week 12

hi everyone! holy moly. this week was crazy..awesome..and crazy again. all good things, all good things :)

So it has just been storming like crazy here. The rain is insane!! Sister Passey and I are convinced that a tsunami is going hit or something wild. Haha i thought Valley weather was bi polar..Canada is probably worse even lol. So let me tell you why Im telling you about this crazy weather. We had like a crazy day and to be honest, it was a very discouraging day. We had been looking and looking for fellowshippers to come to our lesson with one of our investigators and it took some hard work and looking for two to come with us, finally got two men to come with us,  then that teaching appointment was cancelled, and it was just a crazy day. Then, we went to do our backups.. and our backups fell through because it was pouring rain and we couldnt tract in that. So we filled our time trying to fulfill our purpose as best as we could going through the area book and finally it was time we could head back to the apartment. Well, the day before we had went to our favorite little ladys home to see how she was doing and she was so sad because her flowers had gotten beaten up pretty bad in the storm. It was storming ridiculously hard at that time we had gotten home and as we finished praying as a companionship, we bolted up, drove to that womans home, and got all of her flowers undercover. She caught us doing it as she was looking out her window at the storm and we were conpletely drenched from the storm but honestly, Sister Passey and I felt SO beyond good after doing it. It was such a hard day and service made it a complete turn around. We got in the car and with smiles on our face like we had just won a million bucks haha and im not just saying that. Service is truly the antidote of having a bad day. When we forgot ourselves and went to work, we were filled with the Spirit. It was the coolest thing ever. 

Also, in other news... WE GOT FACEBOOK. So if you see me on Facebook, dont you fret- its legal lol. So catch you on there my friends :) Canada Edmonton Mission is now a Facebook mission. Its a bit weird..like really weird to see the Facebook app on my tablet but i know that we can hasten the work through technology. Anndddd the work is going great! We went from 1 investigator to FIVE this week!! Prayer is real. Prayer is real <3 Ive learned so much here in Beaumont and I just love this little place. In other other news, SISTER PASSEY AND I ARE GOING TO JASPER TODAY with a member!!! It was a pretty last minute trip and we are so excited so i am so sorry i wont be able to respond to alot of your emails today!! I love you all so much!! Thanks so much for all of the emails!!!!

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...

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...
