December 12, 2017 🎵 the streets are filled with Christmas Cheer 🎵

Hey y’all. 

It’s been a few weeks hasn’t it?

Well, it’s now December and that means CHRISTMAS IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. I love Christmas time.

With the new #LIGHTtheWORLD initiative, I hope that all of you are truly feeling the spirit of Christ in your lives. Today is “blessed are those that mourn.”

It brings me back to a time when my family was going through a really difficult time. We were all at my grandpa’s home just trying to cope with all of the chaos of the world. My friend, Lexi Call, just brought me a present of a little willow tree figurine; basically just to tell me that she was thinking about me... Well, I don’t know is Lex reads my emails, but I have never forgotten that little act of kindness that she did for me. I have that figurine still sitting on a shelf in my room back home. It is one of the things that I have always treasured for my whole life. 

Well, in the past few weeks we have gone on two exchanges with the Red Deer 3rd sisters and the Camrose sisters. 

I got to go with Sister Toone and Sister Bowie, both of them are visa waiting to go to the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴. Sister Bowie and I just clicked. She is from Lethbridge and knows a lot of the people that I know from my first area. She also loves art (same) and played basketball (same). She is such a awesome missionary. 

I got some surprises while I was in Camrose. I got to see two of my favourite members ever. I was seriously so thankful for that. I loved it.

Well, I hope you all have had a great last few weeks. See you in 3!! 🤩

We also went curling last week. 🥌🥌🥌

November, 28, 2017 "You are going to get married if you haven't watched Korean Drama?" S. Tsou

Hey franns,

It’s me. Your girl. Sister Fish.

This week was full of great and wonderful things.

Saturday we got to help out at a Chinese wedding. Sister Fernandez speaks Tagalog, Sister Tsou speaks Mandarin, annnnnnd then there’s me. 🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️🧜🏻‍♀️ I just try to say things in Mandarin and I guess I was not made for the Mandarin Chinese language... haha

The wedding was great! The Bride and Groom’s first dance was probably my favourite part.... HA! They were awesome! 

Sister Tsou looks over at me and says, “Sister. How are you going to get married if you haven’t watched Korean Drama!?!”  I guess it will teach me everything I need to know. 

We also met this guy named Tim last week... Tim is baptist... Tim also tried to set all three of us up on dates with his sons. . . . . That, my friends, was so awkward. Tim knows so much about Mormons too. Hahah, so any of you that have served missions knows what that’s all about. 👋🏼👋🏼

This week I have been praying for God’s will to be done over my will. This week has also been one f the most flakey weeks of my mission. All of our supper appointments cancelled. Almost 2/3 of our lessons fell through. It feels like everything is up in the air and I’m looking up at everything waiting for it to fall down. However, I have learned this week that God intends me do more than I think is possible. God expects all of us to defy the odds. 

I am so grateful that God doesn’t cut us short of anything we aren’t capable of.

November 21, 2017 Dating advise from a General Authority

This week was wonderful.

We had mission tour with Elder Schwitzer of the 70. We had mlc with him as well.  The spirit spoke to myself so strongly as I just thought about my mission. Growth comes so slowly, but when you look back from where you came from you realize how much growth you have actually made..

On Monday, I also had the chance to be interviewed by Elder Schwitzer... At first I was really nervous, but as soon as I found out he was born in Ogden... I calmed down at little bit. He asked me a few questions, but then he gave me the best advise ever...

Dating advise. 

He said, “you go home soon. You’re probably going to be dating quickly after you get home.. (lol, Pysch).” 

He said, “this is what I call the JEFF principle.

J: judgement. Always use righteous judgement. Examine how he treats others before you go on a date.

E: Evaluate. Evaluate the creativity of your dates or is he just taking you out to eat and then watching a movie and hanging out? If he isn’t creative in your dates, he probably won’t be creative in the gospel.” 

F: feelings. This one is simple. You have to be attracted to the person. 

F: Faith. If all three of those are in line. Have faith. Faith is important when it comes to dating. Always show faith in everything you do.”

That was a little shocking to me, I’m still in missionary mind. 

Mission Tour was wonderful. Elder Schwitzer showed us so many different things. I was able to learn so much from him and by led by the spirit.

We also went on exchanges this week. My first exchange as a Sister training leader was a gong show, but it was very good gong show. I went with Sister Beauchat. She is awesome.

Well, everyone. I know that Heavenly Father loves each of you. 

