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 we could do service for and they pointed to a home down the street. We went over and the man just let us in.  We were so confused and then his wife walked in and about had a heart attack. We found out later that the man has dementia and this has happened before. We told her we met some people and they said to come here.  We introduced ourselves as missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and asked if we could help them in any way.  It was fun to visit with them.  We came back a few days later and helped trim and prepare their beautiful bushes for the winter. 

I was reading the 4th Missionary and it talked about how God's will can become my will when I consecrate myself. 

Oct 2  - We chose a theme today of Red doors and Pink flowers. Every door that had either we would knock on it. We brought Claire and Serena with us and they loved it!!  We sang beauty and the beast and the sound of music as they danced to each house in the rain. They asked if they could come back and dance for everyone and do a talent show. 

Oct 3  - Saw a cardinal in the window and remembered that Grandma Reeder is around helping me. 
Had dinner with the Omamohwo's.  Juliet would say "EAT, EAT" hahha so I had to eat more than my stomach was ready for. 

Beauty vs. Practical. In decision making. 

Oct 4 - Went to dinner with Sister Zelenko and "Heart Attacked" a door.

Oct 5 - "she molds living clay to her hopes" -Elder Eyring 
watched conference at the Omamohwos home

Oct 6 - Conference was amazing!!

More later, 
LOVE, Sister Rees

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 ...

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...
