06/05/2018 - Working, Praying and Fasting...And the Lord Provides

Well what a week. Holy crow. (yes that is a common saying up her in Canada)

Anyway. I can't begin to recount what happened this week. But I will fill you in on the highlights. First off. We were working SOO hard this week. We were grinding and really striving to find. It was good. And the Lord blessed us. But we also over did it. A little physically. Haha, we started doing insanity friday night, it kicked my butt. Then saturday we rode bikes all day and did insanity again that evening. Lets just say I can barely walk again. I haven't been that sore in a long time. But the real highlights were when we drove down to Lethbridge on Wednesday for MLC…President's last MLC. I will miss President Miles so much! It was so touching to hear his last testimony at an MLC and see the love they both have for the work and for us. It was awesome. Also weird, all the sister missionaries who came out with me go home this transfer. 


05/29/2018 - Final MLC with President and Sister Miles

Skip a few days and we were biking. Seeking to find people to teach and the Lord blessed us with a dope miracle. We were going and I took a wrong turn and took us up a huge hill. We had to turn around and on our way down a lady asks us for help. She needed help pumping up her bike tires. So we took her to a gas station across the street. Turns out her bike tire needed the smaller attachment instead of the regular one. Well, last week I found a road bike in our apartment and went out and bought that type of pump for it. So we had the right pump and helped her out and she wants to meet with us now! Miracle!! It was so cool. Then Sunday night we swung by a guy we found on Saturday who kinda said sure come back Sunday. Which usually doesn't turn out, but we taught him lesson one and picked up a new investigator!! It is truly what that ward and us needed, to be honest. We had been working, praying and fasting to find someone and the Lord provides. He was a very Christian individual and loves Christ, he’s married and has a cool dog. We are excited to teach him more and he was excited about eternal families and the Book of Mormon. So that was the best!. 

And on monday we had a zone meeting where we presented a training and went to lunch after with Brother Johnson in our ward. It was so cool! Bro Johnson got home from his mission last Wednesday and he was ready to go out with us haha, so we went to subway and he got 2 other guys to come with us. Both were RM's of about 1 month. Haha. (Bro Johnson’s dad is in our bishopric, he is a fly fishing guide. Lets just say we get along really well, he wants to take me out)  Well as you can imagine it was super fun and we talked to everyone at the subway about the church. Bro Johnson bought lunch for a guy who needed it and we taught him quite a bit about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon as we ate and we also gave him one. I Invited him to church and we also gave away a pamphlet and our number to the employees there. It was a good day. 

But I am most excited for the next week. It is going to be awesome, we have interviews Thursday with President, our last ones. Then we have the Prophet on Saturday and Elder Rasband!! We are so blessed and I am so excited. But I hope you all know that I know that Our Savior is there. He loves each of us. And right when we feel we are alone is the moment he always helps us out. So if you feel that way, please turn to Christ! Gotta go!
