Happy Family Day!! That is a holiday here in Canada. The kids get the whole week off school for it! This week was another good week!! It is super funny, everyone asks me and Sister Gatten if we are sisters.. Like actual sisters. We must look alike! The only thing is the height different. She is quite a bit taller than me, but that's not too hard! We have a member in our ward whose daughter turned 6 this week. All she wanted for her birthday was for the missionaries to come over. That was super cute!! We were street contacting one day and met a guy that went to USU and had friends who were mormon so he went to church for 2 years while he was there. The only bummer was that he is actually living in Saskatoon so hopefully missionaries there will teach him!! We met a family from Syria while tracting this week. They were super nice and asked for an Arabic book of mormon! Hopefully we can teach them. They are muslim so it will be hard but they were very nice! Kendall came to church this week! She only stayed for sacrament but we were very happy that she came! It was a miracle. Although she told us that she got offered a job in AZ this past week and is going to take it so she will probably be moving there in march.. We were super sad about that. Not sure what will happen. Her daughter still has to finish school here so maybe she will travel back and forth for 6 months and we can still teach her but we will see what happens. Sometimes it is frustrating because we know that there is a reason that everything happens but you just wish it could happen your way. We just have to trust in God's plan!!
I have been reading in 1 Nephi the past month and I have loved it so much! That family is awesome! I read the story about Nephi getting tied up by his brothers. In 7:17 it talks about how according to his faith he asked for the strength to burst the bands himself. We can ask for strength to face our trials and draw on the Atonement of Jesus Christ rather than asking for Heavenly Father to take about our trials. He knows what is best for us and what we need in order to grow. I know we are never alone. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have of the gospel!! Love you all!!
