Hello family and friends! What an amazing week it was here in Canada!!
Hello family and friends! What an amazing week it was here in Canada!!
So Tuesday was New Years and like I said last week we did a mission wide Book of Mormon power read! I started and finished the whole Book of Mormon in one day!! I think I read for a total of 14 1/2 hours. But surprisingly I never really got sick of it! Probably because I was reading the Book of Mormon so God blessed me:) What an amazing experience that was!
We also had a crazy experience where we were so grateful for the gift of the Holy Ghost to warn and protect us from danger. I will have to tell you about it in person!
We saw a lot of miracles and were able to find two new people to teach this week! We were praying so hard that we could find 2 people, set one new baptismal date and have one person at sacrament and the Lord answered our prayers! We saw so many miracles and it was so amazing!!
Plus Ana is doing so well and still on date to be baptized on Feb 2. She came to church this week and loved it! We were so grateful for that as well. She is so amazing and truly becoming converted to the gospel. All thanks to the power of the Book of Mormon! We are really sad though because we found out today that they are closing this area for sisters. There are 6 sisters going home this week and only 1 sister coming out so they had to close several areas. It is really sad but we are hoping and praying that she will still progress well with the elders.
What an amazing year and a half this has been. I am beyond grateful for the decision I made to come on a mission. It has been the greatest experience and I know that I will treasure it for the rest of my life. I am so grateful for all the people that I have met here. They have all truly touched my heart and changed my life! I am grateful for all of you and for the support you have given me and prayers you have said for me and the people I have taught. I could not have done it if it weren't for such supportive people back home!
I am so grateful for this gospel. It has truly changed my life. I know that it is true with all my heart and I know that this is the Lord's work. I am so grateful I have had the amazing opportunity to be a missionary for Him and His church. I know that He leads and guides this church and that He works through our beloved prophet President Nelson. I am grateful for modern revelation!! I know that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is real. I have felt so many times the strengthening and enabling power as well as the cleansing and healing power it has. I am grateful for our Savior and for all that He sacrificed on our behalf. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who knows us perfectly and has a plan for us. I am grateful for the Book of Mormon and for the knowledge that it gives us. Especially the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation. I do not know where I would be without that amazing book. I am grateful that the gospel was restored through the prophet Joseph Smith and for the many sacrifices him and the early saints made so that we could have all that we have today. I know that this is all true!! I LOVE my Savior and His gospel more than anything else in the world! The past year and half went by way too quickly, it feels like a dream, but I wouldn't trade any of it for anything! I am so sad to leave Canada and all the amazing people and experiences but I am so excited to see all of you!! I could probably go on forever but I will end it there:)
