Cheerio, London!

Cheerio, London!

To start off some quick shout outs!

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the card and the cash! That was too kind of you and I soooo appreciate it! 

Thanks to the Roberts family as well! I have played the card over and over again cause it just gets me every time :) The gift was also SO generous and it will go to good use!

MOM AND DAD! WHOA! Way to spoil me! I loved the balloons and the bracelet (mom where did you find it?!) and all the other stuff :) 

Thank you to everyone who sent me an email as well :) I really do appreciate it! 

A special shout out to Taylor Mcdonald who is preparing to go on a mission! I am SO proud of everything she has over come to get to the point that she can go out AND she is going to absolutely KILL it wherever she goes :) 

We threw down on Scott this week. I told him that he was trying to serve two masters and that he can't do that. He can't be for God on the weekdays and party hard with the boys on the weekends. I looked him straight in the eye and told him it comes down to eternal life or eternal damnation and that the choice was his. After I said that he ran inside to grab something and I looked over at Sister Shurtliff who was just kinda staring at me and said: "Too bold and not enough love?" She just nodded her head and laughed.  

- also thank you so much Brother Vance for the advice! It is very wise and we will heed your council :) 

So Chris has been doing absolutely incredible! We taught him this week about repentance and it was the best lesson on repentance we have ever taught! We started out by reading in Alma 36 which is when Alma shares his conversion experience with his son Helaman. We highlight the verses that talked about the total despair that Alma felt when he realized the many sins he committed, "That the very thought of coming into the presence of my God did rack my soul with inexpressible horror." We asked Chris if he has ever felt this way and he said that he had. We shared that we all go through times where we have those feelings but that there is hope. We then shared the verses that talked about how he felt the forgiveness of his sins through Christ. We testified that we can all receive of this great blessing in our life IF we chose to repent! The spirit was really strong and we went on to describe the process of true repentance. He was very engaged and asked lots of good questions. We talked a little about why he was excited to get baptized and he mentioned how he wanted to be the priesthood leader for his family and I just about died of happiness. Chris will for sure get baptized on the 15th and I am SO excited! 

Next is the Ellis family! Oh my heart and soul do I ever love them! I wouldn't be surprised if in the pre earth life we all hung out. This week we went over for dinner again and we were talking about transfers and joking around about me leaving. Odessa who is 5 got all sad and said that I was her missionary and that I couldn't leave! My heart melted. I can feel the spirit more and more every time we go over. The family has been pretty good about reading and praying as a family however we still haven't been able to get Brother Ellis to say a prayer for us. But we will get him ;) I asked Brother Ellis if he was planning on bringing his family to church on Sunday when he told me that they would be in St. Thomas that day for a family birthday party (he was looking pretty pleased with himself for thinking he was getting out of church). Good thing they have a ward there! I told him I'd be sure to give him a call and see how he was enjoying stake conference and he had a good laugh. Right before we left we suggested that Brother Ellis put the kids to bed and Sister Ellis come out with us to listen to James Taylor and the MTC. Sister Ellis got a smile on her face and said she was in so we went out and had a girls night. While we were out Sister Ellis confided to us how much Brother Ellis enjoys it when we come over and gets excited about feeding us :)

The Ellis Family 

Me and Odessa

Fast forward to Sunday 

So the broadcast is done and we are walking around and who do we see!? The whole Ellis family standing at the back of the gym. My heart nearly burst with joy! They postponed their trip for a few hours to come to church :) In such a short time I have grown quite attached to this family. We were also talking about post mission plans with them the other day and Sister Ellis made a suggestion of the family doing a road trip out to visit us. 

I know that they will be sealed in the temple soon! I can see the spirit working with Brother Ellis to soften his heart and I am so excited for when he can take his family to the temple. I really felt like I was meant to meet this family and help them to the temple..... that is until I got a call last night. 

