Well friends, this is it! I am headed back to my lovely Utah
in just two days! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week has been surreal! It still doesn't really feel
real that in 2 days I am getting on a plane and will be seeing all you at
the end of an escalator! This year and a half has been magical. I have laughed,
I have cried, and I have laughed until I cried. I have made friends that will
last more than a lifetime. I have been at ultimate highs and ultimate
lows. But I would NEVER trade a single moment. I have come so deeply to
understand the healing and changing power of the Atonement. Change. Change.
Change. THIS is what I have learned the most of over the course of my whole
mission. Change is ALWAYS possible! I struggled so hard at the beginning
of my mission to forgive. I felt I could pick and choose who got the enabling
power of the Atonement. But I was SO wrong! Christ isn't just there for
some...He is there for EVERYONE. Every single person who has ever lived, Christ
came to save. But, it wasn't just that single moment, He saves us everyday. I
have been forever blessed and changed to see this first hand happen time and
time again here in the Canada Halifax Mission. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I saw this story this week and it
really touched me:<br clear="all" />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"I had a Church assignment
for three years and I taught religion at the county jail. Elder Holland came to
talk to us, and I’ll never forget what he said. He said, “If Christ were to
come tomorrow, we know the first place He would be is the temple, but we also
know the next place He would be is in a place like this.” There is hope and
there is opportunity for us. The Savior will literally save us. But we can help
be His hands. I think we need to do more like what Elder Holland talks about.
Be kinder, more sensitive to people’s needs, be more willing to accept them, be
more willing to help them. I think that’s what we need to do. While it takes an
entire village to raise a child, we believe it takes an entire community to
save one. And I think that’s the challenge to all of us—to be that one, to be
that person to reach out."<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I think this is SO important! I
may be ending my missionary service, but I am NOT ending my church
service. I am going to change the world when I get back. one person at a
time ...so be ready (;<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I cannot wait to just squeeze the
heck outta every single one of you!!! Thank you so much for going on this
journey with me. I have truly felt every prayer. I could not have done any of
this without you. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">This is the end...hold your breath and count to ten<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif;">🎶</span>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ahhhh I am in my last full week as a missionary and it still
just doesn't feel quite real!! I don't think it will hit me until I am home and
badge-less..and maybe not even then!! It really is true that on your mission
home feels like a dream that you remember but didn't really happen and I can't
imagine it being a reality again!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week was crazy (as always) God really gets me and knows
the busy life, especially here at the end is sooo good for me!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We traveled to Kentville where I did my training again for
another group of missionaries (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I conducted an exchange this week and we also moved
apartments! Seriously guys, best for lasst! We are living in the Hilton I
swear!! Its dreamy....<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">😍</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were able to meet with Heidi twice and she is so so
good!! We are having a movie night with her on Friday and watching 17 miracles
as a last shabang!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is getting sad as I am saying goodbye to people for the
last time :( So many amazing friends I have to leave! But, I know that i would
have met them no other way and that we will always be friends!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sister S fits in my suitcase, so I've decided to bring her
home with me (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Love love you all!! I can't believe that next week I get to
SEE you!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have loved every minute of being a missionary and am so
glad I still have a week and a half to preach the gospel to everyone!! My
mission was the best thing I ever could have done for my life. Losing my life
in the service of others has been how I found life so full of joy and I will
never be the same!<o:p></o:p></div>

If I had to describe this week in one word it would be
nutso!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were in Bridge water for District meeting Wednesday
morning then we had to drive to Amherst that night for a mission leadership
meeting the next morning in Moncton! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The meeting went really well! I love getting to see
missionaries from all over!! AND I got to see my 1st baby, Sister Goodsell!! I
am so so glad! I was worried I wouldn't get to see her again before I headed
home, but God provided!! She was also reunited with the missionary she trained,
Sister Cartwright (my granddaughter) so we took a family photo (: Sadly the
sister Sister C. trained wasn't there! I am a great grandma...OLD OLD
OLD! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I gave an hour long training on how the mission will now work
with members. President decided that he wants us to work with members more and
he also decided that I was the one who decided how...no pressure (: But I think
it went well, and now its over....except I have to train the District leaders
on it now woo woo (: So that was all day Thursday. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then we spent Friday running around getting supplies for a
tailgate...yes president approved us doing a tailgate for the Acadia football
game in Kentville with the elders! We got all the fixings for 200 hot dogs and
then all day Saturday we gave them away free with <a href="http://mormon.org/">mormon.org</a>
cards, pamphlets and Book of Mormons! It was a blast! President even let us go
and watch the game after!! #blessed<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Around all these events we also met with Heidi, Glenna and
Aiden, Sarah and Marilyn and Peter!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sarah is SO cool! She knows everything about everything! Her
questions are so deep! I am pretty sure she lives on Mormon.org!! She is
reading the Tattooed Mormon Book (thanks for sending that mama) and LOVING it!
Her big hold up is the commitment of baptism! But I know she'll get there! God
gives her SO MANY signs!! Every time she tells us about them I hum the twilight
zone theme song to her, I think she's getting it haha<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ALSO! This past Friday I hit my 18 month mark..whaaaa! Its
so crazy! I thought my whole mission went fast...but nothing could be faster
than this transfer! I have 2 p-days after this....<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">😯</span> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being a sister missionary is my favorite and I am so glad I
have 2 more weeks to be one!! Then I get to come and squeeze all of you! <span style="font-family: "MS Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Gothic";">❤</span><o:p></o:p></div>

