Hi everyone!
Wowowowowow, what a week. Last week
feels like a century ago. So much change this last week and so many
exciting things happened. First off, I got my new companion this last
Wednesday! Her name is Sister Bolander, she's from Arizona, she went to
three years of college at BYU before her mission, and she is basically
the coolest and I love her. She flew into Montreal on Tuesday,
so this is all very new to her. But she is so wonderful, and we've had
lots of speical moments together already, so I think it's fair to say
that we are both happy.
And before I go any
further, HAPPY (late) MOTHER'S DAY to all the amazing mom's in the
world. We are so lucky to have you, thank you for all that you do, you
make this world a better place.
Here's a super beautiful video about mom's that the church made, Happy Mother`s Day :) (it only made me cry a little okay)
MY MOTHER SHE IS SO PRETTY! I was so happy!!!
But
it really is my favorite day, and I got to see some of my favorite
people! Just seeing the faces of my beautiful mom, my amazing step mom,
my dad, and all my sweet family made me SO happy. It really was a
blessing to talk with them. And it feels weird to know that will be the
last time I see their virtual faces before I get to see them in real
life and squeeze their guts out. My goodness, time flies so quickly, and
I just hope it'll slow down a little bit before August. But, even if it
doesn't, I know Sister Bolander and I will enjoy our time together and
rejoice in all the miraculous things the Lord will do for us.
SELFIE!!
I just want to share one special tender mercy that happened this week.
There
was an older sister, Sister Poppe, in the congregation that passed away
at the beginning of May and this last Saturday was her funeral. And
sadly, because she was so sick, we had never had the chance to meet her,
but we wanted to go to the service in hopes of supporting her family
and friends. So, the day before the funeral, we were running around
going to different appointments and talking to different people, and as
we were driving, we were both super hungry, so we decided to pull over
and get some lunch. The restaurant we chose was the very glamorous
Burger King, but we were happy because they had a nice special going on
(don't worry mom, we're not regulars there). Anyways, after we finished
eating were about to walk out and and this man stopped us for a second,
and said "Sisters! I'm so happy to see a familiar face!" We were a
little surprised, because that's definitely usually not the response we
get, but we started talking with this man and it turns out he was the
son of Sister Poppe! He had drive down from Toronto for the funeral, he
was tired and of course a little sad, but he said it was so nice to see
us. Then we got to talk to him the next at the funeral, and all the rest
of his family, and they talked about how their brother had told them
about the experience and how much a tender mercy it was from the Lord
for Him to send us to a Burger King at just the right time. And it
showed me again that there are never any coincidences.
Remember that this week, there is a reason for everything!
Until next Monday,
Coke in Quebec. Toi + Moi = <3 CUTE.

working at a convenience store and we had fun looking around when people
came in
