Hello Everyone!!
So we have about thirty minutes right now because yesterday
was Canada's Thanksgiving, and today our zone is having a Turkey Bowl against
the Brampton Zone at the mission home in a little while! I'm so excited :)
This week was for sure a GREAT week to start off the new
transfer. Last transfer we were unable to hit Standards at all. But we started
off the transfer by hitting standards and it was a MIRACULOUS thing!
This week we had a day called A Day In the Life of A
Missionary where members followed us around throughout the day and tweeted
everything that we did. Mom and dad are Facebook friends with Ekam so they were
able to stay connected and watch it in action but it was pretty cool. From what
it sounded like, #mormons#lds#missionaries were FLOODING Ontario. We hope to do
it again and have it even bigger with everyone involved! Technology is
getting the good word out! But honestly I have never had a day like this in my
whole mission. We had lesson after lesson popping up, scheduled and
spontaneous. We gave three chapel tours, extended three baptismal dates,
spontaneously taught 5 college students in their home, 5 new investigators - we
ended up having 9 member present lessons that day which is unheard of! And all
our investigators are AMAZING. Such a miracle.
A really cool piece of that day was we were blessed to have
President and Sister Clayton join us in our lesson with Q...! Q... has an
amazing story that I will have to tell you about later. But we taught him the
restoration and he soaked it all in and asked US if he could come to church. It
was so great. And funny story with him! We received a call from a potential
investigator named S... at 10:15 on Saturday night saying she wanted to come
to church and asked if we could find a ride for her and her son (car seat was
needed). The only people up north that far that could drive were us and Q....
So... we called Q... and asked if he could drive her and he was happy to! Then
Sunday morning we remembered that we aren't supposed to have single males drive
single females alone (and vice versa) so that morning we asked if we could
drive with him as well and he gladly accepted! Haha so we had a party driving
to church together.
The missionaries in our ward ate Thanksgiving with a bunch
of Spanish families in our ward. Funnest and funniest night ever. I love the
Spanish culture so much. They are so giving, and so willing to help out with
the missionary work. And they really know how to throw amazing parties and cook
amazing food! Haha we were all dying after dinner.
There is so much for me to say, but I have to go now. I love
you all so much and I guess I am blessed with two times this year that I am
able to say I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOU ALL!! Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a
great week!
I hope to have more time next week to answer all your
emails. Grandma I love you with all my heart!!