This past week was surreal!! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had my last zone conference and had to give my departing
testimony!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have felt different since, I think it made it all
real <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">😬</span> I am at this weird stage where I know
it is ending I am feeling lot of excitement about getting to be in Utah again,
but I have had to say goodbye to anyone yet so the sadness and finality of it

teaching us how to play let it go on the piano 10 min before all our lessons
starting last week (: After our first piano lesson I was like, "dang! I
wish we had a way to practice" and then the senior sister missionary with
us told us the elders had a keyboard they don't used, so we called them up and
had a keyboard 10 minutes later #blessed I'll be playing like a pro by the time
I am home! <o:p></o:p></div>

First things first, we went to the zoo after emailing last
week...it was THE BEST!! It was just like, "we bought a zoo" it was a
cute little farm zoo with a big white houes of the family who lives there!!
They had farm animals like goats and llamas that you could pet, but they also
had lions and tigers and bears (oh my) and much much more!! I didn't even know
of my love for llamas until this day!! They are THE BEST! One was like my bff,
he followed me around the whole time! We got very close..as you can tell from
the pictures...(: I got the princess and the frog and emperors new groove mixed
up..honest mistake <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Yet another wonderful adventure this week....We didn't have
a chance to do laundry on p-day because we were running around like crazy, so
we decided to just do it asap the next morning so it was done before we had to
leave the apartment....We go down to the first floor to put some $$ on our
laundry card PJ's and all. We didn't even turn the light on in the
laundry room because it was like 6:30am and we hear this weird noise...and I
say, "oh its just the drier or something" But I decided to check
behind the door just incase....and there HE was!! I homeless man had somehow
gotten into our apartment and was sleeping on the floor of our laundry room!!
My head almost hit the ceiling I jumped so high! ....so many adventures, such a
short amount of time!<o:p></o:p></div>

convert) and his wife Marilyn and this engraved bookmark was waiting for us in
our spots (: We had talked to them about the whole first name thing I mentioned
a few weeks back and so they did this for us! Soooo sweeeeet!! They said, "you've
just done so much for us its the least we could do!!" Sister S and I were
so touched!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I also got to host an exchange with the Halifax
sisters..sooo I got to see my people the Morphy's!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I just love
them with my whole entire soul! I am going to miss them sooo much! But, I know
that wasn't the last time I will see them before I got home! They said,
"ohhh no! We are not saying goodbye now! We'll come to Sackville if we
have to!" But I think on my last few days I'll get to visit some people,
including them (: ( I forgot to take a picture with them until we were in the
car...so I hurried and jumped out and got this awkward porch pic haha) <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Its official! I am in my last transfer!! I am sooo old...and
EVERYONE feels it’s their duty to remind me all the time haha! Speakin
of...that reminds me of a funny story of the week. I was in a zone leadership
skype and I am the only sister in it because I'm the only Stl in the zone so
it's me and 8 elders. At the beginning I was giving this elder a referral of
someone we met, but lived in Halifax, then this other elder goes,"ohhh
Sister Hird, I have a referral for you!!" So I was like sweeeet and pulled
out my planner to start writing it down. He tells me this guys name and
address...in utah and then tells me all the things he enjoys doing and I was
just sitting there SO confused and all the other Elders are just laughing so
hard and one of them clues me in that I was receiving a marriage
referral.... <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">😐</span> Life in the last
transfer is interesting to say the least haha <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week was amazing! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We let with Louise for the 2nd and last time :( She is now
home! But I am so confident that she will meet with missionaries in Ontario!!
We taught her the plan of salvation and it was just as spiritual as the first
lesson if not more! She cared for her husband with a terminal illness until he
passed away a few years ago and as we taught the plan of salvation she was just
crying and told us, "when my husband was
dying he told me this! He didn't have religious background! He told me about
the paradise, the prison, the three kingdoms and I didn't know where it came
from and the religious leaders from other faiths told him he was crazy! But,
THIS, THIS is what he was talking about! It makes so much sense now!!!"<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was amazing!!! We testified to her that she could be with
her husband forever, she just needed to be baptized and sealed and she just
nodded her head as the tears spilled out. What a blessing it was to teach and
meet her! She said as we were leaving, "I KNOW there is a reason I met you
two girls specifically. God has a plan and you were part of mine" <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ahhh moments like that are what us missionaries live for!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Conference was AMAZING! I just loved it all! How blessed we
are to have such devoted and loving men and women who talk to God and then pass
on the info!! One of my favorite thoughts was from Joy D. Jones:<o:p></o:p></div>

not the same. Spiritual <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">worth</em>means to value
ourselves the way Heavenly Father values us, not as the world values us. Our

