Temples and happiness and joy and Egyptians

i don't even know how to write about all that happened this week.  SO MUCH.

-the adversary is still trying really hard going against our english class.  The people at the library keep taking down our fliers, then we ask them about it so they put them back up, then the next day we come back and they're gone again!!!  BUT notwithstanding the opposition, John came to our class last week!  He was the only one, and his english is actually really good.  (he's from India) and basically he just asked us a bunch of questions about our church so we ended up teaching him the first lesson.  It was awesome.  he's coming back this week. :)  

-we had supper with the B family!!! and this time the husband was home!  they want to come back to church and they're so close.  they're so wonderful.  They remind me a lot of our family, and they're actually coming back to activity while their girls are almost the same age as Britney and I when our family came back. :)  They wanted to come to church this week, but it was the Montreal temple dedication!

-we're teaching Maggie now!!! She's Egyptian and suuuper Catholic.  it's really awesome because she's in such a good place to receive the restored gospel right now!  We planned on teaching her the restoration, but when we got in there, she just told us about all these family issues she is having and all these hard things in her life, and basically the Holy Ghost was just SCREAMING plan of salvation into my ears, so we taught her part of the Plan of Salvation instead.  she wants to come to church with us this week and she's letting us come back tomorrow!  #pray4maggie 

-I prayed for snow yesterday morning and what happened? about 3 hours later it started DUMPING and it hasn't quit yet.  sooooo.  yeah.  we spent our morning shoveling all our neighbours' driveways.  :)  #askandyeshallreceive

The wheelers and the Jarvis' ️️️

-i had THEEE BIGGEST TENDER MERCY OF MY LIFE THIS WEEKEND.  We met some sisters at the temple, and as we were walking into the lobby, i see through the doors none other than SISTER WHEELER from Grande Prairie!!!!!!  I literally just bolted and she gave me the biggest hug and it was just amazing.  I may or may not have shed a few tears...Brother and Sister Wheeler came back to church just a little before I got to Grande Prairie at the beginning of my mission, and they have since been sealed, and are now doing temple work for their ancestors!!! :)  Sister Wheeler just kept saying, "I think this is what Heaven is going to be like." It was all really emotional and the spirit was just filling my heart with so much JOY!!! like...FILLED TO THE BRIM!!!

"Therefore, let us glory, yea, we will glory in the Lord; yea, we will rejoice, for our joy is full; yea, we will praise our God forever. Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long-suffering towards the children of men? Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel." Alma 26:16

that's basically how I feel.  I truly can't even say the smallest part which I feel.  

God is good, my friends.  

Onward, ever onward.

Yep yep

Transfers are this week and I'm STAYING IN RIVER VALLEY!  I've never had this many
transfers in one area before, so this will be fun. :) I'm excited to get one more transfer
with Sister McKeon! 

okay i don't have much time but here are a few miracles

SISTER QUESADA AND TWO OF HER KIDS CAME TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY!!!!
They are the lost sheep we found the first week I got here.  It has been really hard for
her to take the step to come back to church, because her husband doesn't want us to
teach him anymore and he doesn't want to come back.  BUT SHE CAME!  We went and
hugged her and said we were so glad she came and she says, "well.  there comes a
point when you have to decide and act.  God is with me so I know I can do it.  I know it is
right."  SHE'S SO AMAZING. It was kind of like an inspirational movie. Ya know the kind that
just make you so excited and ready to take on the world? :)  Such strength and faith.  man.
I'm so grateful for her.  

Yesterday, we were in the car cutting up some fliers for our english class, and this lady
was walking on the sidewalk next to us.  I rolled down my window and we started talking
to her, and she recognized me immediately.  She said, "you talked to me on a bus downtown
once!" I didn't recognize her, but i'm sure I did.  (we talk to so many people..it's crazy..)
but then she told us that she moved just down the street and is coming out of what has
been a crappy life.  then she said, "ever since that day on the bus that you talked to me,
my life has been looking up.  things are getting better."  PLANTING SEEDS IS A REAL
THING I'M TELLING YOU!!!  Yep.  that was probably one of the most humbling experiences.
the Lord really does work through his children to meet others needs.  I LOVE THE GOSPEL.  

SOOOO much opposition is in force against our english class we're trying to teach. 
the fliers we put up have been thrown away and lost and it has been crazy, but we finally
had a few people call us saying that they will be coming this week!!!  WE'RE SO EXCITED!!!
"No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing!"  

WE HAD ANOTHER CAR SIGN MIRACLE!! We showed it to this man named Hashim and
he nodded saying he wanted a book of mormon, but he couldn't pull over and it was crazy
and long story short, we couldn't find him.  We prayed our guts out and then decided to drive,
and we saw a car that looked a little like his so we followed him and flashed our brights at him
(hahahah it was a good thing it ended up being him) and then he pulled over and we ran and gave
him the Book!!!!!!!!  GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS! He really does.  

Moroni 7:33 "And Christ hath said: If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever
thing is expedient in me."

anywho, I know that God's hand is in the work and I know that He loves and knows each of you. 

 

Onward, ever onward.

 

Sister Jones 

We made DREAMCATCHERS with s super cool lady who isn't a member

She totally carved that melon!

Some awesome members ️

Our district

Annnd Remembrance Day poppies!

Yep.

We had two ZTM's this week and gave some trainings and it was all really fun and spirit led and the missionaries here are just incredible.  

We started working with this less active family who is deciding to come back to church!  We'll call them the B family.  We had a lesson with the mom, and she opened up to us a lot with some concerns and also how they feel like they  need to get back to church.  We weren't sure what to share before going in, but the spirit just brought it to my mind so quickly and it was exactly what she needed.  We're really excited to keep working with them, we're seeing them again tonight! 

There's this newly developed neighborhood in our area that we call Erindale (mostly because we forget what it's called all the time, but also because it's MAGICAL!!!!)  Literally, every single time we knock on any doors there, at least one house lets us in to teach them.  On Sunday night, we went, the first two doors weren't interested, but the third let us in! They are a Filipino family and we just simply taught the restoration and the Book of Mormon and it was SO powerful.  They now want the Tagalog elders to teach them!  

 

Then, Latha, who was right next door let us in after us only saying we wanted to teach her about eternal families.  She's from India and has the cutest little boys ever.  One is 8 and one is 3.  (i don't know how to even try to spell their names..) but yeah they're adorable.  Right when we sat down on the couch, the little 3 year old just JUMPS up onto my lap and cuddles me it was so cute. Then I had to sneakily put him on the couch instead because of mission rules...but it was just precious.  They go to a Pentecostal church, and after us teaching Latha about the restoration, she wants to come to our church this Sunday to see what it's like!  We're also teaching her again tomorrow!  Pray for Latha!  She's wonderful!  

 

Then.....the house next door to her was a man named Paul who is Chinese!  He was so confused when we knocked on his door, but the spirit helped him understand what we were saying and we got to go back the next day with the Mandarin speaking elders.  It went really well and let me tell you i am SO GRATEFUL that Heavenly Father didn't ask me to speak Mandarin on the mission.  holy moly.  we were so lost.  BUT something really neat: when one of the elders started reciting the First Vision in Chinese, I automatically felt the spirit and just knew that it was the first vision.  THE CHURCH IS TRUE. :) 

 

THENNNNN the next house was a Turkish family!  The parents don't speak super great english, but we're going to bring them a turkish Book of Mormon. :)  yep.  

okay and THENNNNN yesterday (on exchanges with Sister Smith who is a greenie and Australian and a BOSS btw)  we went back to the same street and got let into ANOTHER Filipino house.  Victor found a Book of Mormon at Good Will and he said, "I saw it, and knew it was for me, so now I have it here!"  His wife and sister who live with him are SUUUPER catholic, there were statues of Mary all over the place, but I think he really is elect.  So we'll go back with Tagalog on Friday. :)  

 

THENNNNN (I bet you're wondering when the miracles will end on this street..hahha NOT YET!) we knocked on Dennis' door.  He's Russian and SO elect it's unreal.  He was kind of not wanting to talk, and then he saw the Book of Mormon picture on the back of the pamphlet we gave him, and that made him even a little more unwilling to listen.  But he kept talking to us and the spirit just literally gave us the words to say and it was incredible.  You could literally see the light in his eyes getting brighter and brighter.  The spirit just testified over and over again as we tried to answer his questions as best we could, and after 40 minutes on his porch, he finally accepted a copy of the Book of Mormon and said he would read it.  We're going back in a week to see how it's going.  I just...AHHH can't even describe how the love of God just fills my heart when I talk to these people.  man...that's what it's all about.  I LOVE IT. 

