Hey friends and family!
Thursday is my year mark. SAY WHAT?! I cannot believe that this has gone by so quickly! I have LOVED my mission, the good, the bad, the learning that I have done, and the lives that I have seen affected by the gospel. I am so grateful for everything that I have been a part of during my service as a missionary, this gospel is true, the church is true, and I am honored by the privilege of spreading that great message!
This past week was wonderful, the first and foremost blessing being the fact that T was baptized in Kenora! I am so grateful that he continued to progress to the waters of baptism, and that I was able to participate in a huge portion of his teaching. It is incredible to see the change of heart that has taken place in his life since we first met him, the gospel has truly changed his life forever. What a wonderful blessing. The rest of the week was really busy, we had two trips to Winnipeg to prepare for a presentation that was given in a world religion's class to 15 students and 5... skeptical visitors (pastors) :), and It was a really incredible experience! I loved the opportunity to testify to each of those individuals and tell them that I knew the gospel of Jesus Christ was restored and that it could bless their life. They each left with a copy of The Book of Mormon, and I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to spread that message in that setting.
Please keep E and L in your prayers, they are having a hard time with church attendance and keeping the word of wisdom, and we really want them to meet their date of june 28th. Also J, that she can overcome push-back from friends and family; J, that he can recognize God's love in his life and be willing to act.
