1/2 month down!!!!

Hey everyone!! half a month down!! crazy stuff. I am so glad to hear about all the moisture and to hear that you are all doing well. thank you so much for the emails and letters!! i love hearing from you guys.

So this week was pretty good. Its hard but hearing the blessings its already bringing is 110% worth every minute. i love it!! I loved hearing my familys voice on mothers day! that was so awesome! So to all the moms, happy late mothers day!! <3 I saw 3 of my UVU classmates and ward people so that was really cool!! We had 2 investigators last week and committed one to baptism (whew whew) and the other to considering baptism and working towards it. It was awesome because one was very skeptic about praying, she didnt like feeling, and we could not get her to pray so we kept teaching her from the Book of Mormon that God answers prayers and right as we thought she wasnt progressing, she said that she had prayed and started crying about the feeling that she knew God was listening and loved her. So we literally went from not praying to considering baptism. The Spirit is an amazing tool in our lives, holy moly.

We got our flight plans and we leave TUESDAY for Canada!!! we leave at 3:30 inthe morningand stop in Seattle so i am SO excited for that. I love it here at the MTC and the Spirit is so cool. We got to hear from Elder Weatherford of the Seventy and we get to listen to another general authority tonight. Soi am so excited to see who it is. One more story real quick. We had this investigator and the first and only thing we saidduring the lesson was "tell us about you :)" she talkedfor 45 minutes straight about her life story. I was getting nervous because we hadnt even prayed or started a lesson. But i got the strongest feeling that if the Savior was sitting by me, he would simply just listen. Even though we didnt get a word in until the end, the Spirit was so amazing. She told us at the end that our meeting was exactly what she needed and she knew she had come to the right place because we had just listened and she knew we cared. We bore testimony of Gods love for all of us and for her and she started crying and ahh.. it was such a good experience. We are the only district in our zone and it was so sad when the district above us left. In one of my pictures is a polaroid picture that is captioned BFF... thats Sister Archibald and she is the most amazing and hilarious person ive ever met. Besides Rev, KC, and my sister...Sister Archibald will always be my "BFF". Her story is amazing and something that sums up her testimony is John14:18! That scripture is so awesome.

Theres so much to say but I hope that out of my letters you guys know that i love and appreciate you all so so so very much. I know this Church is the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and we can come closer to him by following his example!! I love you!! talk to you next week when i am in Canada :) :)

PS..im sending this now but will be back on here this afternoon. :)

hi everyone!!! I hope that you have all had a great week and are safe from all these natural disasters!  This last week was good :) it was very busy and its going to get even more busy with the 2 baptisms coming up this weekend and 12 preset appointments we have. Its going to be a fun week! Our investigators are doing great and we are so pumped for this next Saturday!!! so life is good for everyone :) nothing really crazy happened this week. We have really grown close to the woman in the hospital and it was so cool to see how much she has grown. The first time we visited her, she was hiding the Book of Mormon around her roommates and was embarrassed of her religion. This last time we went and visited her, she had us bring extra copies of the Book of Mormon so she could write her testimony in them and give it to them! It was so awesome :)) I am so sorry but I really cant remember what even happened this week so here are some pictures. Oh we had Zone Conference!! That was

heyyy everyone! i hope you all had a great week. it was reallllyyyy weird when i realized that it was Thanksgiving and we were gonna have turkey dinner a whole month early. But it was awesome and I am so grateful to be here in Canada, even if its just a tad chilly! this week was a bit of a tough one but there was a lot of miracles for sure! there always is :) we found 2 new investigators! Ones name is Keita and he is from Accra, Ghana. Haha ya I about died when he said he was Ghana if you couldnt picture that! He is really awesome and sooo prepared. I met him at the bus stop and I got to talking to him and made him miss his bus (oops). Hes been reading the Book of Mormon and he has no doubt that it is the word of God with the Bible. It was really cool because he started talking about a scripture in John that talks about how Christ is our shephard and the next verse is when Christ is talking about how he would visit the people in the Americas (John 10:16) and how there are other &q

Hi everyone!!! I hope your week was super awesome!! Mine was pretty great!! Sooo Caitlin was baptized this week and it was so awesome!!! Our other investigator backed out last minute. It was really sad but we know that she has a testimony and that she will be baptized one day. But Caitlin. Holy moly she is awesome!!! Idk how many of you saw her testimony on Facebook but the growth she has made because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ... ITS SO AWESOME. When we first met her, holy moly it was so awkward because the Spirit was so strong in each lesson but she didnt know what in the world she was feeling because it was so foreign. Once she accepted that it was the Spirit and realized that this was Gods plan for her, she dropped everything that would hold her back in the blink of an eye. I love her so much!! We had a really cool experience at the library downtown the other day. So we had an appointment set for someone else but they ended up cancelling and we were just g
