Okay I have noooooo time today but I will try and share some awesome things that happened this week!
*We
went on exchanges with the Sisters in Montreal and guess who I was
with... SISTER BARNES MY MTC COMPANION! She became the new Sister
Training Leader last month and so we got to be companions once again and
it was sooooo fun. She was brand new to the city, and I had only been
there a few times so we just walked around and tried not to get too lost
using the bus and metro system. But it was so fun to teach and to
testify with her again. We have both grown so much since the MTC and it
was awesome to share experiences and tips. We met this young man at the
bus stop and he was from Rwanda, and had moved to Canada alone just 3
weeks prier and spoke very very limited English. But we told him about
the gospel and about how the church could be his family here. We told
him that we were his friends and that we had a message to share. He was
so grateful and thankful he almost started crying (and so did we). We
talked him to the church (it was like a 10 minute walk) and showed him
how to get there via the metro system. It was a super cool contact.
*We
taught a lesson in half Spanish and French last night to one of our new
investigators. Sister Morgan did AMAZING in Spanish and it was so
perfect. We have 2 more Spanish lessons coming up this week, so I better
start practicing.
*We read scriptures with
one of our less active members who we haven't gotten to see in FOREVER,
and it was so beautiful. We read in Mosiah 27 (https://www.lds.org/ scriptures/bofm/mosiah/27? lang=eng) about
Alma's conversion story and we laughed and cried as we read the
scriptures and applied them to our own lives. I love the Book of Mormon.
It is so true and so pure. And I'm so happy I get to be here sharing it
with people. The scriptures are a gift God has given us, and we get to
read them and ponder them whenever we like. AH they are such a
blessing.
Being a missionary is wonderful. It
is hard, but as I've tried to have a better attitude and a renewed
desire to help people this week, miracles have definitely come. I'm so
happy to be here.
Have a great week everyone!
