Hello my sweet family and friends! Happy Christmas! I can't believe that this
week is already Christmas! I mean wasn't it just American Thanksgiving like 2
days ago!!!!????!!!!! Not fair!!!!!!! Any who let me give you the update!

Sister Layton has left the area :( sad day for us all but she was excited so
that is okay. She is serving in Taber now as an STL so I will see her at MLCs
which is super exciting! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

new companion is.... drumroll..... SISTER CONNORS!!!!!! She has been out for 10
months and came out with Sister Kendrick. She served in the West of Calgary and
then down in a little town called Magrath. She is from... Murrieta, CALIFORNIA.
NOT UTAH! So I still have only had 2 companions from Utah AND 0 from Idaho! Sweet!
Okay not that exciting but still sweet! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

week really has been crazy! With Sister Layton being here for 6 months she had
a lot to pack and a lot of people to say good bye to. It is always sad, but
still super fun and exciting. We got to see Shannon this week before she
finished school and then her mom agreed to come with us to the Nativity Pageant
last night which was amazing (as always). This is the last year that our stake
is in charge of the Pageant and they really did a great job. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

moved his baptismal date to the 2nd of January which is SOOOO EXCITING! We have
the stake center all booked, his brother will be here and he will be
prepared! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

then that it has been a pretty normal week. We have been doing a lot of finding
and contacting, but because it is Christmas a lot of appointments are falling
through. BUT that is okay and we are still having fun and trying. I am grateful
for this time of year to be able to grow in my understanding of my Savior. I am
grateful that Heavenly Father is aware of my needs and the needs of those
around me and am glad that I have seen so many wonderful things. This upcoming
week should be great and I hope that all of you have a wonderful Christmas! Be
Safe! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

:(... Sister Layton is leaving me to go to the south of the mission... my guess
is that she will go either to Cardston or Medicine Hat (which I would love)...
but I am rEEEAaaaalllLLLyyyyy going to miss her. Luckily we live in the same state
and are going home at the same time so it won't be too big of an issue. I just
hope that because she is going south that I will see her again before we
leave. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

where the fun begins) We have had dinner with our member Sister Anderson before
and she promised us that next time we have dinner at her house she is making
Jamaican food... which includes.... wait for it.... GOAT!!!!!! We had goat curry!
It is actually really good and I wasn't sure that I would like it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Escargot! The Guidis are an French/Italian couple in our ward and they always
make great food. She wanted to make us a traditional holiday meal so we had a
four course meal of Escargot, Cappelini in Bouillon, Lamb steak, (a cheese
course with both Italian and French cheese) and Pie... Blueberry pie. I love
them. They are so missionary minded and the are the couple that have been
helping us with Eddy. The best! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Last week we got a
phone call from a lady named Shelby. She has a friend that is LDS and she
needed some help getting to the food bank and back so she called us up and we
set up a member who could go with us to take her and talk to her about the
gospel. Tuesday was the day! Sister Bauer drove us all to the Food Bank and we
got to see what it was like to be on the other side of the conveyor belt for
once. Shelby and her kids are allergic to gluten so she got special foods, but
got the food that she needed. Sister Bauer was a great fellow shipper as she
has a lot in common with Shelby and on our way home we talked a lot about her
beliefs and what she knew about the church. We are hoping to be able to sit
down with her this week before transfers! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We also have been in
contact with Kory and Catherine a couple of other potential investigators who
are really struggling financially right now. It has been really great to
support them and gain a relationship with them and they have taught me a lot
about trusting in the Lord. They said that they might come to church this
upcoming Sunday, so hopefully they can make it out. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

