Hello Friends!I love you all!This week has been a pretty regular week in the life of Sister Lexie Rex Fisher.We have some fun stories though!Backstory: there is this group of 5 elders that all live together andcall themselves "The Park" they are also all involved in the choir insomeway shape or form. "The Park" consists of Elder Chadwick, ElderUstach, Elder Stevens, Elder Yu, and Elder Nethercott. They are alsosome of my favourite people I have met on my mission.So last week, we are coming home from the concert and we left at thesame time as "The Park" did. On the way home, we are driving next tothem basically the whole way back to our apartment. They were doingall these stupid things when we would pull up next to them atstoplights and it was hilarious.Anyway, we get on Whitemud (the freeway that only goes 50 mph). Andthey are doing all these dumb things that elders like to do, then theyget off the exit. We waved goodbye and kept on driving to get home.THIS IS THE BEST PART.so I'm talking to sister Waite saying, "Man. I just want to be friendswith them when I get ba- WHAT THE HECK?!?!!"I looked over and Elder Stevens face is out the window right next toour car!!!!It was THE funniest thing that has ever happened to me. Turns out thatthey took the wrong exit, and then caught up to us to say goodbye.Lol. It was hilarious.Also, now everytime the choir does anything, I go on splits withSister DeCoursey from Logan, Utah. Sister Decoursey and I have hadquite grand times together. We went tracting to the biggest houses inEdmonton. (Literally, they are gigantic.) mostly everyone said no, butthen we heard fireworks! It was on Sunday, and it was so fun! SoSister Decoursey and I got to watch a firework show while looking atsome of the most beautiful homes in Edmonton!Not much else has happened this week, but my testimony of the Saviourhas been strengthened so much. I love him. Jesus Christ is our elderbrother. He loves us. He wants us to return to live with him again.Just as the scriptures say, he descended below all, so that he couldlift us up. I know that Jesus Christ lives. He suffered in the Garden,so we to shall live again. We can be made clean through his atonement.Anyway, I love you all.Sister Lexie Rex Fisher305-8925 51 Ave. NWEdmonton, Alberta T6E 5J3Pics:1. Sister DeCoursey and I2. 7 months3.

Hello my beautiful friends,I love you all!!This week, the His Hands firesides have officially started!!!!They are AWESOME!!!!Last concert, we have 122 people show up!!!! Pretty exciting, eh?I met an lady named, Jeebs, at this concert. I decided I want to belike Jeebs when I grow old. She steps on my foot on accident and thenturns around and says, "OH MY DEAR, I AM SO SORRY." Then proceeds totell me how she is a professional clown, and starts juggling somehacky sacks. Then looks at my name tag, and says, "SISTER FISHER. LIKEFISHER.... OF MEN..." and gives me this cheeky eyebrow through herYellow-rimmed glasses.Then she points out the letters in my name,"Friend to everyone.""Impossible.""Someone you can trust.""Hippie Hoppy"."Excellent.""Ready to Go."I like Jeebs. She is pretty awesome.The His Hands Firesides are so beautiful though. I am so happy that Iget to be apart of the club without actually being in the club. I amso happy Sister Waite has a beautiful voice.I was just sitting there listening to them sing, and the spirit hit mejust like a ton of bricks. The Savior loves me. The Saviour sufferedand died for each one of us, he loves us. He wants us to return livewith him and our Heavenly Father. Don't ever forget that okay?We also met with my girl, Holly, this week. She is getting married 4days before I get home. It's okay, I'm just a little bit sad about it.FOUR DAYS. oh, I love that girl way too much for my heart to handle.We got Tia (our investigator) on date! She is awesome! We just askedher, "Tia, do you think becoming a member of the Church of JesusChrist of Latter-Day Saints could benefit you?" And she said, "Yes, itwould." UNSAHHHH. (Only sis. Waite will get that joke)Well, that's about it for this week!!!I love you all!!!!Sister Fish 🐟🐡
Hello,It's been a regular week.Nothing too exciting has happened this week, however, the musicalfiresides DO start tonight. They were all practicing the songsyesterday, and I just cried. The spirit was so strong, I wish youcould all be here to listen to them sing. They are so good.I'm literally so excited to be somewhat apart of this.We have a semi-new investigator named Kiera. She is so cute! We had asuper spiritual lesson with her on Friday night, holy it was awesome.I realize that I begin my letters by saying that the week wasn't veryeventful, but then I remember that so much has happened!We had mission tour this week, Elder & Sister Echohawk came to speak!It was so powerful and awesome!Also, as many of you know there were changes to the missionaryschedule, pretty cool, eh?Anyway, I don't have a whole lot of time, but I just want to sharesomething that Sister Waite and I experienced this week, so we aredriving home on Sunday. You know, just turning right to head home anda plastic bag rolls out into the street. Just at that exact moment, wehit a bump and sister Waite screams "AHHHHH, WHY DID THAT BUNNY JUSTCOMMIT SUICIDE?!!!" We literally were on the verge of wettingourselves.The next day, we were driving to meet the Belmead sisters, and I see aplastic bag hanging from a tree and say, "There is an epidemic ofbunny suicides in the city of Edmonton."Then, we laughed. I love sister Waite so much.Well, I love you all.If you would like to right me my address is below.....Sister Lexie Rex Fisher305-8925 51 Ave. NWEdmonton, Alberta T6E 5J3CanadaPics:1. Sister Waite & I at mission tour2. How much I really just love dogs.
