The Prophet was in town...

Bonjour!

Well, what a great battle week!! That is what Sister Nelson, the Prophet’s wife, told us to write at the beginning of our journal every day. Yes you heard that correctly, President Nelson and his wife Wendy, along with Elder and Sister Rasband, were in Alberta for 3 days, visiting Sister Nelson's family! Their first stop was Edmonton, then Calgary and finish in Raymond. More on this in a minute.

Transfers were Wednesday, and yes I moved! President is enjoying playing hot potato with me haha I'm staying in the city, going North.

TRANSFERS! Saying good bye to Sister Cook, Sister Morgado & Sister Machado

I'll be in the Kingsway YSA finishing Sister Mitchell last 6 weeks of her 12 week training! We have had a blast in the short timeframe we have been together!

Some cool / interesting things which have happened are:

-We took two selfies with these guys we met lake contacting. 

One of them is a professional photographer and asked us to model. He took these beautiful pictures!

Modelling pictures!

-We have had two awkward conversations through text, while trying to set up times to meet.

-We had many people willing to set appointments up with us to meet this past week, this week or next! So exciting!

-I met Violet! She recently got baptised and is awesome! She always asks us if she can ask us some questions which are great questions.

-I met Degoli! He is getting ready to be baptised here in a couple weeks! He loves soccer and hanging out with the other Young Adults.

-I met the awesome YSA members of our Ward (though we are small enough to be a Branch). Including the fun Bishopric who call the YSA big girls and stupid boys haha

It has also been crazy windy in the last couple days which is a little scary...

Blowing away

So on to Friday June 8th, 2018 at 7pm. We had a regional broadcast and the Nelsons and Rasbands spoke to us it was so cool! They talked a lot about the gathering of Israel, how the Prophet is receiving revelation constantly, ministering, and lots of other good stuff for 2 hours! I was a little disappointed that they didn't meet with the missionaries, however President Pattison attended our Sacrament meeting Sunday (his daughter gave her farewell talk as she is leaving today for Gilbert Arizona on a mission!!), and was asked to give a few words. He shared how as President Nelson was shaking the hand of the man that would be conducting the meeting, he read his lips which asked “Where is the Mission President?”. There was an overwhelming Spirit that washed over me. It was a tender mercy to know that, although busy visiting his wife's family, he took the time to walk over and shake President Pattison's hand, who represents me, and all the other missionaries in this great Canada Edmonton Mission!

I know without a doubt that President Russell M. Nelson is the Prophet Heavenly Father has called for this period of time. I know he is doing the Lord's work

Lots of love!
