Week 59 - Costa Rica....... Say What!!!

                                                                                                                                      March 21, 2016
Well, looks like you are all having fun in Costa Rica! Can I join next time? ;) 

We've had another really good week! We saw a lot of miracles. So much that I could say and could write that I don't even know where to start! Ahh! Well, I guess I could start out by saying that, with the Lord's help (because we can't do anything without the Lord's help, especially in HIS work) we were able to achieve the Standards of Excellence this week! It was a wonderful blessing! We are working hard, and more than anything, it is neat to see the progress in those that we are working with! 

Being in a small and old branch, we've been praying a lot to find young families. Something neat is that a majority of the potentials we have, as well as many of the new investigators we've found recently have been pretty young! This week we started teaching 2 young moms! We are hoping to get their husband/boyfriends involved soon as well! We told Tiffany and Mike, our investigators, and they're pretty excited as well! :) 

We had a really good lesson with our investigator Roger this past week. (He is the 77 yr old man who is very Catholic!) We basically sat down and asked him a TON of inspired questions. Some of the things we said were probably pretty bold and direct...But, the spirit was there and we all walked away feeling good about the lesson. Roger is doing well. He is actually now progressing! He, like Bob, has a lot of concerns. But, as he has been reading from The Book of Mormon, as well as specifically praying, it seems that he has been able to resolve a lot of  his own concerns! It is cool to see the spirit working with others. I hope Bob will take some time to read and pray about it as well! The Book of Mormon and the Prophet Joseph Smith are at the hearts of our testimonies, and are almost always at the heart of any concerns any one might have. 

You know those days where you are just exhausted from everything you have done in the previous week? It's one of those days! Haha :) It's been a good week. We've been working hard and having a lot of fun while doing it. As we continue to work harder and harder, it becomes easier to be open to the small promptings of the spirit. Heavenly Father blesses us as we seek to humble ourselves and do His will! It's the best. It makes missionary work the best. I am definitely no pro at anything in missionary work.. But! Having the spirit with us makes up for that :) 

Good things are to come. It is exciting! :) Enjoy yourselves this week! Be safe! Read your scriptures often! God loves you and so do I! :)

Week 58 - I "mustache" you a question!

                                                                                                                                        March 14, 2016


To the soon to be Elder Robison in the CTM! Welcome welcome! You are going to love it here! I am so excited for you!!! President and Sister Clayton are wonderful! You are going to love them!  The CTM is headed in a wonderful direction under their guidance and direction. Get pumped for the best 2 years of your life! :) 

In other news, things are going really well here in Napanee! We've been working hard, and it is showing. This past week we were able to fill up the entire progress record! It was sweet! That basically means that we were able to see and teach a lot of people and had a lot of things to report on! First time in a while if not ever it's been that full. Miracles are taking place! This whole transfer, Sister Thomas and I have been making sure we are prayerfully setting goals and THEN making plans. We are starting to see miracles as we do this! This past week we came super close to hitting if not achieving most of our goals! I love it. I feel that we are more in tune with the spirit, more driven to work harder, and there is more of a purpose to the things that we are doing. It is neat to see the difference that setting goals and then making plans can have in the work! We had 21 lessons this past week and almost achieved all of the other standards of excellence! Those are as follows: 

Investigators- finding 2 new investigators and 2 investigators at church
New Converts- contacting all of the NC in your area, having at least 50% of your new converts at church
Returning Members- having at least one Rm at church. 

BTW, I don't know if I have mentioned this before but we now keep track of numbers for all of these categories. It's been a little crazy, but it is awesome and helpful. We have a way to track all of our progress with those we are working with. 

But, the one we fell short of was 2 investigators at church. Mike and Tiffany, our awesome investigator family, forgot to change their clocks.. Silly!  

