So this week I actually got pretty sick.. but all is well my companion is a saint and she took really good care of me!! (: The teaching is coming... we have a goal for this week to contact 10 extra people a day, so 70 people a week! And we are praying that as we continue to show the Lord our diligence that He will help us find the people whom He has prepared to receive the gospel!! (: So that will be great this week and hopefully help us have a lot more people to teach! But we are working with a lot of less active members so that has been a really amazing experience! It has been so special to be able to testify of how I have seen the Gospel of Jesus Christ change my life. And it has been really neat to see how some of the things that the people we see are struggle with are things that our family struggled with too! There truly are no coincidences... Heavenly Father is mindful of each of us and places us in certain places for a reason! (: My companion, Sister Blaser, is amazing! We have so much fun together! She actually grew up on a potato farm in Rexburg so everyone always calls us the "farm girls" haha (: Just like my dad says, "Work Hard Play Hard." That is the moto that me and Sister Blaser live by! We try to work as hard as we can and have fun while doing it!! (: So all in all everything here in Canada is going great! I truly do just love being a missionary! I am so grateful for this opportunity! (:
So crazy cool story from this week.... A little farther North well actually, a lot farther North is Fort McMurray. And the past few weeks there have been some crazy wild fire's there and they have had to evacuate the whole city... that is more than 80,000 people because everything is being burnt to the ground! It has been so sad to hear all the stories of everyone having to leave everything behind jump in a car and pray that they might have a home to go back to... But despite all of the craziness and the totally devastation and flattening of the entire city of Fort McMurray, the Chapel where The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints meet is still standing! Everything around the Chapel is black and burnt but the Chapel and it's grounds are still green and untouched by the fire! Now it is being used to help the fire department and rescue crews meet, so they can continue to try to put out the fire! Isn't that just so cool! This was such a testimony builder for me! I reminds me of Luke 1:37 "For with God nothing shall be impossible."