and it will endure forever.”</span><span class="gmail-marker"><span style="color: #147ea7; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2017/10/value-beyond-measure?lang=eng#note3" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #147ea7;">3</span></a></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Well friends...I am going to be spending my last 6 weeks
here in Sackville with Sister Silvennionen as an STL!!! Wooo no changes for
three transfers now...I'm starting to feel spoiled!! I am really really happy!!
I LOVE Sackville and am so glad it’s where I get to be twinkled....everyone
says you die as a mission but let’s be real it’s just like death in the
millennium...I'll just change in the twinkling of an eye once I've reached a
ripe old mission age (: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Peter, our recent convert (he was baptized by my mission
mama Sister Anderson, this past December) has his sister, Louise, in town from
Ottawa and while she is here she wants to meet with us!! We taught her the
restoration and it was probably the most spiritual lesson I've had my whole
mission!! She just absorbed it all up and cried through a lot of it! When I
recited the first vision to her the first thing she said when I finished was,
"I HAVE CHILLS ALL OVER" It was amazing! The power of the Holy Ghost
was so unrestrained because she was so open to feel it!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are teaching her the plan of salvation tonight!!
Woooo <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We also got to teach a sweet little old lady in our
building, Marian! She is 84 and SO cute!! She is having us over for
"squares" once a week and we get to teach her (: <o:p></o:p></div>

Ohh my soul!! You'll never believe it....we went on
exchanges this week and guess what we got????? LICE. Yup you read that right.
Lice. And if you are thinking to yourself, "wait didn't she get fleas
too?" The answer is also yes. "And she had a mouse??" Yup, that
too! I'm not serving in a 3rd world country like some of you wished for
me....but don't you worry, still getting the experiences <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif;">😊</span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thankfully after the fleas I've really mellowed out. I
didn't even cry once...okay that’s a lie...I did cry because I was laughing so
hard at Sister King wiggin' out hahah (pictured below) Which lead to Sister
Gillett telling me I am a Psycho haha then I found this sweatshirt today...so
obviously I had to take a picture with it!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So that basically sums up my week! We went down to
Bridgewater so I could conduct an exchange and after being there a whole day
and night one of the sisters came out of the bathroom crying and told us the
news. A member in their ward had them and passed them too...then they
got passed to us! We didn't actually find any in our hair, but since we
had been there with them for a night the chances there were eggs was high...so
we got to do the 9 hour hair treatment too! We stayed inside all day studying
deep doctrine and playing jenga #dreams<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like so much more happened this week but it's all a blur and
nothing is more attention grabbing than lice....Sooo that's all I have for you
this week!!!<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Hello fall!</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It's getting quite chilly up here in Atlantic Canada! Good thing I got the
light of Christ to keep me warm (getting cheesy is just a part of mission
life..I accept it) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week was pure insanity! I think I was with Sister S.
like 1 full day all week!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had a leadership conference for two days this week...SO
FUN! It was basically all the leaders in the mission getting together, being
uplifted, singing campfire songs, and roasting marshmallows (: #blessed I
learned so so much!! One of my favorite trainings was about being yourself and
owning it! Be you, God doesn't want you to be anyone else...because if he did
he would have made you them..but no! You are you, so be it (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Highlight of the week, I exchanged with the Halifax sisters
on Sunday so I got to go to my old ward! It was a blast!!! I got to see all my
old friends! Which was soooo fun!! They were all sooo confused why I was back
haha! I got to be with Laur and Belle!!! Woooo! On a mission you just make
friends that will last a life time!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like my dearest Sister Bair!! Who I got to exchange with
yesterday (Monday). LOVE her!! We just have a party and a half together!! I am
so so sad she leaves in 2 weeks <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">😢</span> BUT that's all
good because we are both going to be at BYUI....oh yeah...I GOT IN<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">💙💙</span>!!!! <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We had training on our names at leadership conf. it was
given by an Elder who just headed home! Something I love that he said was,
"I want you all to think of your first names....now don't shudder because
its not bad haha" (seriously it's the weirdest thing ever...as a
missionary somehow your first name gets all weird and feels wrong) The lesson
behind this and our names was that on a mission I've become better and
become, "Sister Hird" and somehow Sister Hird is not
McKell. Mckell has become who I was and Sister Hird is the new me....but
the problem with this?? Well, in 2 months I am going to be McKell again...which
means I am the old me....which is not good because new me is much cooler (;
Sooo I am going to work on being McKell again so that it becomes who I am, not
who I was<span style="font-family: "MS Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Gothic";">☀</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Awesome week!!! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I got some answers to some decisions I have to make for when
I am home because its like a transfer and a half away <span style="font-family: "segoe ui symbol" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">😶😬😅</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had a cool experience with it this week I thought I would share
you with you friends(: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I
originally had decided on attending UVU in Provo but felt I just wasn’t
receiving the answers I was asking for in prayer regarding school. I was asking
and asking about my career choice (with UVU already picked) and was just
receiving no answers. Then I got an email from a sister I served with who
is home now. In the email she was talking about BYUI and how she loves it there
then, the spirit spoke so strongly to me that I needed to consider attending
there. I started to pray about about it. I changed from asking what, to
where. That’s when the answers started to come. I felt that
Heavenly Father was telling me I need to be in Idaho, but I wasn’t exactly
thrilled about it! I want to be in Utah...my place with my people!! But
still I was getting BYU-I as my answer. Then while I was at a corn boil in
Kentville (on exchanges) a non-member was asking me about my plans after my
mission and specifically about school. I told him I was undecided still
and then internally was contemplating my options when I looked up and saw some
random guy wearing a BYU-Idaho sweatshirt....oh God, you get me...this
blonde needs these kind of answers....so clear I cannot be confused! Haha sooo
surprise! I am really excited about it now!! </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">It
was a good reminder that sometimes we don't get answers because we are not
listening...to anything but what we want to hear! I am sure Nephi wasn't
thrilled to head back to Jerusalem to get the plates, but he went and did
because it was God's will (1 Nephi 3:7) God has so much more for us than we can
even imagine! We just have to make our plans, His plans so we can accomplish it
all!</span><span style="font-family: "ms gothic"; font-size: 11.0pt;">☀</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">We
had a crazy week with exchanges and all that fun! </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Tender
mercy of the week...I was telling sister S how much I miss my fav broccoli
salad from home... then the next day at zone conference WE HAD it! But, the
miracle did not stop there...we went straight to a dinner appointment with a
member right after...where WE HAD IT AGAIN (but even better, homemade)!!! Then,
the next day at the corn boil (the revelatory one) THEY HAD IT AGAIN! I haven't
had it in 16 months then I have it 3 times in 2 days...ask and ye shall receive
friends </span><span style="font-family: "segoe ui symbol" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">😂</span><o:p></o:p></div>

