Hellooooo friends and family,
THE SNOW ON OUR STREET
here we meet again,
after another week that has gone by like the blink of an eye. This week
was pretty unique, seeing that we had the worst snow storm since 1972.
Yeah you read that right. In ONE snowfall we had over 2 feet, with some
seriously crazy wind to accompany it, and the best part was that this
storm was after all the other snow had melted and we could see all the
grass and the hint of spring that was starting to come. But Canada,
bless its heart, has a way of crushing your spring-weather-dreams, by
sending a tempest in the form of fluffy snowflakes.
THE SNOW IS BLINDING
BUT, we made it out
alive, and now, today, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. Go
figure. Anyways, continuing on, this week we got to do a lot of what we
call, "Service with a Shovel" (!!!) to try and help some people out of
sticky situations the snow caused and it was actually a lot of fun and
we met some fun people. We just carried a shovel around all day walking
around looking for people who might need help, and sure enough, there
were people who couldn't even see their car under the snow. Then we
started talking, laughing about the craziness of the weather, then the
conversations turned to a gospel topic and the rest was history. And
either we will be meeting some of those people this next week,or the
French missionaries will be meeting with them (because ya know, we find A
LOT of French speakers, because we are in a French town, but every now
and then we find a solid Anglophone and our hearts let out a little
cheer of happiness).
shoveling to our car! it took 20 minutes!!
This week I've also been
able to focus my studies more on our Savior Jesus Christ and everything
that He did for us, to save us, to give us a second chance, and then to
ultimately give us the chance to receive exaltation. Throughout my whole
mission, I really have been finding myself turning more toward Him,
thinking about Him, and what He would want me to do, and over the
process of time, I have come to know Him better, my faith in Him has
increased as I have served and trusted in Him. I really do love my
Savior. I know that He is my Redeemer, our Redeemer. That He is my
Advocate with our Father, that He will plead my cause before Him,
because He is the only one that really understand, because as Isaiah
said,
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he wasbruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53: 3-6 https://www.lds.org/
He
has borne our sorrows and griefs, He has felt everything we have felt,
He really is the one we can turn to, so that we can find peace and rest
for our souls. (https://www.lds.org/
I love our Savior. I know He loves us too.

Have a great week,
Sister Thomas
