Week #12 - Look to God and Live!


Its been a great week here in Canada:) 
This week we were going around putting up Free English posters and an asian man was looking over our shoulders as we were taping them on poles and I turned and he was right behind me hah he said he was trying to see what we were putting up and we said we taught free english and he asked if we knew of any religious groups for 20-25 year olds to meet on sundays hahah how could you not say God is real? Sister Smith and I lit up i'm sure America saw us glowing and we told him about our church and invited him to come. 

When it rains in Canada it really rains hahah we were out contacting and it was so dramatic the wind was blowing and it was just coming down hah it was so fun though we went to a bus station and talked to some people it was a good time. 

Its unreal how much the mission has changed me hahh litterally has triggered all of my emotions to the dot. I've felt things i've never felt before and I've learned things I would have never ever learned if I didn't come out. I've definityly learned how real and strong Light really is. Its a legit thing. I've also every where I go and everything I study relates to the tree of life. I know God is showing me this to try and help me with things and I've learned so many new things about it. Its so crazy how God knows all theres no reason to be afraid or worry. As long as we do what he asks everything will fall into place. I've learned that if you really want something you pray and ask for assistance and it literally works. 

Thanks for the Love and prayers I can tell you right now that from your prayers I've felt my spirit strengthen. Prayer is so important to me and I've seen how strong it really is. So thank you so much for that. 

Scriptures of the week:
Alma 37:47
*  "See that ye look to God and Live"

Mosiah 5:15, 1 Timothy 4:12, Joshua 1:9 (Standing as a Witness of God) 
*  "Ye should be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works." 
*  "Be thou an example to the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." 
*  "Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whitersoever thou goest."

1 Nephi 20:18
*  "Thy peace has been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea."

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
