Holy Cow... this week has been so amazing and so stink'n crazy!! (: To start, we were able to meet with Taylor ( the lady with the pink hair) and her kids this week! And before we left Taylor told us that Shaylynn and Cade (her kidos) are always so much nicer and so kind to each other after our visits! She asked if we could start coming over more than once a week because she loves how it helps them! (: Oh it is so amazing to see the Spirit making a difference in peoples lives!! (: Oh I just love it! (: Also we met with Ashley this week in Megan Layton's home (just a side note she is such a sweetheart!) and it was amazing!! The Spirit was so strong and we talked about the Plan of Salvation and Ashley actually lost her boyfriend 3 years ago... She said that what we talked about really helped her feel peace to know her boyfriend was okay! It was just so incredible!! (: And at the end of the lesson we asked if she would be willing to prepare and wanted to be baptized on November 28 and she said YES!!! (: Oh it was so so amazing! I just love seeing the Spirit touch so many hearts!! I am so so grateful to be able to be a part of this amazing work!! Now for some more crazy news... I am going to be training for the next two transfers in a new area!!!! I can't believe it! All that I know right now is that it is going to be is Southern Alberta and that my new companion could be from Utah or Taiwan!! (: I am so excited for this new adventure, but I'm not gonna lie... I'm so sad to leave Sister Kolodisi! We have been tearing up all morning knowing that this could be the last time we see each other!! I am so grateful that I had her as a companion! I have learned so much and grown so much with her!! (: Anyways all in all it has been an amazing week!! I am so so grateful to be here! I just LOVE the people here in Canada! They are changing my life, and I am so beyond grateful for it! (:

Another Amazing Week September 14, 2015
So this week has just been absolutely AMAZING!! (: We had another lesson with Liska and she still wants to get baptized but she is going to need to get married before she can... so her and her boyfriend are talking about a day they can get married so she can get baptized!!! (: I'm so excited for her!! (: She is just so amazing! I just love seeing how Heavenly Father prepares people! And knows exactly when they are ready to hear the gospel!! (: And on top of having a great lesson with Liska... We had another lesson with Ashley this week with a member and it was amazing!! Sister Layton (the member that came to the lesson) was so amazing she just bore such a sweet and pure testimony about how the gospel has blessed her and her families life! Oh the spirit was just so strong and it was so neat! (: It really opened my eyes to how important it is to have a member be at the lessons because they have so much life experience and such pure testimonies that they can share with the investigators!! (: And the real kicker is we invited Ashley to be baptized when she knew that the things we were teacher her were true... and she said YES!!! And on top of that she came to all 3 hours of church with her son!! (: I am just so grateful to be here in Canada! It is such an amazing opportunity to feel the Spirit so strong and see the Spirit touching the lives of so many people here! I love being a missionary! I am so so grateful for this opportunity!! (:

Miracles Continue in Canada September 8, 2015
The miracles continue here in Canada!! (: This week we were able to have a lesson with Taylor's kidos (the lady with the pink hair) and it was absolutely amazing!! The kids were so involved! So their names are Shaylynn (7) and Kade (6) and man they were just the sweetest kidos ever! (: So the first thing that Kade says to us is that he loves God! And Shaylynn asked us if we can pray all day to God? Oh it was so amazing to see such sweet and innocent spirits just want to learn more about their Father in Heaven! They didn't know who Jesus Christ was or that God is our literal Heavenly Father so we started from the beginning with them and holy cow... can I just say it was so so amazing! There mom was so sweet and she said that the whole day before we came all the Shaylynn could say was, "I'm so excited for the girls to come and teach us about God" and "When are the girls coming?" We are going to start to see their family every week now so we can keep teaching Kade and Shaylynn about God, and hopefully Taylor and her husband will want to learn more as well!! (: It was such a neat experience being able to see the light of Christ just shine through these kids eyes as they learned more about the Love that Heavenly Father has for them and that they can pray to Him every day! (: Oh it just fills my heart with joy! (:
Also this week we saw one of the potentials that Sister K picked up with Sister Calder on exchanges and while we were talking to her she actually asked us if she could come to church with us!! That like never happens!!! It was so so neat!!! (: So this week we are going to teach her about the Restoration and then we will walk with her to church this Sunday!! (: Well needless to say this week has been amazing! And these are just a few of the miracles that we have seen through this week! I am so grateful to be here!! I love being able to see the joy the Gospel of Jesus Christ brings people!! It is such an amazing feeling to see there eyes be filled with the light of Christ and to witness them being able to feel the Spirit touch their hearts!! (:

More Miracles August 31, 2015
This week has been another week of Miracles!! To start I learned this week to not judge a book by it's cover, that's for sure!! So this week me and Sister Kolodisi were out and about trying to make a few stop bys and do some street contacting! When we turned the corner we saw this lady on her porch with florescent pink hair, tattoos everywhere, and smoking... but we are all children of God so we walked up and started talking to her (: We chatted a little then we told her what we do as missionaries and how we go around and talk to people about Jesus Christ. Then she looked at us and said, "My kids have been asking me a lot of questions about God lately and I'm not sure how to answer them...." So me and Sister K asked her if we could come back and answer all their questions and teach her kids more about God... and she said YES!!! (: So we will be seeing her and her family this Saturday and starting the lessons with them!! (: It is so amazing to see how the Lord will put us in the right place at the right time if we are trying our best and doing all we can!!! Along with that amazing miracle we had exchanges this week (which just means we spend a day in a different area with other Sister missionaries) and Sister Kolodisi and Sister Calder picked up another 3 new investigators!!! (: And while I was in the other area we were headed to an appointment but it ended up falling through... and all of a sudden a guy that randomly showed up to church (I don't know if you remember that from a few months ago... but this random guy (Florentino is his name) just showed up and started coming to church at our ward!!!) But the bummer was he didn't live in our area... ): so we gave the referral to the mission office but they never actually gave it to the other Sisters.... so when we were all in the other area together we ended up meeting with him instead of their other appointment and now they are teaching him the lessons!! It never ceases to amaze me how Heavenly Father cares about all the little things in our lives and he cares about each and everyone of us!! I am so grateful to be a Missionary and have this special opportunity to help people feel of the love Heavenly Father has for all of us!! (:
