week 9 (oops)

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.  ðŸ˜‚

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 middle of the event. It was so cool!! We gave them a Book of Mormon and they said they wanted to come to church the next Sunday. The guy was really thinking hard about it and he was like "wow, well there is reason why we are here right now." I couldnt agree more. It was really cool because there was so much more missionary work done there also far than just us. A lot of people asked for a chapel tour and our members were able to give them. It was really awesome to see and hear about the experiences our whole ward had. There was another guy that we tracted into and he had been really going through a hard time but just wanted to get his life back together. It's really cool how we are seriously led to people when we just pray to have those experiences and are diligently looking. We left him with a few things and he told us that if we didn't get anything out of that day, we should remember that we helped one person remember that God still cares. Being a missionary is really so awesome. And our investigator is getting baptized in 11 days!!!!! Ah! It's going to be great! She is so awesome and I'm just so excited for the things she will do in the church. Yesterday was my 2 month mark. Holy smokes time is a weird concept. I feel like I just got here but then I look and see I'm starting to get some time under my belt. Anyway, I hope you all have a safe and fun week!! Alma 37:40. I love you all!

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 t...

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...
