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...

Happy 4th of July everyone! I'll try to keep some of the Star Spangled Banner in my mind today but after this weekend, O Canada is engraven in my head forever.   😂 Transfers came and I'm staying here in Beaumont and getting a new companion!!! Her name is Sister Patsy so I am so excited to get to know her and see her tomorrow!! :) :)) :) ):)) This week flew by. Time always flies!  We had a very busy weekend with Canada Day!! We were able to go to our wards pancake breakfast and a lot of the community came. It was a really neat experience to be there for their flag raising and all of their festivities. At the pancake breakfast, we noticed this family that we had knocked on their door. When we knocked on their door, we started going into a little discussion and nothing came out of it. Well they were there!!! At the pancake breakfast!!! And they recognized us and they started asking more and more questions and we taught them the first lesson right then and there in the m...