WHAT TEAM??? Wildcats!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Guys I am just high on life this week!!! What gooood
times!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our investigators are doing wonderful, Sister S and I are
doing good, and THE MORPHY'S GOT SEALED!! Whaaaa! As predicted... Best. Day.
Ever. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was us, the two elders that were working them and Bro
Mo's parents and when the sealer came in he scanned the room and said,
"everyone here?" to Which Sis Mo replied, "everyone important"
I feel so so blessed to have been a tiny party of their journey and had the
chance to be there (: Shout out to Pres Pratt for being the real MVP!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week we got to exchange with the Halifax sisters in
Halifax! So I was back with my people (and I got to go teach the Morphy's...saw
them twice in one week??? Blessed) I got to spend half day with my friend and
former companion sister Kiser and with her new companion Sister Cahoon, who I
now just adore! We also got to attend a RS conference with our Investigator
Marilyn, and her friend in the ward Rosalita hung out with all of us the whole
time too...oh Roselita says the darnedest things haha She said, "wanna
know the trick to giving out Book of Mormons??? You say, 'do you want to live
another day?? Then you better take this book...or I'll kill you" Good
advice I'd say, I'll try it on door approaches (; <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The conference was really good! The opening speaker was
Brother Cartier the seminary director of all of Atlantic Canada. He is amazing
and he spoke on something that really touched me, so I wanted to share: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of his quotes was, "The gospel of Jesus Christ is
NOT about YOU being good enough. It is about Christ being good
enough."<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My thoughts on that:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why as humans do we expect so so much from ourselves
sometimes??? How many times have you felt broken, useless and like there wasn't
a point because you were holding yourself to a standard you gave yourself,
something that God isn't requiring of you just quite yet? Well, STOP NOW!!!
Breathe. Give yourself some grace and turn to Jesus. Your God does not
want you to ever feel like you aren't enough, because you ARE!! You are enough
because you are exactly who God made you. This life is a time for Happiness (2
nephi 2:25) Don't get caught up in the things you don't feel perfect at and
don't expect to do it alone! That was never part of the plan! TRUST JESUS! Turn
to Him, turn to your God and ask HIM what he wants you to work on and than work
on that one thing! Do not let unnecessary burdens weigh you down, let Christ do
His job and set you free. <span style="font-family: "MS Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Gothic";">☀</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Hey fam! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hope your week has been a dream...because mine sure
has <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">😇</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week we got to go to the temple as a mission AND Sister
S and I get to go again tomorrow!!! FOR THE SEALING!!! My life is complete!! I
could die of joy!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week we taught and found and it was fun! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The only thing really out of the norm this week is that they
are doing a special counsel thing this transfer where the stl's meet with two
elders (the mission trainers) and we go over stl things and role play and
stuff...hahah it was too funny! So I got to practice telling "sister"
Ipson and "sister" Larson (the elders pretending to be sisters for
the role play) that they needed to improve their contacting skills and not talk
about how a cute and elder was or something HAHA talk about hysterical! Their
critique for me was that I need to smile less when giving correction...I told
them I think that will be easier when the sister I am correcting, is in fact a
SISTER hahahah funny funny dayyy <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also this week as pictured below ( I know quality face right
there) I was eating some toffee like 3 min before a lesson that a lady gave us
when...snap snap snap my permanent retainer fell out...half way! So I got to
teach our investigator Glena and her 10 year old Recent convert grandson with a
metal chain hanging out of my mouth....that went in and out as I
breathed....party! But thankfully I found an awesome ortho who fixed it for
free! Bless the kindness of the Canadians<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We also got to see the eclipse up here! Talk
about...cool..kind of! There was sooo much buzz about I was expecting it to be
like the dead of night mid day....not so much haha but thankfully a wonderful
member Sister Johnson gave us these cool glasses that we looked so cool in so
we could see it without going blind (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week we also got to attend a baptism in Halifax and I
got to see my girl Abby!! (the one who thinks her doll has my face) She is too
cute! She calls me princess and is just quite the character..love it! She is
going to be a killer missionary one day! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Life is good here in Sackville! One of our recent converts
of about 6 months wife became an investigator this week!! Wooo! She is in the
early stages of dementia so it is hard for her to learn, but after going to
church for a year she is opened up a lot and is ready to be taught the lessons
at her pace (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Love ya b'ys <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Also Shout out to mama Bond!!! A faithful blog reader ever
since she found out that her daughter was coming to this mission! The first
time I met her daughter, Sister Bond and introduced myself as her STL, her jaw
dropped and she said, "okay so I like know your whole mission because my
mom is obsessed with you and would read your blog to me all the time"
Woooo Mama Bond, I am YOUR #1 fan <o:p></o:p></div>

