#Light the World

Bonjour!!!


We keep on getting snow, which is putting us in the Christmas spirit. We also were given a tree by one of our members!! So we will be decorating it later on! 

 Making Mexican chicken tacos!

We spent part of our Preparation day last week at a member's house and we made chicken tacos! They were very yummy and very Mexican haha ☺

Moi making an ornament craft

We went to a Christmas tree lighting in the park the other evening, and they also had fireworks! What a great way to start off the holiday season–with colourful fireworks! They were serving hot chocolate, hot dogs and gave out these goody bags that had crafts in them so once we got home we both got crafting. 

What an exciting time to be a missionary!! The Church is doing the #Light the World campaign again this year!!! I am so excited!!!!!! 

It is such a great way to reach out and serve others the way that Christ taught us in the Bible. If you go to mormon.org you can print off an advent calendar and watch the videos that go with each day! Please let me know how you #light the world this Christmas season! 

Best wishes, and lots of love!

Our Message as Missionaries

Bonjour!

We got food at A&W...
since when does an egg sandwich come in a hamburger bun?!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! We have had lots of cold days. Hats, kids, scarves, and layers! Lots of layers! 

We were able to visit Audrey again this week. She is progressing really well! In a text conversation we were having she told us that the answer she was getting to her prayers to the specific questions we asked her to pray about was that it's all true...!!!!!!! Awesome! And then, after we asked her what a next step could be she said to be baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME x infinity!!!!!! We are so excited that she is accepting the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I know a lot of members say "I don't know where I'd be without the gospel in my life". I would have to say there would be a lot different in my life.

I am so grateful for the blessing that the restored gospel of Jesus Christ brings to my life. I  know that Joseph Smith was a chosen prophet from God and through him, God brought forth the Book of Mormon as Another Testament of Jesus Christ. Through the Book of Mormon we are able to become closer to our Saviour and Redeemer. We know that Christ's church has been restored in these last days and that we have prophets today. 

I invite all of you to further your knowledge of Christ and learn about the message missionaries like me share about the restoration. I know it brings peace and comfort to the soul. 

Lots of love!

Peace in Repentance

Bonjour!

Our week started quiet and turned out super busy! 

We were able to teach our friend, A, out in Berwyn over the phone. It was so awesome because when we asked her about the pamphlet and the Book of Mormon we had dropped off, she said she had read the pamphlet and had started the Book of Mormon! We hadn't introduced it yet to her so that was awesome!! She keeps telling us that we are good teachers and she always feels good when we talk to her or visit her. We keep testifying that the message we share is true and that she can have that lasting good feeling of peace as she continues on this path that will bring her closer to Jesus Christ.

Saturday was Remembrance Day. What a blessing it is to live in this beautiful country where we can enjoy peace and freedom. The ceremony we attended had some Air Cadets, Rangers, Sheriffs and Royal Canadian Mounted Police! It was so powerful to have them march in. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to share the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ with others in Canada.

Sunday we picked up the Valleyview Sisters on our way to Edmonton for our Mission Tour/Zone Conference Monday!! Yesterday was amazing!!! 

We had Elder Schwitzer, an Area Seventy, who has been in the missionary department as a medical adviser, come give us training with his wife. 

We started off by a Sisters' Meeting with Sister Schwitzer and Sister Pattison. It was awesome because we talked about Spiritual Gifts! Then Elder Schwitzer and President Pattison arrived. Elder Schwitzer told us that he is the one who suggested to the Twelve Apostles and the First Presidency that Sister Missionaries wear pants in the countries with infected mosquitoes. He shared that when this idea was presented to the First Presidency, President Monson said "We should do everything to protect our Sisters". SOOOOO POWERFUL! These men are truly inspired! 

Elder Schwitzer's training later to us Elders and Sisters had to do with helping others understand repentance and how to support them on the path to eternal life. 

I want to testify that I know that as we turn to Christ's Atonement HE WILL CARRY US through. He suffered what we have gone, are going, and will go through. He allows us to turn to Him for peace as we come to Him with a broken heart and contrite Spirit. I love this gospel, and I love my Saviour Jesus Christ. 

Lots of love,

Conversion & Frogs

Bonjour!


I hope everyone had a good Halloween! We had the chance to carve another pumpkin at a member's house! So we both carved it and made it abstract!


The snow has arrived to stay! We have to bundle up every day now. 7 weeks until Christmas!!!!!!

We had the chance to teach the Young Women class Sunday. They are sweet girls. We talked about conversion. Conversion is an ongoing process that we need to constantly work at to continue to grow and develop, otherwise we will not progress. We used a frog cycle to demonstrate this. And it doesn't end once you are a full grown frog! Nope, we told the girls that it continues, you simply get to do it with your children and grandchildren, and it never ends! 

This transfer I'm going to deepen my conversion in the Gospel of Jesus Christ by taking more time to study the Book of Mormon and to review the General Conference talks. I invite everyone to join me and to share with me what you are learning as you continue to deepen your conversion in our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Have a great week! 

Lots of love!