Speaking of Mike and Tiffany, they are doing awesome! One of the nights this week, we were randomly invited over for dinner- yuumm! After, we did Family History with them! Tiffany loved it! She was so funny and so anxious to get all the information in! It was fun! ... While she was doing that, Mike pulled down this 3D pen they had. Needless to say, before we left that night, Tiffany had started her family history, and we each had a wonderful fake plastic mustache. :{D 
 We also had a good FHE with Mike and Tiffany, their LA neighbor friend that they rounded up, and some active members! We left after 20 minutes and when we followed up with the members, they remarked that they spent the next hour there just talking to and visiting with them. They talked to the Mike and Tiffany about all of their concerns and they were able to ask them questions and just bond. It was wonderful! We are excited for the progress they are making. Mike and Tiffany told our members that they know everything we've been teaching them is true. They just need sometime to overcome some Word of Wisdom concerns. We are SO excited for them! :) They'll definitely get baptized some day! All in their own time and own way. :) 

ALSO! Another miracle! We've been working with a couple- Steve and Terrilynn. Terrilynn is a member. She has been starting to come back to church! Steve is not a member but comes with Terrilynn to church every week! Terrilynn was previously married, thought she got a divore, and then got married to Steve! But, turns out their divorce didn't go through and all of this other stuff... Long story short, they can't progress in the gospel because the aren't actually married... But, this is where the miracle comes in! The ward council members were able to sit down with Terrilynn yesterday and go through different things with her and they are going to help her and Steve get everything sorted out! Yay!!! They are hoping to have it all straightened out within the next 3 months! We are so excited. We have started to reteach them both everything to help them strenghten and solidify their testimonies in preparation for the things to follow! :) 

Anyways, this week has been wonderful. We've been amazed at the different times we've been led by the spirit to those who are prepared, seeking, or even led to know what to teach those that we are working with. It's been a hard week- don't get me wrong. There was a night where we were both crying on the floor... that's another story in and of itself. But, it's been a good week! We are learning and growing and loving it! :) 

The gospel is true and its amazing! I know that Christ loves and knows each of us! He lived, died, and lives again! Because of Him, we too can live again, and even better, we can live with the ones we love for time and all eternity! :) 

I love you! Have a great week!

 Mike and Tiffany and their 3D pen mustaches! 

Sister Thomas and her Poutine! From a place called the Spud Box! We stopped there with our members after doing a Sacrament meeting service at an old folks home about a hour north of Napanee! 

-We made Jello. We were very excited :) 

-A gift we put together for Mike and Tiffany! They gave us some antique tea cups and saucers and a german beer stein with a music box in the bottom. They are random and wonderful! :) anyways, we thought we would give something back! A picture of Jesus, the Provo city center and Las Vegas temples and us with their gifts, then as well a family a proclamation to the world! Tee hee :) 

Week 57 - Mind your own biscuits and life will be Gravy!

                                                                                                                                                           March 7, 2016


Well this week has been crazy! I can't believe I've only been in Napanee for two weeks! It feels like so much longer! -which is a good thing! It's been up and down and basically all over this week! 

Some notable things:  

Tuesday morning, prior to going out, we had prayed that we would be effective with our time and achieve all of our goals. As we went out, within the first 15 minutes, all of our plans and back up plans for the morning fell through! yikes! We were supposed to have a meeting with a potential, drop by and contact a LA referral, and a few other things. Turns out we couldn't find the potential's address that he gave us and the less active member wasn't home... Sad day! So, we decided to stop by one of our returning members to drop off some family history things. As we were coming out, we got a call from a sweet old lady named Shirley! Missionaries had helped Shirley a little while back when she had her knee replaced! She recently had her other one replaced and was again in need of some more help! We immediately started heading to her house in a neighboring town about 15 minutes away. It just so happens that Shirley lives RIGHT NEXT DOOR to the potential we were looking for! Holy moly! We were stunned. It was neat. He wasn't there after when we went to stop by. She wasn't interested in hearing our message. But, it was another little sign that God is listening to and answers our prayers! :) 

Our investigators Mike and Tiffany are awesome! We are really focusing on building their faith in Christ! We also picked up their friend/roommate Ben! He is super cool and super interested! The other night, we decided to share with them the "Because He Lives" video from 2014. I wish I had a picture of their faces after. It was sweet! Mike and Ben especially loved it! It is so neat to see these three grow in the gospel! They are making leaps and bounds! Each of them come from  a past where Christ was not very prevalent. He wasn't apart of their lives at all. But, now, they are learning about him. They are praying. They are reading their scriptures. They are coming to church! It is so neat to see how the gospel, the true gospel, really changes people and families! I am so grateful to be a missioanry :) Sister Thomas and I are like 99% sure they are going to join the church! We don't know when, but someday, they will! :) 