Sarah is doing so so good! I just love her! She is a
wonderful human! We are like Bff's!! She seriously knows everything! Its
crazy!!! She studies like cray cray! I LOVE it!!! If only everyone had her
fire!!!<br />
<br />
Glena is also doing really good! Her and Aiden are a really good support system
to each other! Aiden doesn't eat so healthy and Glena needs to get off her last
5 cigarettes a day, so we made a cute little sticker chart for them! Every time
Aiden tries a new food he gets to put a sticker in whatever category it falls
in (ex. fruit, veggie, gran...ect.) And for every sticker he puts that is one
less cigarette Glena can have a day! So, she'll be off in no time and Aiden
will be healthier! <o:p></o:p></div>

They are getting SEALED on the 23rd of this month!!!!!!!<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">💛</span><span style="font-family: "MS Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Gothic";">☀</span> I
CANNOT EVEN CONTAIN MY JOYYYYYY!!! It's amazing! This time last year the
parents were less active and Laur wasn't baptized and now they are going to be
together forever! Missions are just the best! But, Isabelle is still not
baptized yet!! So we are going to try and get her baptized before then!! SO
everyone pray extra hard for Belle!!!!! We can make miracles happen! She knows
the church is true she is just scared...but I know we can get her there!<o:p></o:p></div>

P-day again already?? Have you ever heard the toilet paper
roll mission analogy?...Your mission is like a toilet paper roll and the closer
you get to the end of your mission, just like the end of the roll the fast it
seems to run out! Well folks, I testify...this is TRUE<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week has been a dream!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were able to meet with Heidi, Sarah, Glena (three times)
and Patty!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They are all doing sooo soo well! I don't know what we have
done to deserve such wonderful humans to teach!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our lesson with Glena was really cool! We did a Q&A
about baptism and committed her to a date, September 25th! She is living common
law (which has gotta change) and she said she really thinks she can have it all
sorted out by then and be baptized! (: She knows that everything is true! We
watched the full restoration video with her and she was very emotional about
it! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Watching that was also a very emotional experience for me, I
hear so many things from people about Joseph Smith...most commonly that he was
just in it for the money or the fame...HELLO!!!! He was persecuted the majority
of his life, he endured more hardships in his life (so did all the other saints
at that time) than I can even imagine!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For fame? He had none. For Money? He had none of that
either. Not mention he was killed for this cause. He was killed so WE
could have the blessings of Jesus Christs restored church. Because of
Josephs bravery we are able to perform ordinances that are ESSENTIAL for our salvation.
Therefore, we cannot be passive in our faith. This is the truth!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes I wish we were allowed to soap box so I could
scream this to the world haha (:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also...I ate penguin this week...only in Canada (; (pictured
below)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sister Fin and I are doing very well! I think we'll be
together another transfer! I hope so! Her English study is going well!! We are
having lots of fun! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had a leadership conference in New Brunswick this past
week and have a new missionary conference this week! (: And I get to give a
training on the retention of new members, I am really excited for it because I
am really passionate about it! Why baptized people to let them fall away??
Right!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Welll...I love you all with all my heart!! <o:p></o:p></div>

