This week has been another amazing week full of miracles!! To start we had a multi Zone Conference and we all got to go through a session in the Calgary Temple! It was such a neat experience to have so many missionaries together all going through a Temple session! The Spirit was so strong and many of the temple workers were brought to tears as they saw all of us in white. It was truly an experience I will always cherish. After the Temple session we had a meeting with President and Sister Miles and the theme of the Conference was 'The Atonement of Christ'. We discussed how to use the Atonement and a lot of other things related to the sacrifice that Christ made for each of us. Sister Miles said something that really touched my heart though. She said, "Because of the Atonement of our Savior, Jesus Christ, He places certain people in our lives when we need them most because He knows how we feel." This just blew my mind! I had never realized that because of the Atonement Christ knows how I feel and blesses me with putting certain people in my life to help me feel loved by Him. That one concept has really caused me to reflect and think a lot. Now I am even more grateful for the Saviors sacrifice and it has helped me gain a deeper testimony that He truly does care about me individually and He sends people to help me and if I am close to the Spirit I can be sent to help others as well.
In addition to an amazing Zone Conference this week I had an awesome exchange with Sister Pipkin, one of my MTC companions!! We were really trying to talk to everyone that we saw... yes EVERYONE!! And I'm not going to lie, at times that can be a little intimidating, but we put our faith in the Lord and put our fears to the side and we invited everyone that we saw to learn more about Christ. After our dinner appointment we were walking back to our car and we noticed that someone was walking behind us but they were a little ways off... so we started to walk a little slower so that we could talk to them and then next thing I know Sister Pipkin flipped around (almost taking the guy out haha) and started talking to him! We chatted about what he was going to do over the long weekend and then we started talking to him about how we were missionaries and that we teach people about Jesus Christ. After a few minute of talking about the gospel we invited him to learn more and he said YES!!! We were so excited! So now we have an appointment to see him this coming weekend!! It was such a cool experience because as we were trying to be diligent and talk to everyone that was in our path the Lord blessed us with the opportunity to talk to someone who He had prepared! Oh I just love being a missionary! I am so grateful for the gospel and the opportunity that I have to share it with so many people in Canada!! (:
