Week 20





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 going to go contact on the railing system. Some other missionaries last minute said that they wanted to pass over an investigator to us since they are in our area. So we real quick drove to downtown and went to the library. This was at like 7 and we had an appointment at 8. We got to the library and waited for this guy and it was starting to get too late to have a lesson. But I recognized this lady that is in our ward..we havent learned everyones names quite yet so I just waved at her and smiled. Well she came over to us and told us that she was going to go inactive but that she was praying for help and then we came!!! We didnt end up meeting with the investigator but it was so cool to see how Heavenly Father leads us to these peope because all in all, we were led to the library to talk to her. 

Funny story for the week. We got the peace officers called on us. Dont worry, we ran. Hahahaha jk. So a bunch of us missionaries got together and sang a bunch of hymns in the underground LRT station (kinda like a subway). We were having the best time ever when we got a call from another set of missionaries saying that the cops were coming after us because someone reported us! hahaha so we got out of there but it was just funny how someone called the peace officers on people who are just trying to publish peace hahah! 

Its getting pretty chilly, but its just been raining raining raining. No snow yet so everyones wondering what in the world is going on. I hope that you all have a great week and if it hasnt started out too good...heres this scripture that is one of my favorites that I think Ive already shared but I just love it!!! 

1 Peter 1:7
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ

Thank you so much for all your love and support. I love you guys tons!!!

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...
