This week has been FULL OF MIRACLES!! So this week has been the first full week that me and Sister Blaser have been in our new area, the Bow Valley Ward in Calgary. And we have been so so so blessed! This week we were stopping by a media referral to bring someone a Bible that they ordered online. As we were walking along the street after Sister Blaser and I felt like we should knock on a random door... so we did. And the lady that answered (Mikayla) chatted with us for a while and after we asked her if she was religious she said, "Yes we believe in God but we just haven't found a church that suites us yet...." At this point Sister Blaser and I almost died from excitement and after picking our jaws up off the ground we continued to talked to her about how the Gospel of Jesus Christ blesses families. Then she asked us, "So when would you like to come back?" Needless to say we were so so excited and we set up an appointment to see her the next day! (: Then when we came back she AND her two young adult kids (Robert and Laura) all sat in on the lesson!! And it was AMAZING!!! They had so many inspired questions and they have been SO prepared by the Lord!!! It was just such a neat experience to see that Heavenly Father knew exactly who was in that house and He had the Spirit prompt us to knock on their door!!! Oh and the kicker of the story for this week is that Robert has read 20 pages of The Book of Mormon and he came to church!!!! I just love being a missionary so much!!! It is so neat to see how Heavenly Father is so mindful and knows each of us so personally!! (: I just love the gospel!! (:
Another cool story from this week, Sister Blaser and I went to dinner at Harvey's (an amazing burger joint here in Calgary) and this burger joint they build your burger in front of you... kind of like Subway... As the lady( her name turned out to be Andrea) was building my chicken wrap I just started talking to her just like normal and asked her if she had any fun plans for her weekend and she said that she was just going to work and then asked me if I had any plans. I told her that I was a missionary and how every day we talk to people about Jesus Christ and how He blesses our lives. Then Andrea asked me how she could get a job like mine... haha Then I told her that being a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints isn't a job, that we don't get paid we just come because we love our Savior. Then I asked her if she might like to come to our church and see what it was like. And she knew exactly were the church was!! It was such a cool experience!! One of the biggest things that I have learned this week is that it is so important to be kind and try to talk with EVERYONE! Heavenly Father is mindful of all of us and He knows each of us so personally and He places certain people around us so that we can brighten their days and help them feel loved by Him!! I just am so grateful to have an opportunity to serve a mission and to meet and talk to so many of my Brothers and Sisters!! I love being a missionary so much! (:
They have a book swap in Canada so we left a Book Of Mormon!