So I got transferred. I leave for Guelph and I am devastated. I sent Brother Ellis a text and told him we were going to come over to see them on Monday night. I told him I'd need ice cream and he asked what kind was my favorite. I don't know why I'm leaving. I really thought I was meant to continue working with the Ellis family. So sure in fact that I had already come up with some new lesson plan ideas and a game plan to get them to the temple...

I'll also be missing Chris's baptism :( 

I know that everything happens for a reason and I know this was inspired. I just dont understand why.

I don't like ending on a sad note though so I will tell a funny story about how I accidentally participated in a drug deal. 

So this guy comes up to me on the street and asks if he can use our phone to call someone for a ride. He looks a little rough and I'm affraid that he will run away with the phone. I contemplate my ordeal in my head and realize that I'm representing Christ and he would help the guy out. After an awkward minute of silence I say sure and hand over the phone. This is the converstation I hear:

Guy:"Hey I've got the stuff to pay you off.... Yeah I'm at the cornner..... Ya I have everything you asked... the cd player, the blue Nike womens shoes, etc..."

- I take a peak in the bag and sure enough all these things he lists off are there.

He finishes up on the phone and deletes the number he called and gives it back.... I don't really know what to do so I give him a card and tell him to check out the web site. 

Oh London East how I will miss you!

Took a long time today to get this all out so I dont have much time left but have a wonderful week!

Notice my fat lip? We figured I needed some more street cred... and now I get transferred. Worst timing ever!

Heat of the Moment

SISTER LAING CAME TO VISIT ME!!! AH! On thursday we were out giving some service when I get this text from a random number. We look at the message and it says it's from Sister Laing and that she is in my city! AH! It was wonderful to visit with her :) We got to share a short message and I got to see how she was doing. She also took all my winter stuff home which was a huge bonus! 

ALSO SHAWN GOT BAPTIZED!!! So Shawn is Sam's husband and Sam is one of my converts from Oakville :D Her husband got baptized this past sunday! Ah I am SO happy! Now they can go to the temple and get sealed!!!!

Besides that my week has gone by super fast- so fast that I don't know what I should email you about....

Well let's start off with Scott. So he didn't come to church this Sunday... he slept in instead so we are going to drop by him tonight to talk to him about that. He also doesn't seem like he wants to give up some of his word of wisdom problems cause he thinks it will be too hard. We don't want to cut him loose but you can't magically give people a desire to change... 

Brother Ellis worked this Sunday so they couldn't come to church BUT we did have a really good visit with them this week! There was something different about them. Sister Ellis seemed a lot less wary of us and Brother Ellis was less sarcastic and more open to talking about the gospel and such. It was really cool to see this little transformation ;) we asked them if they had been reading and praying as a family this past week and they had for a few days!  

Other than that things this week have been good... Im trying really hard to remember what we did but I honestly can't think of anything! 

Oh let me tell you about Chris! So we were working with Chris last transfer (he is Kyri's step dad). We took a break from teaching him just because there was family stuff going on that needed to be taken care of first BUT we have picked him back up and he has a date for June 15th. He is looking pretty solid cause he finally started listening to the Book of Mormon! He now has a testimony of Joseph Smith and doesnt have any major barriers when it comes to commandments. 

We are also teaching a single mom. Her name is Pam and she has 2 little boys. Preston is 7 and Logan is 2. Logan is crazy and hates clothes so when ever we go over he is butt naked and NEVER listens to his mom. Preston is really excited to learn about God :) He LOVES praying and now they all pray every night. And when we told him they need to start reading the Book of Mormon too he told his mom they needed to read it right now. It was really cute especially cause he hates reading. They came to church this week and he really enjoyed primary too. We aren't sure how committed Pam is.... I feel like she thinks this is just a fun thing to do with her family but doesn't understand the commitment. It's hard to bring the spirit into the lessons cause she spends most of them yelling at her boys but she has a date for the 15th and she told her mom about it so who knows! 

Anyways I really got to go! Do good this week! 

Also its 32 degrees with the humidity! KILL ME!

