Week Full Of Miracles October 26, 2015

This week has been absolutely filled with MIRACLES!! (: Our Mission President gave us a challenge to get 2 new investigators in one week.. and I'm not gonna lie that isn't an easy thing here in Canada.. But we worked as hard as we could, we prayed for guidance and asked all of the members for referrals and low and behold the Lord provided us a way to find 2 new investigators in one week!! (: It is such an amazing thing to see how Heavenly Father truly does have a plan for all of His children and that he prepares the members and their friends!! Oh it has just been an amazing week! Also a random side note... one of the members in one of the wards that we cover was talking to us about how our non-member neighbor phoned him up and chatted with him about having new Sister Missionaries!! It was kinda funny that even though this man wasn't a member he was still so excited to have us here in Fort Macleod and that he noticed us! It real made me stop and think... how so many people are watching all of us when we don't even know it! And that we have such an amazing opportunity as members of the church because people truly do recognize the light of Christ that the Gospel brings!! (: I know that as each of us do what is right and as we are kind to all those that are around us that people really are noticing but even more important than that is that our Heavenly Father knows that we are following the example of His Son, Jesus Christ, and helping and loving the people around us!! Oh there have just been so many amazing things happen this week! I am so Eternally grateful to have this opportunity to be on a mission! I am so grateful for the Gospel and for the Savior!! (:

Amazing Week October 19,2015

As for this week! It has been amazing!! Me and Sister Lyu had a dinner at the Relief Society Presidents house this week from the Park Lake Ward! She is such a sweetheart! Her son is actually out on his mission now too! And he is serving in the Provo Utah Mission!! So cool, right?!? (: Her husband is actually less active though and when we first arrived at their house he was pretty cold... me and Sister Lyu weren't quite sure what to do... so we were just our selves and tried to be friendly (: As we finished up dinner we sat in their living room and started to share a message it was amazing to see the change in him... He sat up and listened and even talked a little bit!! And by the end of the lesson he was offering us candy, getting us all sorts of things and chatting with us! It was so cool to see the change in this man as he felt the Spirit! After we finished the little message we asked him if it would be okay with him if we came back and practiced teaching the lessons with him... and he said YES!!! (: It is such an amazing experience to see how powerful the Spirit really is! I know that as each of us tries our best to be kind and loving to the people around us that the Spirit will touch their hearts and even though there might not be huge changes at first... they will slowly begin to feel the Love that Heavenly Father and the Savior has for them!! And that is what is most important!! Just like it says in 1 Nephi 16:29 "by small means the Lord can bring about great things" It truly is through the small acts of kindness, the love that we show others, and our willingness to follow the Spirits promptings that we can help the Lord by helping the people around us feel of His love!! I am so grateful to be a missionary and to have this amazing opportunity!! (:

This is me, Sister Freeman (from England), Sister Lyu, and Sister Tilly (from Utah!!) all at out apartment! (: 

Thanksgiving In Canada October 12, 2015

Well I hope that everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!! That is if you are Canadians!!! (: haha Yesterday was Thanksgiving here in Canada kinda crazy but I'm not gonna complain about the turkey and potatoes!! (: On top of it being an awesome Thanksgiving we have a new investigator!! Whoot whoot!! (: Her name is Erin, she is a sweetheart but her brother passed away just a little over a year ago and she has felt like he has guided her to learn more about the church!! It was so cool in the lesson she shared experiences about how she has felt the Spirit and she even said "So when I get baptized...." and me and Sister Lyu couldn't believe that she had said that!!! She still has a lot of questions but that is what we are here for!! We are just so excited for Erin!! It is so amazing to see how Heavenly Father leads people to learn about the gospel!! It just goes to show that the Spirit is truly the one that prepares peoples hearts!!! (: I'm just so grateful to be a missionary!!! (:

Conference Weekend October 5, 2015

So for this week... it has been a week of  miracles!! (: To start we have been able to see a few less actives and have some awesome lessons!! And yesterday we went over to a members house to talk to her more about her friend that we were hoping to be able to start teaching and while we were there her friend actually texted her and said that she wanted to meet with the missionaries!!! We were so stink'n excited!! (: So we are going to have the first lesson with her tomorrow!!! Whoot Whoot!! Sister Lyu and me are so pumped!! And as for General conference... I don't even know where to begin it was amazing!! I absolutely loved Elder Nelson's talk about the importance of women!! I teared up listening because I could just feel the Spirit so strong testifying to me of the importance of women and that we need both Mothers and Fathers to live the Gospel and be examples to their children!! (: One of the other powerful things that really hit me was from Elder Dale G. Renlund. He talked about how the Lord calls upon us not because of what WE do or because of how amazing WE are... but because of what HE can do THROUGH us according to HIS will!! It was so humbling to remember that we are all simply tools in the Lords hands and He uses us because we can help others around us!! Not because we are better or more qualified than other people! We don't need titles or authority to look for opportunities to serve the people around us... we all can be tools in the Lords hands wherever we are... The Lord takes all of us as we are and helps us become who He needs us to be through helping and loving those around us!! I am so grateful for a living Prophet and for living apostles! This gospel sure is amazing!! (: I am eternally grateful to have this opportunity to be out here on a mission!!

Crazy Week!! September 28, 2015

This week has been crazy!!! To start off I have a cute new companion, Sister Lyu!! She is from Taiwan!! Crazy cool right? (: And to add to her coolness she is a convert of only a year and a half and the only member in her family!!! Isn't that so stink'n awesome!! She is stink'n amazing and she came strait from the MTC!! Whoot whoot! (: To add to the craziness we both came to a new area!! We are in a little small town called Fort Macleod!! The town reminds me a lot of Hyrum and there are so many small town outside of Fort Macleod that are just like Avon! I feel right at home here!! So, we cover 3 wards: Fort Macleod 1st and 2nd ward and the Park lake ward, Sister Lyu and me are the first Sisters to EVER be in this area and everyone has been so welcoming!! (: Last night our Ward Mission Leader, Brother Orr, had us come over to his house to have a meeting about some of the members in the ward and which ones we should visit. And he lives on a farm!! So Sister Lyu and me got to hold little kittens, pet some horses, and walk around in some fields!! It was so great!! I haven't been able to do that in 6 months!!! (: And on top of that Brother and Sister Orr where so welcoming! They gave us popcorn and root-beer and we had a nice chat and oh man, it just made me feel right at home! Since we just got into the area we don't have any investigators quite yet... but we have a potential that we should be meeting with this week!! And we have been given a few referrals!!! I am so stink'n excited to be serving in Fort Macleod and I am so so grateful to have Sister Lyu as my companion!! Man, I sure do love being a missionary!! I am so grateful that even though I am in a different country surrounded by different people... that Heavenly Father and His gospel are still the same! And that it doesn't matter where we are, Heavenly Father will always send people our way to help us feel loved!
