December 5, 2016 Many are Called, but Few Are Frozen ❄️☃️

Hello friends,

So, we had transfer calls today, and I'm sad to say that Sister

McSweeney is leaving me. 😟

AND. I am staying two more transfers in Rainbow Valley YSA to train.

Holy. Literally I have never been so nervous/excited before in my life!

Oh my goodness. This week has been AMAZING.

Also, it's -28° C. Yay. 🤗🙃😐

So funny story, when I first came out on my mission, almost all of our

investigators were Asian. I don't know why, but they all were. Now,

most of our investigators are GINGER. I am going to miss sister

McSweeney saying "I LOVE GINGERS." Everytime we get out of an

appointment with one of them.

So, this week we accidentally set up a meeting with some Jehovah

Witnesses. And one of them said to both of us, "See my buddy Bill here

has been around for a while. And you two are pretty young, late

twenties, early thirties."

I was about to say, "BOI. I AM 19 YEARS OLD. I AM NOT 30."

Literally, I said to Sister McSweeney after, "Do we really look that old?"

It was hilarious.

But, I really hope I don't look that old. Oh my goodness.

Also, this week I had the opportunity to speak at Michelle's baptism.

Literally. I was so happy. Seeing someone that I found being baptized

was so great.

She bore her testimony at the end of the baptism & she said

(paraphrasing), "In total, I have been taught by 7 missionaries over a

period of 4 months... I knew my that my Heavenly Father loved me

before the missionaries taught me because I prayed one night that my

mom would start getting better, and she did."

Oh my goodness, I love that girl with all my heart.

We also started doing sister requests for the elders in Rutherford.

So, we are teaching this lady, Giselle, and SHE HAS THE CUTEST BABY. I

LOVE BABIES. Holly came with us; she is amazing. At the end of the

lesson her baby started saying, "Mormon" and sister McSweeney was

like, "GET IN MATE." It was also quite funny.

Oh yeah, last Wednesday Carol & Justin fed us dinner. So we are

walking to our car, and we see these hug looking dog creature things.

Oh my goodness, they were wolves. All I could think was, we are in

Canada aren't we.

I love you all so much. You keep on being you. Thanks for being so great.

I am so thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the happiness it

brings me. I know that Christ loves and cares about us. Heavenly

Father does listen to every prayer. I love being a missionary, and I

love you.