CAN YOU SAY MIRACLE SUNDAY???? CAUSE THIS MISSIONARY CAN! Haha if you can't tell, we had a very good Sunday this week :) The Lord has been looking after us over hear in London 2nd E! 

Before I get into that though its time for....... 

SHOUT OUTS! (I've come to realize that I have a loud voice since I've been on my mission haha so it's funny that these are called shout outs... just thought I would share that with everyone) 

Thank you Brother Stewart for the letter about how our church is different. I really enjoyed reading it and will share it with the other missionaries :) 

Back to Sunday :) The tender mercies just kept on rolling allllll day. There are 4 specific ones that I'd like to share with you all:

1. SCOTT CAME TO CHURCH! Praise the Lord it's a Christmas Day miracle in May! After 4 weeks of trying and failing, Scott finally stepped through the church doors. We phoned him in the morning to make sure that he was up and everything and when he answered the phone he didn't even seem tired! Not only this but saturday night his dads truck caught on fire.... Scott looked at us during sacrament and shared the thought that it was Satans way of trying to make him not come to church. After sacrament meeting he had a big smile on his face and told us that it felt really good to keep his promise to God. 

2. So we have been working with the Ellis family who are less active. Brother Ellis has a very dry and sarcastic sense of humour and the 2 of us together are a deadly combination. Hahaha! We get along really well and it can be hard not to just feel like we are talking to friends so we will have to be careful of that. Anyways we were trying to think of a way to get the Ellis family out to church when I got another brilliant idea. Sister Shurtliff was going to be giving a talk in sacrament meeting and we figured that's as good an excuse as any to come out to church. This is what our conversation went like: 

Me: Brother Ellis! Sister Shurtliff is giving a talk in church and I will have no one to sit with! You should bring your family so I wont be lonely! 

Nate: Sounds like a trick! 

Me: I have no idea what you could possibly be talking about... but if you come we can make faces at her and it will be great

Nate: I dont even know your name. Do you expect me to sit with a stranger? Sister is much too generic and doesnt identify you well

Me: Maybe if you come to church and sit next to this stranger you might find out her name...

Nate: Too vague.

Me: Well you will have to show up to see  

Nate: Oh for sure. Then we can go out after church and get tattoos

Me: Only if they say, "I love the missionaries!" 

Nate: That could do

Me: Well I will have a seat saved for you :) we hope to see you there

(he is the master at avoiding commitments and anything we want to talk about)

So sunday rolls around and I am completely preoccupied with Scott when I notice Sister Shurtliff making weird eyes at me and pointing. I thought she was crazy so I just ignored her. Once sacrament meeting ended Sister Shurtliff runs past me to go see someone and I take Scott to go meet the bishop. I'm standing there doing nothing and look back to see where Sister Shurtliff went off too. That's when I see another Christmas Miracle in May..... BROTHER ELLIS! BAH! My mouth literally hung open and I may or may not have left Scott standing with the bishop to go over to see him. He actually came! It's like the first time in YEARS! He also brought his 2 cute little girls :) My heart was SO happy :) After church we discussed where we would get our tattoos and he invited us to go watch the fireworks but we declined saying that there were some souls who needed saving.

3. Chris Harris has been taught on and off by missionaries for the past while and has had lots of baptismal dates. We decided to put him on the back burner for now cause things weren't going anywhere. Well Chris just happened to show up to church too! At the end of church Brother Alicen came up to us to let us know that we have 2 appointments with Chris this week and that he has a baptismal date for June 15th. Wait what! We stand there a little confused and dumb founded and our member just walks off haha. Sweet! 

4. Last transfer Sister Tebbs and I contacted a guy named Brandon on the street and talked to him briefly about church, gave him a card and told him to give the YSA Elders a call. Well yesterday HE GOT BAPTIZED! BAH! AND on top of that Sister Shurtliff and I contacted another YSA named Shawn on the same street last week on mothers day. We got his information and passed it over to the Elders and HE also was at church this sunday! It was so cool to see him there and the Elders tell us that he is so prepared! He has a date for baptism on the 8th of June :) 

It's been a great week :) lots and lots to be thankful for! We also got to see Amanda and taught her and her boyfriend! We found a few solid potential investigators and got to do lots of yard work! 