That’s all I’ve got for this week.

November 13, 2017 Love y'all

Hey Family!

It’s me! 

I know, I totally forgot to tell y’all last week that my pday is on Monday this week. We are hearing from Elder Swietzer of the seventy tomorrow, so we changed pday to today.

I am in a new area called Griechbach. It’s pronounced grease Bach... I think... I don’t know if anyone really knows how to pronounce it.

I have two new lovelllyyyy companions. Sister Fernandez from Toronto, Ontario. My home girl knows my good ol’ buddy Dalton Kohl. :’)

My other wonderful friend is Sister Tsou (like, so). She is from Taiwan, and she is awesoommeeeeee!!

This week has kinda been a gong show. Actually, it’s been a complete gong show. We have been teaching lesson after lesson after lesson. I have taught more investigator lessons the last few days than I did in the last 6 weeks.  

This week was also Remembrance Day. We got to go to the park and watch a service done by the military. It was pretty cool.  

So adventure time for the week. 🔥🔥🔥 <<< literally 

So, we went to a baptism with the Namao elders, and we were in a big hurry after lunch... so we went to the baptism and we went home because our appointment cancelled and we need to get things done....

This is where it gets crazy. 

Well, I get outside and I am like “who is grilling? They are BURNIN their burgers.”

we get to the doors and I hear a faint, “beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep.” 

I opened the door to our apartment and smoke just comes plummeting out. Oh my goodness. Our house almost caught on fire!!!!!!!!! One of us was boiling and eggs in the rush of things, we all left without turning off the stove!!!! 

Well, let me just tell you. I am so thankful that investigator cancelled his lesson. If not, we would have probably burned the house down. I can echo the words of Nephi when he said, “behold I will show unto that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all whom he hath chosen.” 

I am thankful that Heavenly Father gives us spiritual promptings and that he shows his love in so many different ways. 

I hope you all have a wonderful week and don’t forget that I love you.

November 7, 2017 Last transfer...

😢😢😢😢Hey Fam!

Well, it’s been a fast 6 weeks in Sherwood Park, and I am sad to say I am leaving...  I will tell you all about it next week. 😜😜😜

This week was probably one of the most rewarding weeks of my mission. 

We had a lesson with our investigator Jim... I am so sad to be leaving Jim.  Jim hasn’t prayed in 7 years. His wife passed away and he is just mad at God. 

Well, HE PRAYED. JIM PRAYED. I don’t know why that was so special to me, but it was. 

I have been studying the Book of Mormon this week and holy moly. I love it. I love the teachings that it teaches. It teaches us about the Saviour. I am so grateful to know that. I love this gospel so much.

October 31, 2017 This is... Heckaween or Christmas

Yes, it is snowing... but not just snowing, it is really SNOWING. 

BIG OL’ SNOWFLAKES 

BUT IT IS SO PRETTY. ITS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TIME OF THE YEAR, LIGHTS FILL THE STREETS WITH SO MUCH CHEER... 

This week was actually so great. 

We went to Tofield and Vegreville and Mundare and Chipman. 

LET ME TELL YOU. I LOVE TOFIELD. TOFIELD IS AWESOME. WE LOVE TOFIELD. TOFIELD SHOULD BE ITS OWN AREA BECAUSE ITS AWESOME. 

Seriously, Tofield is the best. 

The members there are awesome. 

I met my long lost family, the fishers. And they are awesome. Sister Fisher is like my best friend. So we were going to do some stuff at the church, and we always just park like weirdos so we don’t have to back each other, then Sister Fisher walks in and says “you are going to love how I parked.” Well, Sister fisher parked right in front of our car so even though we usually wouldn’t have to back, we did. 

I was like, “okay, I see you sista fish.” It was also fun to just say my name without it my being me.

We had supper with the fishers the first night in Tofield, and their daughters were like “you are my long lost sister. I just know it.”

They are my favvvvssss.

I seriously loved everything about Tofield. It’s the best. 

This week I have been studying a lot about forgiveness and true Christ like love. 

There was an amazing talk about forgiveness by President Uchtdorf.

In his talk he says, “Remember, heaven is filled with those who have this in common: They are forgiven. And they forgive.”  

I couldn’t help but to think of all of those who I have either hurt or been hurt by, I must forgive and be forgiven by these people. 

Heaven will be full of those who are merciful, I think that is so amazing. To think about everyone being able to be forgiven. That is awesome to me. :)
