Hey everyone!!! I hope that everyone has been doing great and has had an amazing week :) 

This week has been great here in Beaumont :)) Beaumont is actually the 5th fastest growing town/city here in the whole country of Canada so that's cool! But we were able to drive out for a little bit and do some service in this awesome greenhouse!! it was so much fun to be there in the country and help this woman with all her flowers! It was awesome because in church we were talking about the three gardens that have added purpose to this life: Garden of Eden, Garden of Gethsemane, and Garden of the Empty tomb. So every time I see a person's garden, I'm reminded of those three life changing gardens in our own life <3 this week really picked up the pace for the work here and it was so awesome to see the Lord's hand in His work. We have a new investigator and we committed her to baptism! She is so awesome and is truly one of those that are prepared for us. I'm so excited to see her progress and learn because she is truly just amazing. It's been so heart to heart teaching her these past couple lessons and reminds me what I'm doing as a missionary <3 Heavenly Father always takes care of his children, that's for sure :)  We tracted a lot this week but the sun has been shining and the weather has been so nice!! I have to tell this story because I was sure laughing. We knocked on this lady's door and before we could even say our names she says "get my cat!!!" as the cat escapes out the door (everyone has at least 2 animals of either cat or dog in their house here) and well.... I didn't know what to do so I just started chasing this cat until I finally caught it. Hahaha she didn't want to listen to our message but hey, we'll count it for service lol. The members here are so awesome! I love them and they remind me a lot of people back home so it makes me smile :) they are great at assisting us in missionary work!!! This week is Zone Conference, District Meeting, Apostle Visit, Temple Session, Trainee meetings, and exchanges so it's going to be pretty crazy but I am excited!! A scripture I really liked was Alma 26:16 so if you have time, you should read it :) or also if you aren't feeling reading, look up the Mormon Message "None Were With Him". It's super powerful. I hope you all have a great week :) thanks for all your love and support!! love you all!!

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