Time is running short though so I'm heading out! God is good and miracles come as we are exactly obedient! Keep smiling, it increases your face value. 

Line of the Week: We are over teaching Misty 

Misty's daughter: "This is the longest staff meeting ever!" 

Scripture of the Week: Helaman 3:35

"And never the less they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea, even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God."

Holy Humidity Batman! Man sometimes it feels like I'm serving in a totally different country! Besides the humidity we have had a good week! Lots to tell and so little time so I will get right into it! 

So we have been working with a lot of new people this week that we have found from just talking with everyone and from our member Christopher Wilde. We met Misty in her complex as she was walking her kids home and we asked if we could come over to share with her and her family a message about Jesus Christ and she said sure! She is a single mom of 2 kids, has a positive outlook on life, is Native and her grandmother is Christian. Since she doesnt really come from a Christian background, everything we are talking about with her is really new. We taught her the restoration first which was cool. She had a lot of good questions, but the plan of salvation is where it is at! So before we taught her the plan of salvation we asked her about her beliefs on the creation. THEN we likened her beliefs to the plan of salvation! IT WAS SO COOL! I felt like I was Ammon or something. Teaching her about the importance of Christ was very spiritual as well. She asked such good questions about why we needed him and stuff like that. We have high hopes for her :) 

So you know how in the scriptures it says, "Open your mouths and they will be filled"? Well I totally had one of those moments this week. So we weren't able to get a hold of Scott all week so early on saturday morning we went over to his house and ambushed him haha. We asked him what had been happening and he started talking about how he knew that there were things that he needs to give up but that he didnt feel like he was ready to give those things up. He still likes smoking and going out to the clubs with his friends and all those things like that. 

-> Sister Hall's thought process while he tells us all this…."Are you kidding me? You are 27 years old with a 3 year old! Grow up!" 

He rambled on for a few more minutes about all the excuses as to why he shouldnt meet with us and then I opened my mouth and spoke the words God needed him to hear. What I said wasn't profound by any means, but they were exactly what he needed to hear. As I started to speak, the words just seemed to flow out and I didnt even have to think about what to say. I told him something to the effect that following Christ was not meant to be easy. That giving up those things are hard right now because he hasnt been able to feel Christs love for years and so he doesnt realize what he is missing, but that as he draws closer to Christ and feels His love, he will begin to desire to give those things up and it wont be as hard. But that in order to get to that point he needs to start to make those little changes by coming to church, reading, praying and meeting with us. 

We have also started working with a less active family named the Ellis's. I like them a lot and I get along with Brother Ellis pretty well. He served his mission in Utah so he knew exactly why we were coming over. He was trying to steer the conversation away from the invitation he knew was coming, but Sister Shurtliff extended the invite to take his family to church. He said maybe... and then tried to change the subject again. I steered it back and told him that we didnt want him to come to church and then I paused. I had caught his attention at this point and then I continued. I said we didnt want him to come to the church because we invited him to because we both knew that that wouldnt last long. We wanted him to come to church because He wants to do it for his family. I then bore my testimony about how going to church as a little girl really helped me in my teenage years to stay on the straight and narrow especially when I started to stray away from that path. That really intrigued him. I have good feelings about him but only time can tell. They invited us back though for dinner on tuesday! FREE PIZZA! YUS! 

Anyways im outta time! Love you all and Happy Mothers Day once again!

Well hello family and friends! Another wonderful week out in the mission field to report on, BUT first some business to take care of. 

Shout Outs:

My dad is becoming an old fart this week! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Mothers day is coming up and I have the best mother EVER so I'll be getting to celebrate that whoop whoop! 