Thanks for all the support that you all give me!It's been a fun & crazy week in the life of sister Fish!Actually, it's been pretty casual. Life is so weird as missionary.Ha, there is really not a lot to talk about this week! We hadtransfers last week, and I AM STILL IN THE VALLEY OF RAINBOWS!!!I think I am going to have major separation issues when I leaveRainbow. I have come to really love each and every person in our ward,and all the people that I meet every single day.I really don't have a lot to say this week, but we have been great!The "His Hands" fireside starts next week, and we are pretty stokedabout it. I enjoy seeing the work that I do all over Edmonton (aka inthe church buildings).I mean, the story of the title is from yesterday. We were in a supperwith one of my favourite households in the ward, and he says"Sister.... Waite? Sister Wai Wai will you say the prayer." Hana, thenhe sings the tune of the "watch me Whip, Whip" some and says "SisterFish & Sister Wai Wai"Things got out of hand so quickly.Well, that is about as exciting as it gets for this week!Just kidding, something really exciting actually did happen thisweek!!!!!!! We haven't been able to meet with our investigator, Tia,in a very long while... THEN, on Saturday night... We get a text fromher that reads, "I am so sorry I forgot about the meeting last week,but can I come to church this week?"I felt like the Elders in the best two years when elder Calhoon saysin his prayer, "and please bless that man will call-" then the phonerings, and he says, "it's him." Then it just starts playing,"Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel.Okay, but listen... She walks in to sacrament late, and the talks areliterally in the Word of Wisdom (she smokes a joint every time we havemet with her) and self-reliance. The whole time I was thinking, "oh mygoodness. What. Is. Happening."THEN IN RELIEF SOCIÉTÉ, THEN STARTED TALKING ABOUT KOLOB. I WAS LIKE,PLEASE STOP.Despite my fears, she absolutely loved church. It was awesome.I love you all and I love the opportunity that I have to bring peoplecloser to Christ.Lots of love,Sister Lex Rex FisherPics:1. This is how much she loves me2&3. The posters that I made. (I am going to sign the back of them, I promise)4. Sister Wai Wai & I
I love you all!It's 5° & i am so happy about it, not even wearing my parka. 😎🤘Sister Waite literally was like, "Why is so hot outside? When did mymission get changed to Florida?"Thank you for all the emails and letters! I really love and appreciate them!This week has been good!Not much has happened, however we have taught some powerful lessons!Sister Waite is a fetching baller.I have had so many fun and exciting experiences with her, that girl is awesome!!Anyway, we taught our investigator, Josh, and we were originally goinginto teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Then the spirit was like,"okay, don't do that. Just ask him about his concerns." Then we didthat, and we just basically testified the entire time. Audrey Tetucame with us, and she was a huge support system to josh.He spirit was so strong! It so cool!So Jordan Reid is like the coolest person on this planet. We weretalking about the Plan of Happiness with him and he was just tellingus about his mom WHO IS GOING TO COME TO CHURCH WITH HIM SOMETIMESOON. Holy, I about died when he told me that.His favourite movie is "The Sandlot" and I told him I know exactlywhere it filmed and he just about died. He was like, "Well I am comingto visit you so you can take me there." He is just so cool. I hopethat I am besties with them forever.Oh for this traveling missionary choir, I made posters and pass alongcards. I just want to show you because I worked really hard on them!I just want to tell you that I am so grateful for each one of you! Ilove you all and hope you all have a wonderful week!Sister Lexie Rex Fisher305-8925 51 Ave. NWEdmonton, Alberta T6E 5J3CanadaPics:1. When it's 2° in Canada and feels like summer2. 6 months!3.

