Hello
everyone, I hope all is going well for you. Things up here have been
interesting. As I mentioned last week I got a new companion. His name is
Elder Liddle. He is from Sunderland in England and loves his accent
haha. He is definitely a bit different from my last companion, so it
will be fun to adjust to a new situation. My coaches always said the key
to success is being able to adjust to any type of situation. He is a
great missionary and I am excited to serve with him. He has been out for
about a week shy of a year, and he is into drama and entertaining and
stuff like that. So it should be a fun companionship!
So
this week there was a YSA international potluck, so there was lots of
interesting foods. and wouldnt you know it, they asked us and the
sisters to judge the most delicious, most exotic and most creative. So
it was interesting to say the least. We got to eat a lot of food!
We
have also been attempting to do transfer planning for our zone this
past week, but we haven't gotten transfer events from the AP's yet. And
there was a switch in our zone! So Lloydminster and Vermillion were
taken out and put in the other Bonnie Doon zone and we picked up the
Cold Lake/Cherry Grove area, which goes even further west into
Saskatchewan than Lloyd did! So it will be kinda fun.
We
had a great lesson yesterday with our investigator Diddy. and yes he is
black and awesome! He is the boyfriend of a less active in our ward and
he is super solid! We were trying to think of another fellowshipper in
the ward, so we ended up bringing one of my favorite members because he
liked soccer as well as Diddy. and they are literally both the same.
From schooling, right down to the same position in soccer! It was a
testimony to me that as we rely on the spirit, he will guide us in all
things.
Quote
of the week comes from the same guy as last week. "I'm totally stoned
on missionary work. It just gets me totally baked!" haha fun times
visiting Brad!
Scripture of the week is Alma 5:44-46 " 44 For I am called to speak after this manner, according to the holy order of
God, which is in Christ Jesus; yea, I am commanded to stand and testify
unto this people the things which have been spoken by our fathers
concerning the things which are to come.
45 And
this is not all. Do ye not suppose that I know of these things myself?
Behold, I testify unto you that I do know that these things whereof I
have spoken are true. And how do ye suppose that I know of their surety?
46 Behold,
I say unto you they are made known unto me by the Holy Spirit of God.
Behold, I have fasted and prayed many days that I might know these
things of myself. And now I do know of myself that they are true; for
the Lord God hath made them manifest unto me by his Holy Spirit; and
this is the spirit of revelation which is in me."
I
have gained a strong testimony of Fasting and Prayer. The opportunity
has been one of the greatest experineces on my mission. We had the
opportunity to have Fast Sunday yesterday since stake conference is this upcoming sunday
(Elder Renlud is coming!) and it was an aweswome experience. The power
of fasting is real! Sometimes the answers don't immediately come and
sometimes they don't come in a way that we expect, but I can testify that
they DO come.
Keep it real,