Thank you to the canyon creek young women! I loved the chocolate and nuts and the card was so sweet :)

I've had a lot of people ask me why I would go on a mission and miss my own sisters wedding. This is a good question and one that I couldn't quite answer at first. My dad shared with me an experience this week where someone asked why I wasn't allowed to come home for her wedding and he got a little stumped as well and did his best to explain why, but wasn't sure if his answer satisfied the person. Now if I were to be asked this question I'd have the answer for them. A missionary is a person who leaves their family temporarily so that others can be with their family for eternity. Its a big calling and is one of eternal importance. 

As for this week, Sister Shurtliff and I had lots of fun walking around in the rain because it is so much better than snow HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA. Mom sent me pictures of all the snow you guys are getting. Welcome to Alberta eh! 

We weren't able to see Amanda again this week.... she told us that she is still out of town, but she did tell us she has been reading and praying. We just hope she isn't avoiding us. Its a rare occurrence but it happens once in a while to us missionaries ;) On that note we also haven't been able to see Danielle haha HOWEVER we have gotten to see Scott and he is doing really good! We had a lesson with him with one of our members Brother Broadley and he pretty much ran the show. We focused on CPR (church, pray, read) and how that was the key to receiving his answer. Brother Broadley did a wonderful job of testifying how the gospel has blessed him and his family and how as much as he would love to give Scott all the answers, Scott needs to find them himself. It was powerful and the spirit was very strong. We had high hopes that he would make it out to church but he didn't... Theres always next week though! Maybe we will have to cook him breakfast.....

So as per usual we had lots of tender mercies this week. I've come to realize that Heavenly Father is teaching me patience and real charity. Want to know how I've come to know this? It's because I've been praying for it! Rookie mistake! The peoples' hearts have been a LOT harder then usual lately. Like usually people will entertain us and answer our questions and take a card but now a days people do more of an exasperated yell and wave their hands around and throw our card down (it's kinda amusing). Anyway this week we had interviews and I expressed some of my feelings of frustration to President and he advised me to focus more on turning out and be more selfless. I took his advice and the very next day we knocked on a door of a lady. The first thing she said to me was that she was sorry for being so rude to me on the bus the other day but that her grandson had been in the hospital. WOW! I don't even remember this lady but what a nice thing to have someone apologize to me :) She even said that we could come back and visit her :) 

Lastly, just a few hours earlier today Sam and Jorden (my very first converts back in Oakville) came up to take Sister Shurtliff and I out for lunch! It was SO wonderful to see them! My heart was over joyed and I couldnt stop smiling. In fact, my face hurts from smiling SO much! They have been doing really well and Sam's husband Shawn has been taking the discussions. Jorden is going to the temple for the first time tomorrow! I am SO excited for him :D Also Sam told me about her trip to Calgary where she attended the Canyon Creek ward! WHAT WHAT! She said that the people were SO friendly and she felt SOOOO welcome that if she were to move to Calgary she would HAVE to move into the Canyon Creek ward :D You all make me so proud! 

Well thats all for now! Dont forget to follow up and if you have no one to follow up on then go commit someone to do something! 

Love you all! 

Y.O.S.O

And again, verily I say unto you, and I say it that you may know the truth, that you may chase darkness from among you;...

The Awkward Week

The Awkward Week

Shout Out! 

Thank you Summer's family for the wonderful Easter letter :) You are too kind!

We weren't able to see Amanda at all this week due to her grandfathers poor health. I hate it when we don't see our investigators all week. The longer I am away from them the more I worry about them. Haha Im starting to feel like my mother!

Danielle wasnt able to come to church this week because of she couldn't find a car seat which is a bummer. We also didnt get to teach her this week cause she got pretty busy but we are seeing her tonight and we are teaching her the W.O.W which will be fun! We found out that she has a male roommate though which means she will have to move out before she can get baptized... Never before in my mission have I had so many investigators with "big" commandment issues. 