I might have mentioned this last week, but I am the only piano player in the branch! Woot! It is good fun! The nice thing is that they don't even care if I mess up! They love it more than the tapes they were using! It is fun to help and contribute in that way! And, it always feels good to play and practice the piano hymns! I am grateful for the simplified hymns book! Chords and melody. It's my best friend! This week we will be going up North in our area for a special Sacrament Meeting with people in a retirement home. I will play there- Wednesday. Then, I will play on Friday- district meeting. Then, of course, Sunday! mmmm good times :) 

As a missionary we have secret code words we use to describe how we are doing! Green means wonderful! Yellow is okay. and then it continues down with orange and red. Well, Friday, sister Thomas and I were both definitely Orange... Niether of us are completely sure what spurred it.. It just came. We basically halted our missionary work. We had to sit and talk through the things each of us were feeling (side note: it wasn't a struggle within our companionship. We get along really really well! Sometimes it feels like we are the same person... But, just each had personal struggles... (: ) we took time to individually pray and read some scriptures and other resources we have to pull from as a missionary, and so forth. Ultimately, we both came to the same conclusion. We need Christ! We need to depend on Him more. 

*Warning, I might go a little King Benjamin* But, you see, missionary work is so cool. SO COOL! Why? Because it's not even our work! It's the Lord's! It is so so so easy to get caught up in numbers and "look at everything I did" but in all reality, we as missionaries do next to nothing. I mean, yes, we play an important part, but it is the Lord and the Spirit that guide the work and do all the converting! As a missionary, I am just the mouth piece! It is also cool because the work is so much bigger than just you and I! So much more! Working in the branch is challenging, but also fun. Heavenly Father has such great plans for this area, and it is searching out how to help. What more can we do? What does the branch/  active member/ less active member/ investigator need? and so on. The work is so much larger than me. There is so much more to it. I know that there is a reason I am here serving in this area, serving with my wonderful companion Sister Thomas. I know there are things that we need to do here! And, it might just be laying ground work, and that's okay! As long as we continue to rely on Christ, and strive to do His work and His will, we can take heart knowing that we have been successful as we have been about Our Father's business. I will stop my rambles. But, it was neat. I needed to be reminded of whom I needed to have my faith in. Who I need to turn to when things get rough. Who is really in charge of the work. And, it has helped a lot. Christ is great. I am grateful! 

Recently I was asked what my favorite thing about being a missionary is, and I thought I might share! My favorite thing about being a missionary is listening to and following the promptings of the Spirit to help others. It is the neatest thing. To be able to see and know that in this great work, Heavenly Father finds a way to work through imperfect people to bless the lives of others! I love knowing that I can communicate with Heavenly Father, receive revelation, and then act upon it to help others. That is my favorite thing about being a missionary. :) 

Well, I probably rambled a lot... I don't know if all my thoughts make sense... but, none the less, I hope you enjoy! :) I love you all! I am so grateful for all your love and support! Remember that Christ is there. He reaches our reaching! He loves us. On March 13th, check out the Easter Website for this year! The video is, as usual, awesome and inspiring! :) 

I love being a missionary! It is always up and down and up and down, but it's great. I love doing the Lord's work! God bless!

Week 56 - Hello from the Greater Napanee!

                                                                                                                                                       February 29, 2016

New Address:

151 Industrial Blvd #17 
Napanee, ON
K7R 3Y4
Hello hello family and friends! :) 

This past week has been quite the whirlwind! Monday I was in Bracebridge. By Tuesday evening I was in Napanee! By Friday night I was in Oshawa, spent the next day there, and then back to Napanee Saturday night so we could prep for Church the following morning! In total, I have spent 3 full days in my new area this past week! haha, it's been awesome! :) 