Have a magical week!<o:p></o:p></div>

Its been awhile! Sorry I ditch you last week, crazy p-day (:
But that only means that this weeks letter will be even better because it has
two weeks worth of miracles!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I'll kick it off with our investigators...We had three at
church this week!! woo woo<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sarah is doing AMAZING!!! We had an amazing lesson with her
at the temple! She text us and asked if she was allowed to walk around the
grounds, so we told her of course she could and that we could even meet her
there and show her around! Which we did! It was too good! (here the temple is
only open certain limited hours because there aren't that many people to go to
the temple....very different from Utah) So we couldn't take her in to the
waiting room. After walking around for about 40 min we were getting ready
to leave and then the temple president and his wife pulled in and we introduced
Sarah to them and they said, "well you can't come to the temple without
coming inside!" So they unlocked the door and let us in! They even sat in
with us and taught Sarah about the temple! It was too good to be true! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then Saturday night Sarah decided to put God to the test
because she was feeling nervous about church...so she completely turned off her
phone so she had no alarm and us calling wouldn't wake her up and she told God
that if she needed to go to church he would get her up...and low and behold
Sunday morning rolls around and Sarah (who is a big sleeper inner) Woke up with
just enough time to get ready and come to church! So she did (: (: It was such
a cool experience for her and us to see God encouraging her to do what she
knows is right! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Heidi is also amazing! She is still playing the organ for
her church so we got to go to my old hood the Halifax Ysa with her (its the
latest starting sacrament) and it was SUCH a good meeting! The talks were so
perfect for her and the spirit was SO strong! She cried a few times during the
meeting! Miracles! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Glena is also doing really well! Along with her recent
convert grandson Aiden (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We went to their house last night and Aiden had molded me a
clay Fairy Penguin pictured below (my new favorite animal thanks to the cute
video sister pratt showed us at zone conference) His cousins were also over and
sure did love us missionaries (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Its been a fun, fast few weeks!! I also had to do an
exchange with 4 sisters this week! Which I always love!! I love have tons of
people around, I wonder why that is(; <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sister Fin's English is improving! We are working hard to
get her many opportunities to teach and speak with everyone! That will be the
best training she can have (:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have another busy week ahead of us full of conferences,
exchanges and lots of fun! That is one thing I have enjoyed so so much about
this transfer...being so busy! It sure makes the days fly by and I am just so
so happy constantly doing! <o:p></o:p></div>

Happy Tuesday!!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Life is oh so good here!! I am so so happy!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am soooo busy...which I have found only makes me happier!!
I love to constantly be doing things!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I LOVE Sister Fin (her nickname because no one can say her
real name right haha) She is so cute! I took her to Costco today...I think it
scared her! Her english is okay, she just gets nervous talking to people! They
start learning it in school when they are 9, but of course they don't learn any
religious words, so we have an extra hour of studies a day to work on her
english (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our investigators are doing really really well!! We got a
new investigator named Donna last night!! She is a sweet older woman! She let
us right in and we were able to teach the restoration!!<br />
Aiden and Glena also came to church this week!! Woo woo!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We also had THE BEST lesson with Sarah (20 yr old gator)
Grace (a recent convert that I taught a few times) skyped into the lesson (she
now lives in Edmonton). In our last lesson with Sarah I had a strong feeling
she needed Grace so we got permission and did a lesson via skype last night! It
was SO spiritual!! Oh my soul, so amazing!! They both have such similar
experiences and Grace was able to give Sarah perspective on things we can't
because we don't know what is like to not grow up in the church! Its was really
good! Grace said it was also exactly what she needed too! (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am just having so much fun! Sister Fin and I get along SO
well! I also am having so much fun with the Zone Leaders I am working with! We had
a skype meeting yesterday (their area is about an hour away from me) to plan
our zone conference tomorrow that we are training at. During that skype
we cried 3 times because we were laughing so hard...(: Its a party over
here! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also Sister Fin taught me how to gut a fish this week...and
I only gagged twice #winning <o:p></o:p></div>

