We were part of a cop's statement!

We were part of a cop's statement!

Hey Everyone!

It's been a week full of miracles!

1. We got a referral from our investigator Melissa. So we went to drop by and her neighbour was outside. We started talking to her, and she wanted to know why there are so many different churches. So we talked to her about that and about the Book of Mormon. We asked if we could meet with her and she said; "Yes", but she was pretty busy except for right now.

So we were like; "Well we are free if you want to do it now." So we went into her backyard and taught her the Restoration. It was awesome!

We are meeting with her again today. We stopped by the other day, again to see the referral, she wasn't home. But Amanda was outside, and was like; "Can I get another book of Mormon? My son took mine and started reading it. " That was pretty Awesome!

So beautiful!

2. We have been reading the book of Mormon with Melissa a few times a week. The other day Angel wanted to read with us too. She is 10. Melissa was a bit hesitant just because she thought Angel would be slow. But it was amazing, she did great, and now she is encouraging her mom to read more with her!

3. We were street contacting downtown, and we met these two guys, and we were talking to them about the Book of Mormon outside this store, and how it is another testament of Jesus Christ. This lady walked out of the store, and said; "Move along this is private property," to the one guy we are talking to. We moved down a little bit. But we were just on the sidewalk which is public. Then she came back out and said; "You are barred from her, move or I'll call the cops." We moved down but she called anyway. So when the cop showed up, we talked to him with this guy, saying we are just talking about the Bible and Book of Mormon, and that she just came out and yelled for no reason. He was like okay. He went in and talked to the lady and came back out. He was like; "Yeah just try not to stand in front of the store, it makes her uncomfortable." It was kind of funny. But we set an appointment with them and left. They never showed up, but we ended up running into the one who seemed more interested last night, and had a good conversation with him. So we are excited to meet with him this week!

This week has been pretty awesome! We had some really cool miracles, so that was pretty exciting!

Alberta Crew! Sis Gillingham & Sis. St. Onge Elder Earl is on the right and a cousin

1.) We met this guy a few weeks ago, and talked to him on his doorstep for like an hour. Ended up giving him a book of Mormon and our card. Well guess what? He called us the other day, and asked us if we could some service for him. He owns a few houses around Simcoe, and rents them out, but he is like 70, so we went with him to do some weeding. While we were weeding, he started asking about the Word of Wisdom, and he thinks it's amazing that we live it, and he wants to to haha! He also took us out for lunch after, so that was nice!

Service for Bro Scott haha

2.) Gregory came to church on Sunday, and Sister Gillingham was giving a talk on recognizing the whispering s of the spirit. She told this story about the Atonement and he cried. The spirit was so strong, and after he asked for a blessing, because he is having surgery this week. But he asked some of the men before church. He told us things are happening, and we are meeting with him tomorrow!

3.) We have been meeting with Melissa quite a few times a week, and the other day we taught her the Word of Wisdom. After we talked to her about if she had prayed, to know that the things were true. She asked if she needed to pray because she already believes all the things we have taught her are true, and she has been seeing the changes in her life, and in her family. Also that her faith is growing. We told her she still needed to pray because that's how she would really know that the things we are teaching are true. But it was an amazing experience! We got to teach her about temples on Saturday too, and she was so excited. She wants to be sealed to her family and feel of the peace that comes from the temple. So that was awesome!

It's true, the temple is truly the place Heavenly Father has prepared for us, so we can be with our Families for eternity! There is so much peace, and so many blessings that come from entering the Temple!

Lynn Wood trail! Sketchy sign that says there is tics at the beginning. It freaked us out!

Hey Everyone!

Great week! Here are some highlights!
1.) Our investigator Melissa and Brandon. Have really started reading the Book of Mormon and are loving it! We don't get to see Brandon as often, but Melissa invited us to come read with her one evening, and all her friends where there. We got there and she was like so. "The Bible anyone have any thoughts on it?" It was awesome! Then we read with her from the Book of Mormon, in front of them all, and after her friend was like: "Yeah I was listening. I'll think about it."
Then Brandon came home and he was like; "What did you teach Melissa today? How come you never read with me?"
We were like; "You're never home!" So we read another chapter with both of them!

Lesson with Tina

2.) I had exchanges with Sis. Kim, she is from Korea! She is amazing! We had an awesome day in Hamilton. We taught this one guy they had met, the Restoration, and it was so powerful. He is also an actor and has been on a bunch if T.V. shows, so that was pretty cool. He has had some amazing experiences that have really lead him to God in his life!