Napanee is a quaint place! It is indeed a branch! On average we get around 20-30 people at church. It is so different than anything I have experienced before, but it is fun! There are some really awesome members here! A majority of the members are older. There is a small primary, and no YM/YW. Count your blessings for living in a place where the church is strong! Although the Branch is smaller than any I've been in, the area is larger than any I've been in! That seems to be a reoccurring trend eh? :) But! Fun note, I am the only piano player in the Branch! They are excited to have me! And, I am excited to be there! Another fun note, the Napanee apartment has a keyboard! So, each morning, and throughout the day, we play hymns and sing and it is joyous! :) Last night we had a fun jam sesh. I played the piano and Sister Thomas played the guitar. All Hymns of course, but it was fun. Good to be playing often again! :) 

Ryan is right, it is not a super high baptizing area, but, that does not mean it is not a baptizing area! In the Canada Toronto Mission, we have faith and trust that we can have at least one true convert baptism in each area each transfer! And, although it is small, I truly believe it can happen in this area this transfer! 

With all of that being said, we are working with some pretty wonderful investigators! We are working with a family! Mike and Tiffany! They are in their late 20's and have two adorable kids! They are so fun. We saw them a ton this week! There biggest struggle is the Word of Wisdom. With a history of being drug addicts, smoking and coffee seem like a good place to be! But, we are working on it. By small and simple means are great things brought to pass! They have a great foundational testimony of the church, and it is just working on building that! 

We have another fun investigator I want to tell you about! His name is Roger. Roger is 77 years old, and he is from England! He is very Catholic. He attends Mass every day but Sunday. That is when he is at church with us! (With he exception of last Sunday since he was in Toronto on business.. :( ) BUT! He is fun! He has told missionaries before about how he will be sitting in Catholic Mass and miss something that he was supposed to do because he was too busy pondering and thinking about the Sacrament! haha, he's great! I haven't actually been able to meet him yet, but I have heard a lot of good things and had some good interactions via cell phone! I am excited to work with him though. We are striving to help him get a witness! 

We have many other cool investigators and returning members that I will have to talk about later! This area is blessed! 

A few notes on my companion! Sister Thomas! She is awesome! She is 21 and is from Provo (aka the factory)! She is just awesome. I cannot say any more! She came out with Sister Edwards (actually, she was her MTC comp!), and is coming up on 6 months! This is transfer #5 for her. Transfer #5 seems to always be a magical transfer, so it's gonna be good! We get along really well, and even better, we work really well together! We go about missionary work in the same way and it is delightful! We are working on having a language of faith in all that we do! (It was actually one of the focuses from the exchanges I went on on Saturday!) A Language of Faith can be so powerful! Our attitude and outlook on things has a huge impact on our area and our success both as missionaries, and as every day average members in the church. I am really excited for this transfer. We have an extra week, and an extra day (being it Feb 29th) to see so many miracles here in Napanee! Plus, we also have Easter and General Conference! Needless to say, I am really excited and looking forward to this transfer. Miracles are going to happen! :) 

Well, as usual, I am running out of time! I am good though, mom, I don't need anything! Justin and Kara, you are awesome and I love you! Nate and Maddy, keep up the good work! (is that how you spell maddy?) And Nate, ideas for how to work well with a small branch?! Kelly and Karly, I love you! :) Dad, I will do my best to be a BYU fan when I get home! I quite enjoyed it before, so I imagine it will be easy to get back into! ;) I love you all! Remember who you are!

Week 55 - Give Him Your All

                                                                                                                                     Feb 22, 2016

Well, transfer night is always so suspenseful. We basically sat around by the phone from 9 pm-10:30 pm. And guess what! No call came! We were so happy! :) And then we got up in the morning and our dear District Leader suggested we call the Zone Leaders. The Zone Leaders in turn suggested we hang tight and maybe wait for a call from the Assistants. And, then, the news came. Sister Meleisea and Cliften will be staying in Bracebridge! I, on the other hand, will be going to Napanee! In the Kingston Zone. It's the far East Zone. I've never been out that way, so I'm not quite sure what to expect... So, we shall see! :) 

Sister Meleisea has been doing okay. The medicine that we got from the Doc in the box helps. It is very useful! She takes it at the on-set of the migraine. We got only enough for 4 migraines last Tuesday, and she's already used it all. So, we are going back today to get the rest. (We might have to put it on my credit card and have the mission pay me back... So, if you see any charges, that would be why!) MIRACLE for the week! The Doc in the Box said she would try referring Sister Meleisea to a few Neurologist, but usually they have a waiting period of at least 6 months... Well,  a few days later we got a call from the walk-in-clinic saying that Sister Meleisea has an appointment to see one on March 24th! We are so grateful! 