we had Stake Conference, and the Adult session on Saturday night was SO POWERFUL.  it was the bomb.  Elder and Sister Spackman came from Calgary and they are just so wonderful.  A lot of their words were about missionary work.  It was so solid.  Elder Spackman talked about a general statistic, that people, on average, have 7 contacts with the church before they are baptized.  (whether or not this is completely accurate is besides the point i want to make).  So often we think we are unsuccessful missionaries or people trying to share the gospel or even just serve people, because we try and invite, and they don't accept, so we think we have failed.  THAT'S SO NOT TRUE.  When a seed is planted, it doesn't bloom the next day.  It takes frequent water, sunlight, and care until it finally blooms over time.  The efforts we make DO matter and they DON'T go unnoticed by our Heavenly Father.  "there is no such thing as something for nothing with the Lord." Most of the time, our efforts are numbers 1-6, and we don't really see what happens after that.  But my friends, i'm here to tell you that they do matter and every time you reach out to serve someone, you are making a difference.  You have no idea the difference you make in others lives when you simply reach out and serve.  THAT is the way of the Saviour: reaching outward.  

 

i love you all and i love the gospel and i love Alberta Beef.  

Onward, ever onward.

#elnino

Greetings friends!

I'm using the microphone to type...I feel pretty cool right now. Also, we spent our day at Costco eating all their free samples for lunch. #Winning 

It has been a roller coaster of a week....not sure what to share with y'all. 

First things first, WE GOT A NEW INVESTIGATOR!!! Her name is Heather and she is super cool and She reminds me of mom. And they have the same name so that's cool too.  her husband is a member, and she wanted us to come to teach her son, but he wouldn't pay attention so we just taught her instead and she agreed to let us do the lessons with her!  We also got to help her decorate for her son's Halloween party which was much too scary for 7 year olds...but it was a good time. We also went to check it out on Saturday when all his friends were there, and there were a ton of moms we got to talk to!  It was a GOLD MINE for finding families :) 

We also found an investigator for the Mandarin speaking elders!  We knocked on the door, and Cindy let us in and she is so sweet. It was a tender mercy. :)

At the sisters training meeting with sister moser and sister whiting ️️

We had our sisters training meeting and it was BOMB. sister Mckeon and I gave a training on being positive and loving yourself.  We showed this video that all the sisters loved. It wasn't made by the church, but we both just felt like we needed to share it so badly!!  We asked president and he was kind of giving us a hard time about it but he let us show it anyway.  Afterwards, so many sisters came up to us telling us it was exactly what they needed at that time. THE SPIRIT IS THE BOMB. and God really does love all his children SO MUCH. Whoever is reading this right now, YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD!  You really are. Don't you forget it. 

(The video is called "who you are, a message to women" if you wanna watch it on YouTube)

Then we had MLC which was good and long and super spiritual.  

ALSO THE BEST THING EVER HAPPENED 

remember last week when I told y'all about the guy who flipped us off after we showed him the signs in our car?  Well we were driving and came up on a red light, so I pulled up right next to the guy in the other lane and sister Mckeon put the "Jesus loves you" sign up and he looked at us and just said "thank you, thank you, thank you". Then we showed him the others that say, "we have a message that will change your life, all you have to do is read and pray.  We have a free copy of the Book of Mormon for you!"  He just nodded and then we motioned for him to follow us and he did and we pulled over and waved him down and he pulled over!! We gave him the Book of Mormon and he wants to meet with us!  His name is Julian, and he is Spanish and on the north side, so we're passing him over tomorrow :) :) :) IT WORKED!!! Heavenly Father is he best. 

Exchanges

Also the exchange in Drayton was good, sister Torsak is WONDERFUL!  And those people are my favourite. I love them so much. 