Hello my beautiful people.What a wonderful week up here in the great white north!It's very cold! Like, -31° F cold.It's okay though, I'm alive, even though my boogers are frozen.I got really sick the last couple days, lost my voice, couldn't hearanything, sounded like a boi. It's okay.Life happens.Life is so good.Louis Liu was baptized on Saturday!Elder Nethercott confirmed him on Sunday! Louis came into GospelPrinciples just beaming. He said, "Sisters, I felt the spirit sostrongly while Elder Nethercott was giving me that blessing!"We were very excited for him!He also tried to tell us yesterday how to do missionary work better,he doesn't think our approach is convincing enough.We are now slowly passing him over to the Mandarin Speaking Elders, sothat he can really better fully know & understand the Gospel. Louis isstill cool.AHHH. I GOT TO HOLLY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER.I love her. It was really nice to talk to her, even for the short fewmoments that I did get to talk to her.She is awesome.OH. Exciting news,Sister Waite & I got transfer calls a little bit earlier than the restof the mission because President Pattison wants to make a travelingmissionary choir!!!Thankfully, ever so thankfully, I do not have to sing! (Still kindasad about it because I love singing, but honestly I am also thankfulthat I don't have to sing)However, I do get to take videos of the, singing and basically makemusic videos of them, so that's pretty rad. Basically, for the next9ish weeks we will be traveling around Edmonton, Sister Waite and abunch of other missionaries will be singing. I will also be makingpass along cards & posters to put everywhere.I basically feel like the little girl from School of Rock when peopleask me what I'm doing, I just say, "I'm their manager." I also get todecide what outfits they wear. I'm so cool.Nothing else really happened this week. It snowed. It's cold. Wetracted. People said no. We had district meeting. You know the usuallymissionary things.I really just want to let everyone that I love you all. I love thisGospel & I love our Saviour Jesus Christ.I know that Christ came and died for each of us!Read your scriptures. Pray hard. Love your neighbour. Look to Christas a source of guidance and protection. I know he will help you withanything that you need!Sister Lexie Rex Fisher305-8925 51 Ave. NWEdmonton, Alberta T6E 5J3CanadaPics & Vids1.

Merry (late) Christmas.I love you all.This week has been full of good food & the Christmas spirit. I love it.On Christmas Eve, guess what we did?We sang. Mary Did You Know. At West Edmonton Mall. Which happens to beone of the largest malls in the world. Cool. We flash mobbed it. Itwas pretty cool if I do say so myself. (Kinda felt like Buddy the Elf,but that's alright. It was awesome)It was wonderful to talk to my family. I love them a whole lot. Theyare the best.I really am so thankful for this Christmas season & that we are ableto feel the love that it brings.This week was also were able to sing at the Spruce Grove Nativity. Thespirit was so strong, and I was just so happy to be there. We wereable to also sing "Silent Night" (Pentatonix Version, of course) toget a little variety in there. The live Nativity was so much fun, wewere able to watch just a little snippet of it, but I loved it.Oh, so our ward did the "12 days of Christmas" for a family uuin need.Sister Waite & I signed up to go ding-dong ditch on Christmas Eve.Sister Waite had my heels on (#blessed, we are the same size), so Ihad her drive down the street while I ran up to the door. Literally,she is the worst get-away driver ever, but that's okay. She forgot toput the car in park when I dropped it off.Here is how that went...Sister Fisher rings the doorbell, and leaps off the porch in orderhide from the dad who is literally right in the window.She sprints as fast as she possible can (which is a bit slower thanusual #HOLLAdayz), runs to the other side of the car.... and startyanking on the door handle...Sister Waite is sitting in the car like "oh yeah, right.. the door..it's not opening."Anyway, we got away as the guy is basically watching me get into the car.I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.I love you all.I love our Saviour, Jesus Christ.I'm so thankful for this Christmas season.Pics:1.