Leading up to transfers we were all so nervous. No matter what happened, we were just praying that Sister Meleisea would stay with one of us. Things would just be better and easier that way. Having someone who knows exactly what she is going through and what has happened and so forth. Growing up in Samoa, she isn't used to medication. Sometimes it is still a little hard to communicate what she is feeling with the language differences. Long story short, it is just so good that they are staying together. I am so so grateful! 

This week was more of taking it a little easier. Yesterday, besides church, we spent the entire day inside making up studies and letting Sister Meleisea sleep since she got another migraine. Our two appointments ended up canceling for various reasons, but it was probably for the better. We were able to take it easy,  and Sister Meleisea didn't have to push through anything. 

God knows us so well. I have had too many experiences to deny Him and His son. I am so so grateful to know them in my life. I don't want to even think about life without the gospel! 

Well, it is official. I am in the last 4 transfers of the mission. Time is going so fast. So so so fast. It makes me so sad. But, on the flip side, it is empowering. I have 6 more months to devote all I can to serving God. Throughout this past week, especially going to the 6 week follow up meeting, and being in the Temple for a session, I have been thinking, pondering, and praying about what I can do to dedicate myself to the work, and other goals I need to set. It has been good. The 6 week follow up meeting was one of the best things. We talked about consecration, what it entails, what it means, and the blessings that come. It was an answer to prayers! Ultimately though, I just want to do more. Work harder. Focus more attention on those that we are serving. I am grateful to be going to a new area. It will be helpful! I can just throw myself into everything and learn as quickly as possible. I am going to miss Bracebridge so much! But, I know that Napanee is where I need to be. Bracebridge is in such good hands and I know that the area is going to continue to build and blossom. 

Well my friends, God Speed! Have a good week, go to church, read your scriptures, and pray. I can promise you blessings! 

Give Him your all.

Week 54 - This Damp Cold!

                                                                                                                                           Feb 16, 2016

To be honest, I don't even really remember the beginning of the week! I am pretty sure it was pretty normal... Going about from appointment to appointment. Dreading the fact that it is week five out of six, and knowing that in a few weeks, one of us will probably be leaving the area... As well as knowing that after this transfer, I only have 4 left... SCARY! ... But! As I say, everything was pretty normal. We had a pretty cold week and got a good amount of snow throughout- bonus was it covered all the ice we usually slip on! :) But, we strived to find more and more inside and productive activities as the week went on since it got colder and colder, and wetter and wetter until it finally reached the terrifying -40! And I must say, that is without accounting for windchill. It was straight up -40 on Sunday morning! Here is something that would never happen in Vegas! Bishop called us at 7:30 to let us know Church was going to be canceled. It was too cold, lots of cars weren't even starting, and the power was cutting in and out. Safety first, so no Sacrament for us this week! 

Something spiritual: This past week I have started to work on memorizing The Living Christ! I love it! As I have been doing so, I have found more of my thoughts and actions turning towards the Savior. This has begun to change my missionary work in a way I cannot really describe. It has helped me to gain a greater love for Him and His gospel and that has started to turn over into the work. I am excited to keep on going! I am working on the first 4 paragraphs (using the thing we got from girls camp some years ago...). So, that is what I will be ponderizing this week! :) You can join me, or do something completely different! Up to you! :) 

 So, gotta go! Love you! Have a good week! Stay warm! I think we will- it's supposed to be a warmer one.

PS! Look at the ENSIGN page 56! Tell me what you see! If I am not mistaking, it is Kelly Trump! :) Teehee! If you also go onto LDS.org and scroll down to the very bottom, I think you see her picture there too! She is famous ! :D

Week 53 - Another Week, Another Letter!

                                                                                        February 8, 2016
Yellow! That time again eh? :) 

This week was really good. Full of a lot of tender mercies and miracles. The work here in this area continues to climb upward! This week, we were able to achieve the Standards of Excellence in lessons! We had 22 total lessons with investigators, returning members, and active members! It was neat! We worked hard, prayed hard, and watched the miracles come! 

