Saying goodbye to Carlee Ash, She leaves for Spain this week. |
We left the Provo MTC at 5 in the morning ,
and it was the most hectic journey to the airport ever! We had to carry
all our luggage ( 3 suitcases) on two different trains and get it all off
in two minutes. So we made an assembly line chucking things all over the place to be
fast enough. It was the longest day.

We are excited to be going!, even though it is 5am. |

We made it to Toronto and there
were five Canadians and the rest were American. Then we waited an hour
and a half for them to get through immigration so Sis Smith and I
pulled everything off the bag pickup, and put it all on trolleys. We
finally had everyone through and went out to meet Pres & Sis Shields. They
are so great! Then we waited for the APs to pick us up to load the luggage, but the
people wouldn't let them park, and told us we needed a permit. So again we
waited and they got one, but then they ended up not even needing one, so he
argued with this lady for like an hour telling her they have been doing
it for the last 25 years and have never needed a permit! But anyways that made us late getting to Brampton. Then we had the best meal ever! Later we had a quick
meeting and went to bed.
Monday
we got our trainers and it was hard to say goodbye to my sisters and
elders from the MTC. Our elders finally made it to Texas this week so
they are excited to be serving.

Hard to say goodbye to my Comp. Sis Anderson and my other two roomates, Sis. Smith and Maires. |
|
My trainer is Sister Skeen from Bountiful, Utah! She is so great, positive and very encouraging so
it's been a great week!
|
With my new Trainer Sis Skeen |
|
Here is all the new Greenies in Brampton! We're ready! |
|
Pres and Sis Shields. My Mission Pres! |
I'm serving in Stratford! The area is huge, so
it's alot of travel and not a lot of kilometers, so we have to use them
wisely. Our branch here is tiny, it's like 20 people. There used to be
about 100, but lots moved when the economy got rough. So the work here is
good. We have quite a few investigators and a few with baptismal dates,
and a few that are working towards it.
It has been pretty cold the last
week and it poured yesterday.
|
We are wet! |
|
Pouring outside! |
Then on my first day here, we were street
contacting downtown and found this guy named Justin. He was super
awesome and looking for something more in his life, so agreed to meet
with us. Only he had just moved to Stratford and doesn't have a phone plan yet,
so we didn't get a number and since then have been looking for him ever since. We parked at our spot outside our apartment and there is a park across from the apartment and I
thought I saw him. So we went up to this guy and he looked similar to Justin but it wasn't him, We talked to him for a half hour. He was
having a rough day and was just walking around, then says "This is
so Random".
Then I was so blunt to him and said; " Sometimes God just puts things in our path that we don't even know we need."
Sister Skeen was kinda like uhh, "So do you believe in God"?
Then we
talked to him for a half hour, and talked about how much coming to know
God can bless your life. We are meeting with Slade on Thursday. We asked him if he would like to learn more and he was like, " If I say yes what does that mean?"
It was kinda funny, and he was a bit shocked about how random it was, but
it was so cool. He was like "I've never really thought about it and I've got an open mind so sure!"
So I'm really excited.
The branch here is really great! Though they're tiny, but mighty!
This week is going to be great!
Love you all bye!
