


We had our last interview on Wednesday with President and Sister Shields! I can't believe they are going home! They shared good advice about school, and our future spouse. I asked President Shields what his motto was and he said Repentance. He lives and breaths it. We have it said to us all the time that "This is Repentance University."

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
