Hello! Bonjour!
It was a real exciting week here in the Canada Edmonton Mission! We had English class again last Tuesday
and then Chuan had her baptism interview. Thursday we had our in-person District Council which was super fun as we were celebrating Sister Herzog's Birthday!!
We also had a Zone video call to talk about the training we received at Mission Tour- haha so fun!

Now for the REALLY exciting news! We had 7 children of God enter the waters of baptism all over the CEM Saturday and one more this coming Wednesday. What we love to say out here in the Mission is that "When One Baptizes , WE ALL BAPTIZE!!!" What was so much more awesome is that one of those baptisms was Chuan's!!
She has been taught off and on for 2 years now. The Sisters here in Grande Prairie back in April started teaching her again and from that time on she has been developing in faith and repentance so she could be baptized and receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost!
What a sweet and very tender moment when Terry, Chuan's father-in-law, after the baptism service told us that the night before being baptized, in English which is difficult to express clearly, she in essence gave her testimony to her daughter, husband, and parents (who had driven up from Southern Alberta for the special occasion). Terry expressed to us that he was very happy and choked up which made us all cry as he told us about the night prior. What an indescribable joy it was to see another sheep come into the fold.
Monday night we met with Chuan and her husband Dean for a lesson. We talked about Temples and then did a fun activity of drawing Temples!
I know how important Temples are in this work. I love that because of the blessings received in the Temples I can be with my family forever after this life. Heavenly Father loves us and hasn't just given us this short time on Earth to live nor did He intend to have the line "till death do you part", but He is giving us Eternity to be with our families! That's why I'm serving a mission to help people like Chuan and Dean become an Eternal family.