Me and my new companion :)

I find the new week to a transfer to be an awkward one. You and your companion are figuring out how each of you teach, you have started to clear out your pool of people who arent progressing so you suddenly have a lot of free time, etc... This week has been no different, but Sister Shurtliff and I have continued to see Heavenly Father bless this area despite all the ups and downs! One day this week was a particularly long day. It was windy and raining. Everyone seemed like they were in a bad mood and no one wanted to talk with us. On top of that we had no appointments AND I lacked the motivation to talk with everyone. I was sitting on the bus when I started to feel really guilty for not talking with everyone so I put my wants aside and went to work. By the end of the day we hadn't seen much success and it was nice to be able to go to bed. The next day however we got a phone call from someone I had talked to on the bus! I remember him as well. He as a man from Nigeria and he was the last person I talked to before we got off the bus to head home. He said he was interested in checking out a service and wanted more information. What a tender mercy :)! We had to hand him over to the other missionaries that covered his area so I'm not sure if he actually got out to church but I sure hope he did.

Another tender mercy Heavenly Father gave us this week was when we met Scott. So sister Shurtliff and I were walking around in a neighbourhood when we saw a lady get out of her car. We went over to go and talk with her and she invited us in. She told us that she already went to a church but that her son Scott could use Jesus, so she went and got her son and told him to listen to us haha. Scott is 27 years old and is a single father with a 3 year old named Thunder who has gotten quite attached to us. Scott used to be strong in his church, but in high school drifted away and made some bad choices. He really wants to get involved with church again though and is excited to come out. We taught him the restoration and he said he would prepare for baptism on the 25th of May. Exciting!

Anyways thats all for this week! Love you all! Enjoy the snow in Calgary haahaha!

Happy Birthday to Naomi, Olivia, Genevieve AND Heather!! 

So I want to apologize for the short emails. Things have been getting busy and we only have 90 min on the computers = not enough time! 

Transfer time again and Sister Tebbs is leaving me :( She is going out by Kingston and I get a new companion. I think her name is Sister Shurtlif or something like that. Im super sad to be leaving Sister Tebbs!

As for this week things have been going really well! We taught Amanda about the law of chastity. It was kinda nerve racking cause we knew that we would have to invite her to get married before she could get baptized. Things were going pretty good. She understood the importance of the law of chastity and everything but I could tell it didn't click with her that being common law doesnt mean you are married soooooo I looked her in the eye and said she would have to get married before she could get baptized.... awkward silence hahaha! Maybe not the smoothest way to let someone know, but it got the job done. We talked it out with her a little more and narrowed down her major concern to the fact that they dont have a lot of money for a wedding. I have faith that things will work out though :) We invited her to pray about the law of chastity and told her that God will answer her prayers. 

We meet another single mom on the streets. Her name is Danielle and she has a 4 year old son named Dominic. She is SO sweet! We taught her the restoration and talked about how having God in our lives and having a living prophet has blessed our families, especially when it came to us being raised with good morals. I told her about how having a relationship with God while I grew up helped me to make good choices and not fall into the pressures that come from high school.The spirit was strong and she is super interested and has committed to work towards May 4th as her baptismal date! SO EXCITING! When we asked her why she wants to meet with us she talked about how she wants her kids to have a better life than she did and thinks that God can help with that. We promised her that He will help her out and more cause she is His daughter and He loves her. It was a powerful moment :) 

Man I just have to say that we are being blessed with amazing people to teach! After dropping like 20 investigators, God has come through with prepared people who desire to learn about his son. Missions are amazing :) 

Also I got to teach all the relief society ladies how to line dance this week hahahaha! It was SOOOOOOOO funny and I never thought I'd be saying this on my mission but its a good thing I went to Ranchmans ;) (Oh good heavens… -J)

I'm running out of time… some things never change haha. I love you all though and hope you all had a wonderful Easter! Oh and check out this video!  It is absolutely incredible so share it with your friends on facebook :)