Heyyyyy!!<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Transfers are in.....I am staying in Sackville, but the high
school reunion was short lived! Sister Osborn is leaving me :( but she gets to
go open an area! I am going to be training now! But, it is kind of crazy!
I am training, but that doesn't relieve me of my STL duties, I will just be
doing both now (: They are doing a new thing...solo STLs and I am one and a
trainer! So I will be training and then in addition I am over 7 other sisters
because they added a new area of sisters to my zone and then did a trio in
another area! Sooo this is going to be a busy transfer and I am sooo
pumped!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My little greenie is from Finnland!! Oh my soul, I am so
excited! Her name is Sister Silvennoinen (no I don't know how to say it yet
either) I haven't met her yet. I get to pick her up at the office at 6:30am
tomorrow (: (: I have heard that she doesn't know much English, and that this
is the first time she has been in North America so it is complete culture shock
for her! I am really really excited to be training again!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Okay, okay, now I will jump back to this past week! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was wonderful!! We got 5 new investigators since I've last
e-mailed!! One of them was a mom and her two kids! Things are really starting
to pick up here! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We got to celebrate Canada Day on Monday because the weather
was too bad on Saturday the members BBQ got postponed! We met this really
amazing lady street contacting and invited her to come to the BBQ...AND SHE
CAME!! AND she brought her 3 daughters, sister and her sister’s boyfriend! It
was AMAZING! The ward made them feel so included!! The oldest daughter is even
coming to young women’s with us tonight and they are all coming to church on
Sunday! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BUT the weather sure didn't stop us from marching in the
Sackville parade! We walked 3k's in the pouring rain...it was a blast!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Heidi is doing SO WELL!! She is so elect! She is searching,
reading and praying EVERYDAY! We had a super solid lesson with her this week
about following the prophet and obedience! Every lesson we start with answering
her questions from the week before’s commitment and her questions are always SO
GOOD! She really absorbs and ponders everything!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Life is goooood here in Sackville!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am so so happy <span style="font-family: "MS Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Gothic";">☀☀☀</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I also heard that lots of you got to meet Jackie and
Steve <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">💕</span> The best recent (except not so recent
since they just got sealed this past week) converts in Truro!! It was so weird
that Sunday I was in their ward, while they were in mine! Missions are such a
blessing because of all the amazing people (like Jackie and Steve) that we get
to meet and make a part of our lives! AHHH i just love my mission! If anyone
out there reading this is wondering if they should serve..JUST DO IT! I promise
it is the best choice you will ever make! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Okay, rant over (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love you all so so much! I hope that you have a magical
week! Everyone watch a Disney movie in my honor this week <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">💝👑</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Hey hey fam!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
This week has been good! The weeks
are just flying by! I feel like I just emailed and now I am already doing it
again, mission time is a funny thing!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
We had a fun week! Of course...the
life of an STL is always exciting and you never know what is going to
happen! We had the Bridgewater sisters up for p-day...and you remember
those lovely car nanny's I told you about...well on their way up to Sackville
they got so many driving violations they lost their driving privileges...leaving
them with no way home except us! So they ended up working with us in Sackville
for a few days then we went down to Bridgewater and worked with them! Then we
had our zone conference in Bridgewater and got to have an ice cream party after
and 2 free hours of sight seeing! It was a blast!!! We went to Peggy's Cove (:
The most famous light house in Nova Scotia! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
For our training in zone conference
we talked about how we teach people the Doctrine of Christ (faith, repentance,
baptism, receiving the gift of the holy ghost and enduring to the end)
But how sometimes we don't apply it to ourselves! So in order to overcome
trials in life and reach our full potential we must be applying the D.of.C
EVERYDAY!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was really great!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Our investigators are doing really
well! We have a new one named Glena! I actually found her the night before I
left Halifax! Her and her grandson were taught there and the grandson, Aiden,
was baptized a month ago! They are now in Sackville and we get to work with
them! So that is really exciting!! Glena just has somethings to work through
before she can be baptized as well, but we'll get there!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Sarah, our 20 year old investigator
is doing really well too!! I just love her! She is seeking SO much and Heavenly
Father is constantly giving her signs...and even cooler than that...SHE
ACTUALLY SEES THEM!! Woooo!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Life is good!! <span style="font-family: "MS Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Gothic";">☀</span><o:p></o:p></div>

What a week!! This week has been one of the busiest weeks ever...and
I loved every minute of it!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wednesday we had our district meeting which is always
fun! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thursday: We went to New Brunswick for a leadership
conference (: So so so fun! We get to see lots of missionaries from all over
and that is always fun! Elder Leroy and Madsen brought this pink unicorn statue
with them all the way from Newfoundland just to give to me because, "of all
the sisters in the mission we knew you would appreciate it most" haha they
know me well #blessed <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Friday: I got to go on an exchange with my dear mother,
Sister Anderson and we got to spend the whole day together! I love that I have
been able to be around her my whole mission! I just love her and learn so much
every time we are together! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Saturday (the BEST DAY EVER) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sooo there was this street hockey tournament in Halifax this
weekend called "Play On" It is the biggest sporting event in Canada
and the guy who started it is a Mormon! SO all us metro missionaries got to be
volunteers at it the entire day Saturday! It was a blast!! I got to be with
Sister Bair the whole day!! PARTY!! I just love her! We did registration,
tracked down people who didn't do waivers (aka watch the games until the
players showed up) and man the t-shirt stand! It was pouring rain the whole
day...which only added to the fun! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fun fun fun times! I love it here! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then today Sister Osborn and I decided we needed care bear
build a bears....we may have gone to high school together...but we are back in
elementary school (: We even got some of the other sisters in on it too!
#winning <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ahhh we are both just goofballs...so it works! (: (:

What a week!!! So so so much has happened...I can't remember
a thing hahah </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the sisters in Wolfville that we are over has been
really really sick, so we went up there to help them in their area and get the
sick sisters companion out! They have been cooped up in the house for a week!!
So that was fun! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have two new investigators this week! Heidi and Michelle.
Heidi is SO cool! The other sisters were taught her once then we came in and
she had a big work project so we just got to meet with her for the first time
this week! She is SO COOL! She is searching for truth SO much!! She read the
last 3 books in the Book of Mormon and just loves it!! Its amazing! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Michelle is super cool (probably because she has the same
name as my beloved mother) We knocked on her door and she said, "oh come
on in and sit down for a bit" She believes in loose spiritualism, but
wants to know if there is a God and what His plan is for us. So we taught her
the plan of salvation! (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
THEN highlight of my week....we did exchanges with the
Halifax Sisters and I got to spend a whole day with my love Sister Bair!!!! It
was THE BEST!!! And on top of that they had a lesson in Halifax set up that
they couldn't miss....so I had to go to a lesson with Sister Bair...TO THE
MORPHY'S!! Oh it was the BEST!!! They had no idea I was coming so I surprised
them and both Isabelle and Laur cried!! It was AMAZING! It was also just
fantastic to have a lesson with Laur after she's been baptized!! She has come
SO far!! We asked the question, "what do you do when you're
baptized?" She responded with, "you make a covenant with God to
always walk by His side" I legit teared up when she said that! Its amazing
what the holy ghost does for people! Shes amazing!! Belle is still praying
about baptism. She knows its true and is doing everything, she just
doesn't like to be pushed. But she will do it! I know it (: (: (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sister Morphy also told me that they are preparing to go
through the temple in August and then be sealed!!!!! Its amazing!! I know Belle
can be baptized by then too!!!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SO SO SO good!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love you bunches!! <o:p></o:p></div>

Hey team!!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week has been good!! Full of miracles!!! Soooo I am
just going to share them with you, so brace yourselves for an email full of
stories! (:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. We were out knocking and the Street we were knocking
wasn't very promising, the people were either not home, not interested, or
catholic haha. But, Sister Osborn just felt like we needed to keep going
on this street! While walking up the drive away from another "not
interested. Leave" I saw the cutest puppy just standing at the top of the
drive way! I was thinking "what a miracle, Heavenly Father gave me a puppy
to make me happy on this rough street" So we keep going and the puppy
keeps following us! I felt like we should figure out its home and return
him. So we decided to knock a house and ask if they knew where the dog
belonged so we could return it and they pointed us to the right place (a house
a ways down the street that wouldn't have gotten to that night because it was
about time to head home). We knocked on the door and this older man
answered, and was very grateful we had brought the dog back. We told him about
the message we shared and he wasn't really interested. He told us that he
was going through a hard time and that he doesn't like to talk about....but
then he said, "my wife died 6 months ago after me being her caretaker for
the past 6 years. I'm just taking one day at a time licking the wounds,
trying to heal and missing her always." My eyes filled with tears and I
was overtaken with gratitude for the knowledge we have that families are
together forever and even more gratitude that through a puppy lead us to this
sweet hurting man, so that he could know to. We shared briefly the plan
of salvation and left him with the pamphlet to read over on his own. By
the end of our talk with him his heart was softened SO much and as we were
leaving he said, "I'll read this tonight! You've brought me a lot of
comfort!" We are going back in a week to see what he thought of the
pamphlet!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lesson learned: always follow the puppy (and the spirit of
course) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. We were stopping by a former investigator and it was an
apartment building that you had to be buzzed into. We buzzed twice, no
answer THEN a pizza guy came out! But, we didn't act fast enough! The door
closed before we could grab it and we were like, "DANG ITTTTT" Then I
grabbed the door handle, and said "God if you want us to go see
Dianne I will open this locked door!!!!" And I pulled....AND IT OPENED!!!!
The door that was very much locked, that no one buzzed opened! How great is our
God!!! It was really cool!!! Funny, but cool (: Our faith was definitely strengthened
even though Diane actually wasn't home haha <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. We stopped by another former investigator and the lady
had since moved! The guy, Steve, who now lived there talked to us for a minute
but was really closed off to the idea of God because he was experiencing some
trials. He told us he really wasn't interested so we left him with a plan
of Salvation pamphlet with our number on it. Then, that night we get a call
from him!! He said that he just kept feeling like he needed to call us and tell
us he would learn more...so he did!! So we set up to go over the next day! We
taught him fully the Plan of Salvation and he said he felt the spirit so strong
tell him he was doing what God wanted him too just like when he felt he should
call us!! So we were able to pick him up as a new investigator!! BUT it even
gets better!! An hour after the lesson we get a call from him and he tells us
that he feels really strongly that his teenage grandson needs this in his life
too!! He asked if he could come to the next lesson too!! WOOOOO WOOOOO<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

with....Sister Osborne, yes...it will be a high school reunion (: Crazy crazy!
She is new to Sackville as well, so we will be whitewashing the area! Woo!
Three transfers in a row with a new area and companion! I am sure learning
packing skills, and how to get rid of things hahaha! I am excited to be back in
the hustle of the city and see the ocean everyday again! (: Sad to
be leaving here so soon though! BUT I am lucky and Sackville is the ward Jackie
and Steve go to!! So I will get to see them every Sunday! WOO WOO!!</div>

We did the Cabot Trail up in Cape Breton for P-day!! Which
was SO FUN!!! I have lots of pictures this week to prove I do in fact have the
most beautiful mission!! <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
All our investigators are doing really well! Jason is SO
ready!! We asked him about his baptismal date and he said, " I have been
praying about it and I just feel good! I don't see why I wouldn't do it, only
good can come from it." He is just so cool! Since I will only be about an
hour and a half away and the baptism is so soon, I should be able to come back
for it! WOO<o:p></o:p></div>
