HOLY COW WHAT A WEEK.
Something I have realized this week is how much happier we are when our focus is to become Christlike. If we can strive for the attributes he has, literally everything else falls into place. We don't have to be a different person, just a better version of who we already are. God doesn't see us as who we are, he sees us as who we can become. Even though I'm so incredibly imperfect, I know that God still loves me. And he will help me to become the person he sees.
first off, transfer calls
were this morning......aaaandd.......I'M GETTING TRANSFERRED TO DRAYTON
VALLEY! Definitely did not see that coming. We thought for sure I
would be in Grande Prairie for 6 months, but obviously God always knows
better, and although I'm heartbroken to have to say goodbye to all the
people I have grown to love so much here, I'm excited for a new
adventure. I'll be with Sister James, who goes home after this
transfer.
We got to go ice skating last
Monday which was definitely an adventure! I only biffed it once, so I
call that a success. :) We had some pretty amazing lessons with our
investigators, things really are looking up for the Bear Creek ward!
For
Halloween, our ward had a trunk-or-treat/chili cook off! That was
definitely an adventure. Along with the Elders, we dressed up as old
people.....hahaha it was EPIC. We borrowed canes from a member, and put
flour in our hair (which takes like 6 washes to get out btw...don't try
this at home, kids.) I probably said the word "whippersnappers" more in
one night than I have in my whole life. (hence the subject
line...sorry, i'm running out of ideas people.)
We
tracted into this pentecostal lady on Saturday who invited us in! It
wasn't until we got in that we realized she was pentecostal. We ended
up being there for like...2 hours..which was not good, but we semi
taught the first lesson, but she was more interested in comparing the
things we believe. We just bore testimony of the Book of Mormon and the
power that it has. the spirit was so strong, and she ended up saying
she'd read ours if we would read hers (she gave us a bible study
pamphlet from her church) so we agreed! Hopefully they go back to teach
her after I leave!

Onward, ever onward.