Oh and it has been snowing. But there's this thing called "el nino" where every 8 years or so it is a super mild winter. So it should be a good one this year. I was kind of hoping for a crazy winter...so I could say I endured a really cold one...but I should probably just be grateful we won't be shoveling the car out of snow as much this year :) 

I was reading the Book of Mormon about a bunch of wars and sad events that happened in Alma. Alma 62:41 says this, 

"But behold, because of the exceedingly great length of the war between the Nephites and the Lamanites many had become hardened, because of the exceedingly great length of the war; and many were softened because of their afflictions, insomuch that they did humble themselves before God, even in the depth of humility."

Drayton Sisters

 This verse really hit me hard. BROTHERS AND SISTERS YOU HAVE THE GIFT TO CHOOSE HOW YOU REACT TO YOUR TRIALS. the beauty of this life is that we are created as agents to act and not to be acted upon. D&C 58 says, 

"27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;

28 For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward."

You gotta protect your agency. Don't let Satan deceive you and make you think that you don't have the power to overcome opposition. You have the Saviour, Jesus Christ, who has already overcome the adversary. 

"In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33

I love you all!  And more importantly, God loves you. 

Onward, ever onward.

SO THY SUCCOR SHALL BE

Poutine with Cassidy

Not much happened this week, life is still good and the gospel is still the bomb diggity.  

I ate some poutine today (which i don't normally do because it's basically a heart attack waiting to happen) and that was good.  Cassidy from GP came and took us to costco for lunch. :)  It was a lot of fun!  

Sister Lefler & I!

We went on two exchanges this past week!  First with Sister Lefler who is such a hard worker!  It was a lot of fun.  We had a bunch of lessons set up and we were supposed to get some new investigators and then they all fell through....hahh.  such is life.  So we did lots of bus station contacting.  Gave away some Book of Mormons and it was super fun.  We actually talked to this girl, Rita, who we met about a week before, and she wants us to come to her christian school to talk to everyone.  She said she was going to talk to her pastor about it...we'll see if he lets us come.. :) 

We had this really powerful lesson with a member's daughter who is recovering from addictions and it was all about our divine nature as daughters of God and man...the spirit was so real.  God's tender mercies are the real deal.  

 

basically the rest of the week we visited members and did a TON of contacting.  We knocked doors, went to the bus station, store contacted (very sneakily of course) and basically anything we could think of.  We also helped almost everyone in our little cul-de-sac rake their yards!  It was so wonderful!  it was like a big neighborhood family bonding day. :) They're all from crazy places.  One from Ukraine, Russia, Kenya, and our landlord, Solo from Eritrea...Edmonton is the best.  So diverse :) 

We have these signs we made that say things like, "Jesus loves you!" and "we have a message that will change your life" and "we have a free Book of Mormon for you!".  When we're at stop lights we show them to people next to us and usually they just smile and don't look back at us, but this one guy was super happy!  We showed him them all and he gave us a thumbs up, then we showed him the Book of Mormon one and he flipped us off and drove away...hahahah. we still show them to people. 

 

 

 

Temple with the Sisters

this week will be filled with craziness!  We got to go to the temple this morning which was glorious, tomorrow we have a Sisters Conference that we're giving trainings at, MLC on Thursday.  it will be fun. :) Oh and some more exchanges, and guess where i'm going? DRAYTON VALLEY YAYYYY!!!  I'm stoked.  

Sister Williams!!️️

I also got to exchange with Sister Williams who has a heart of PURE GOLD.  She is amazing I just love her.  And she was a good sport when all our plans fell through and we tracted in the rain all day.  #rainorshine 

Sunday was DIVINE.  Saturday night, I won't lie, I was feeling a bit down and sorry for myself and I just felt like I couldn't do it anymore and I just wanted to be done!  I decided to fast, which always lifts my spirits, and Heavenly Father provided me with some real tender mercies.  First of all, we were in the hallway in between classes at church, and who comes around the corner but my favourite SISTER CURRY (from Drayton Valley) !!! She was in Edmonton and came to our ward!  My heart just rejoiced!  Then in sacrament meeting, we sang my all time favourite hymn #85 "How Firm a Foundation".  Usually it's the third verse that gets me, but this time, the second verse made my heart even happier!  

" In ev'ry condition--in sickness, in health,

In poverty's vale or abounding in wealth,

At home or abroad, on the land or the sea--

As thy days may demand, as thy days may demand,

As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be."

