Shoulder to Shoulder with Christ

Hello to all!! 

This week has gone by so quickly! I had an amazing time at the Technology Training, Zone Conference, and the Trainer Trainee Meeting, and learned many, many, many things!

For those who have not noticed yet, I am now on Facebook. However, Facebook is a tool that the Lord has allowed in our Mission (the first Mission in Canada to have it) to bring others unto Christ. I would ask that you keep emailing me, as I will not be spending my time on it to communicate home. Please do not send me a friend request either as I will not be accepting them while on my mission. 

We have already seen the blessings of using the new technology we have been given. We went bus contacting for the firs time Friday after getting home from our training, and were able to talk to a couple of younger people who we are able to communicate to through FB. We also met a lady Saturday morning, and have been communicating to her through messenger daily! We hopefully will have our smart phone set up today, and will be able to receive even more blessings as we are led by the Lord with how to use the technology He has provided our Mission with.

I loved the training and meetings we had this past week. I also enjoyed going to the Temple with all the other new missionaries, and their trainers! We took a bunch of new pictures! I was able to learn lots with the overall experience. I particularly liked what Sister G said about us being shoulder to shoulder with Christ. I have been able to ponder her statement and how I may become more consecrated to the Lord's work. I was able to write down some ways I feel will help me most. As I've worked on them more and more the past two days, I have been able to see more of the tender mercies Heavenly Father has blessed me with.

I know that "... the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith..." (1 Nephi 1:20). I know that because I have been called to serve, the Lord will bless me according to my faith and my actions. 

Lots of love!
