Family!
Canada is amazing! its a lot different than home, too many
buildings not enough farmland. hardly anyone lives in a house or at
least i havent been in many homes just apartments. my companion is truly
amazing, shes not mean and she does a very good job on pushing me to
talk to people and because of that we had two investigators the second
day i was here! and now we have four and three potential investigators.
so one of the most amazing experiences i have had was when we stopped
this young girl only a year older than i. we shared a basic principal
with her and you could see how strong she was in her baptist faith but
also i could tell how much she hungered to know of what we were
testifying of, by the time we were about to say good bye she asked if
she could pray with us, right there on the sidewalk! ha it was amazing!!
we went back to teach her this week but it didn't go so well, we will see
how it goes next time. There is another investigator named brendan and
we ran into him because one of the less active members we went to visit
weren't home, and you could tell the lord had prepared him for us, he
wanted to know the purpose of life and he knew that there was some kind
of god or something watching over us. we made a return appointment and
met with him. it went well he shared the Restoration lesson and he took
it well asked lots of questions and we left him a book of mormon to read
so we well see how he feels this Wednesday
when we go see him. i am so excited for him i cant explain it. then we
went to meet with this guy named jamaal we had never met him before so
we got to know him and taught him the restoration as well, he has been
baptized twice before so that might be a concern, but he seemed very
interested and when we bore our testimonies you could see him paying very
close attention we asked him to read the intro page and a verse we left
with him and then as we were about to say a prayer and leave i felt
impressed to ask him to church so i did and he came! when i saw him
there i cant explain the happiness i felt! The lords work is so amazing,
its hard and i have needed so much help from the scriptures but the
lord does help and that's the beauty of it. i love reading my scriptures
every time i learn something new! i have started reading again but this
time while i read i will focus on the Restoration and so far i have
learned so much from the 8-15th chapter in nephi ion the Restoration
of the gospel. i've read i t before but its never stood out to me like
it has now. I'm hoping to do this with more than one topic. to re read
the Book of Mormon multiple times but each time with a different topic
in mind. i Love all of you and am so grateful for all of your support,
each time i go to my desk i see our family picture and think of everyone
of you and how grateful i am to be a part of each of your lives for
forever.