No matter how much is demanded of us, the Lord is there with us and his comfort and support is there for us each and every time.  Even though I am exhausted and the rejection is hard to face everyday, it's not too much.  God gives us what will stretch us, but will never let us break.  His purpose is our growth.  It is OUR ETERNAL LIFE he is wanting for us.  Nothing else.  Our well being is his only concern.  

 

"For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."

  Moses 1:39 

 

  3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 

John 17:3

God is good and the gospel is true.  Don't give up, my friends! 

Onward, ever onward.

Sister Mckeon wants to take cute pictures and I just do this... #creeper

5. 

Making everlasting and omnipotent

another week full of miracles and still no snow! 

The Dream Team

unfortunately, we still have no investigators.  But life is still good.  We taught a few lessons to potentials, but mostly just to muslims who wanted to convert us.  Muslims are some of the nicest people.  But they really do just want to convert us.  hahah.  

There was this one who was just trying to debate with us (he literally called our meeting a debate) and right when we got in there we felt we should leave, so we left within 15 minutes and just told him that's not why we were there.  ...... such a gong show.  But he gave us these cool hand made indian decorations...we're not sure what they mean but they look pretty cool. :)

 

We gave trainings at two ZTM's which was pretty fun!  One was on the Book of Mormon and the spirit just led that training like nobody's business.  It's the most fulfilling thing to feel the spirit work through you to help other people.  

In the middle of the other zone meeting we went to, this sikh man walked in and was trying to find whoever called a taxi!  Nobody called a taxi, but sister McKeon and I ran out after him to talk to him.  It was pretty cool, he said, "i know God sent me here today to meet you!" and we got his number so we can teach him. :) hopefully we can.

 

We had supper with a member, and she has a Japanese exchange student living with her named Kurumi!  It was her birthday, so we got to celebrate with her and her Chinese friends!  We tried to teach them all but their english is pretty limited...they are so precious though.  It was a lot of fun. 

 

ALSO we are starting to teach an english class as a finding tool this week!  It should be great. 

 

okay now for the SUPER AWESOME MIRACLES THAT JUST MADE MY HEART REJOICE:

 

so one night we were trying a potential (they weren't home...) and we got back in the car.  We looked up and saw these two teenage boys walking a little ways away from us, so we decided to drive over to talk to them!  We talked with them, and one of them is Jeffry!  I actually talked to him on a bus downtown at one point and gave him a Book of Mormon, then he told us he is GOING TO THE MORMON CHURCH WITH HIS FRIEND'S FAMILY!!!  He told us he isn't a Mormon, YET.  :) :) :) SUCH A MIRACLE.  I love it when Heavenly Father gives us glimpses of the fruits of the seeds we plant. 

 

okay miracle number two

 

last night it was almost 8 o'clock, and the lesson we had scheduled fell through.  We tried a few people and nothing seemed to be working.  As we were driving we saw this man walking.  I felt like we should stop and talk to him, but was so annoyed and frustrated with the way things had been going so I kept driving... but after about 5 seconds I was just like.....OKAY FINE and i pulled over. We went back to talk to him but couldn't see him. It was pretty dark. I felt a pretty hopeless. Out of frustration I just threw my hands up in the air and looked at the sky and said, "Heavenly Father I don't know what you want me to do! What on earth do we do??"  We got back in the car and decided to turn around to find him. We saw him sitting in the bus shelter so we went to talk to him. After telling him why we came to talk to him, he just said, "okay, so will you teach me?"  We were just like.....uh YES so we had to run back to the car to get a Book of Mormon. His name is Abel and he is from Ethiopia. He was just taking a break from work (door to door sales) so we went back and taught him about the restoration! The spirit was SO REAL there in that bus shelter. He said he had been having a really hard time and had been asking God for direction. And for a book. (Crazy right??) He felt pretty alone. When we talked about he apostasy, he said, "that's me right now! I don't have direction from God!" Then when we told him about the first vision...man it was just so real. We invited him to be baptized and he said yes!  He said that he knows we were messengers from God to help him and bring him what he needs.  He lives downtown and is YSA age so we will be passing him over to some other missionaries this week but man. words cannot describe the reality of our Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost! 