This week, we've been able to see a lot of progress made with our investigator Ashley! She is so cute! Probably around Kara's age- late 20's. She has 2 kids- 1 boy at a year and a half, and 1 girl at 3 months. As you can imagine, they keep her pretty busy! But, with it all, she is still finding time to read the chapters we are leaving her, and keep her other commitments! She  even came to church for all 3 hours this past Sunday with her sick baby! Dedication right there. All she wants out of life is to draw closer to her Savior. We are so excited and blessed to help her get there! There will definitely be some obstacles to overcome, but we know she can do it! And we are excited to help her! 

We've also been able to meet more with Leslie and Kyle and Eva! (I believe I told you about them last week?) And, this week, we were finally able to meet Randy! The boyfriend/partner! Leslie's family has been going through some hard things lately with Leslie's mother. She has become very ill. What is neat though is that Leslie recognizes us as servants of the Lord. As she has been going through this hard time, she has had a greater desire to have us over to talk and bring peace. It is interesting to see how the Lord is preparing the hearts of the people all around us to receive the gospel. Sometimes He has to cut us down in order to help us become stronger. 

We had yet another missionary meeting this week- this time in North Bay, a neighboring area. The drive was only 1 hour and 45 minutes as opposed to 3 hours, so we were happy! At the start of the meeting, I was pondering on what questions I should have. Two came to mind and I wrote them down. Throughout the meeting, I was able to receive specific answers to both! I am so grateful. As we bring questions to meetings and open our heart, I know we can find answers! 

After the meeting, we got mail! Yay! I was happy to see a letter from a returning member in Welland. As I read it, I was almost brought me to tears! Her name is Sister Brant. When I first came to Welland, she was on the ward focus list. Many ward members had expressed efforts of trying to help and reach out, but nothing was going much of anywhere. For the first couple of months, my companions and I found the same thing. However, we all continued to be persistent. As time went on, things started to change. I am so happy to say that in her letter, she let me know that she is reading her scriptures and attending church regularly, and is almost done with the Book of Mormon for the first time! She is also preparing to go to the temple on March 1st to do baptisms for her relatives on the other side. I am so happy and excited for her. 

I think I might have also failed to mention that our other returning member from Welland, Sister Simpson, had the chance to go to the temple a few weeks ago for the first time as well! And, if you can recall, right before Sister Edwards and I left Welland, we had found 2 new and progressing investigators. Well, they were passed off to the YSA elders after we left, and one of them ended up getting baptized by the end of the transfer! Often times, I don't think we (or at least I) realize how the small things we do can help to change someone's life. I am so grateful for the time that I had to spend in Welland and help these wonderful people draw closer to their savior. 

Dad asked me to share a story about day to day life in Bracebridge. Well, this is what came to mind! The weather here has been a little wonky lately... We've had a good deal of rain during the day, and then at night it all freezes over. It makes for great fun as we are walking around throughout the day! We all probably look like penguins as we waddle from door to door or appointment to appointment, just trying not to slip on all the ice! And yet, as hard as we try, we can't always avoid it. We were coming out of an Active Member Lesson and heading to our car when Sister Cliften slipped on the ice and landed on the ground. Sister Meleisea and I naturally started laughing, and then Sister Meleisea also lost her balance, slipped, and fell. It made everything even funnier :) Don't worry, I didn't also slip and fall- I became more determined than ever to make it to the car without slipping which I did. It was just one of those classic moments. :)  

Missionary work is the very best. I am so grateful for this time that I have. It is so short and so precious. It'll be a year tomorrow that I came to Canada. Strange. I don't feel like it has been that long! I still usually don't feel like I know what I am doing as a missionary. Just fake it until you make it, and follow the promptings of the spirit. :) There are times I get overcome with all of my weaknesses, how tough things might seem, and how inadequate I am, but I am always gently reminded of Our Savior. He did it all. He knows it all. Continuing to turn to Him on my knees has blessed my life greatly. I am grateful for Him. 

I love you. I pray for you. Have a good week!