 

I feel like God will give us trials and struggles and we just have to trust him and work as hard as we can. Then when we have given all we have, and then some, he pours out his miracles that he has been wanting to give us!  We have to trust him and be faithful to the end.  Whether it's the end of the night or the end of our lives. In the words of someone much wiser than I, 

 

"What does  the word  “endure”  mean?  It  means  we  whiteknuckle  it,  “I'm  going  to  endure this”, right?  Wrong. The  Hebrew  word  means to  “make  everlasting  and  omnipotent”  to make  you  like  God. It is  a  sanctifying  process.  Enduring  to  the  end  is  one  of the  most  sanctifying  and exalting doctrines we have, and we think it's just “hanging in there”. "

 

The gospel is real, and it is an active thing. There is no sitting back and just holding on. We work, work, work, and work some more. And the grace of God gives us the strength to do so. 

 

"Wishing will not make it so. The Lord expects our thinking. He expects our action. He expects our labors. He expects our testimonies. He expects our devotion." Thomas S. Monson

God is good, my friends. 

Onward, ever onward.

Philippians 1:14 #nofear

Oh man what a week.  Still no snow in the wonderful land of Edmonton
(knock on wood).



SISTER MCKEON IS AN ANGEL SENT FROM HEAVEN  i love her. We're both
pretty crazy and bold in our finding approaches and it has been A
BLAST.  Kind of a gong show at times and we definitely have our share
of awkward moments but it has been so fun and we have seen so many
miracles.

I'll start with the bad news first though, Dawuta dropped us.  my
heart broke into like a million pieces but that's okay.  the work goes
on, hey?

now for the good stuff!

Sister Mckeon's first day here we had supper with the Madlung's who
are BOSS missionaries and they had their nonmember nephew over as
well.  We asked him if he had religious beliefs and after he answered,
brother Madlung just said, "well, would you like to hear what these
sisters have to say?  Would you like to learn?" and he said yes!!!  If
every member was as bold as brother madlung everyone would be baptized
by now!  We taught the restoration and the spirit was AMAZING!  The
first vision was just so powerful and he said he believes it is true!
We invited him to be baptized and he said he would pray about it. So
now this week we have to pass him over to the YSA missionaries.  It
was A MIRACLE!!

We have been crazy bold with people while talking with them and it's
so fun.  Except when they completely shut us down after pouring out
our souls to them...but then i just think of the scripture:
"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is
the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"  Psalms 27:1
really though.  WHOM SHALL WE FEAR WE HAVE CHRIST!

one day we parked the car to try a potential, then i saw this man in
the rear view mirror riding his bike.  He had a little girl with him
and they were just adorable.  We just knew we needed to talk to him
and so we jumped out of the car and ran a couple blocks after him to
talk to him.  He finally got to his house so we caught up to him and
we were so out of breath from running and laughing at ourselves at how
crazy we are...we just told him we really wanted to talk to him
because we have a message that will change his life and help his
family... and he wants us to come back!  We got his number and we're
hopefully teaching him this week!  His name is Tayven.  they're from
Uganda! :)  sometimes you just have to chase people down a couple
blocks ...THIS IS SALVATION!



We also had MLC which was fun and humbling once again.  I just love
president and sister manion, they're angels.

we had a lesson with our potential, Gary, and his girlfriend Vicki.
Gary is an alcoholic and Vicki is an angel who is trying to help him
get over his addiction.  We talked with them about the Addiction
Recovery Program that the church has and we hope to be working with
them more.  they're so amazing and I just love them so much!!!

We also got to go to the 50th anniversary party of this couple in the
ward and it was a GOLD MINE!  they invited all their neighbors
got to talk to them all and hopefully we can start teaching some of
them. :)



















Aaaaaand it was Canadian Thanksgiving which is the best mostly because
as missionaries we get Canadian AND American thanksgiving because
people feel bad for us.  :)   We went around town and to a bus station
and had people write things they're thankful for and actually got to
give away some copies of the Book of Mormon and teach people about
their loving Father in Heaven.  It was a lot of fun.  I'm so grateful
for this gospel and for MY family and the fact that we get to be
together forever.

well life is good and we have decided that we WILL FIND A FAMILY TO BE
TOGETHER FOREVER so that would be a good thing to pray for.

I love this gospel and i know that it's true.
I love these people.
I love turkey and mashed potatoes.
I love the Lord.

Onward, ever onward.

love,
Sister Jones