District meeting this week. I am really going to miss this district as most of
them are getting transferred but I am super proud because most of the Elders in
our district have just come out and they are all training a new missionary this
transfer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On Thursday we did
another round of Christmas wrapping in the mall. It is always a fun time but
this time we didn't have another set of missionaries with us we had two
volunteers. Their names were Shelby and Lina. It was great talking with them
and we got into a natural conversation about religion. One was super into
Christianity and the other was Chinese so it was great to hear about their
cultural. I love Sister Layton because she is always looking for chances to
share what she knows and she was trying to get them to ask questions so that
she could share and by the end of the day we had only wrapped 5 presents (it
wasn't busy at all), but we had taught the Plan of Salvation to them so that
was amazing. I really felt the spirit and hope that it helped them start off
the Christmas season right! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Heavenly Father keeps helping us find new less-actives to teach. Seriously I
think we found a least a new one every week... Hmm... well I am okay with
that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to the Calgary Tower and had lunch as a district! The tower has a restaurant at
the top that looks out over the city and it rotates as you eat so you can see
the city from everyside. The picture on the top consists of some of my area...
including the bit of downtown that we cover. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

asked us as a district to sing at their ward Christmas party... which as so
happened to be a ward Christmas lunch. We sang Oh Come All Ye Faithful and it
went pretty well. Elder Linford who covers wildwood was on the Voice and so
that whole ward has been pretty hyped on missionaries singing. It went well. I
think that this zone has been the most musical zone I have ever been in which I
love! We also got to sing for the Stake Musical Fireside which was great. We
sung the First Noel and because Elder Clabaux is French we sang the first verse
in French. We also sang with the Stake Choir. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Crazy things going on here in the city of Calgary or as many people call it the YYC (apparently that is the Airport sign for Calgary... I don't know but it has become really popular here). This week has been pretty sweet with our zone training meetings in the North and in our own Zone. We had quite the week and ended up going up to Airdrie for some splits with Sister Durrant and Sister Pipkin. We have a lot of things that are going to happen this coming week which includes quite a few potential investigators as well as a Stake Christmas musical fireside. We also had a Hot Chocolate Stand on Saturday as a zone and handed out the #asaviorisborn cards for the new Christmas video this year. (If you haven't seen it, please go to <a href="http://christmas.mormon.org/" target="_blank">christmas.mormon.org</a>)! </div>

Our ward Christmas party was this week and it was crazy. There were so many family members and friends and nonmembers there that there had to be two extra tables set up. I didn't really know where to start when it came to talking to people but we had Eddy (our investigator there) as well as 3 less-actives and some friends. Heavenly Father is really opening the opportunities for us in this area. I love that he is helping us to see that their are chances to testify all around us if we just take them. Other then that this week was pretty normal. We still went to the food bank and weekly planned but it did have some Christmas flare on it with Ginderbread houses during our dinner appointments and Christmas devotionals and Choir practices. I am grateful for this season that I have to focus on my Savior. I really have a desire to strengthen my testimony of Christ so that I can continue to live according to His will for the rest of my life and I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for giving me this chance. </div>

There are going to be some pretty crazy things going on this next transfer. We had a complete stake change happen in Calgary this past week. Our stake didn't get changed at all, but there was a whole new stake created and all of the other stakes were rearranged! Crazy! I am grateful for the chance that I have had to serve with Sister Layton and as a missionary. I hope that you all have a great week and that you know how much I love you. Don't forget the reason for the season! </div>

Family and Friends! As always... WHAT A WEEK! I still truly love it here in the
glorious Calgary area. Every day I get to look at the beautiful skyline of
Calgary, walk up breathtaking (literally) hills, and work with and serve
amazing people in this area. I couldn't feel more blessed to be spending this
time in this area. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We went to the Guidi's
(our Italian/French) family for Dinner on Tuesday. It was beautiful outside...
about 5 degrees so Sister Layton and I didn't even wear a coat just a light
sweater. When we got there Sister Guidi met us at the top of the outside stairs
(they live in the basement) and told us in her awesome French accent that we
better go see what Brother Guidi is doing. So we walked over to a fire pit that
Brother Guidi was standing by and Sister Layton asked "What are you making
Brother Guidi" his response... (in his amazing Italian accent)
"Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire"! So I have now tried roasted
Chestnuts and I must say they are quite good. We had a traditional french meal
that day including a cheese platter before Dessert! As we went to leave Sister
Guidi asked us if we needed coats and we said that it was beautiful outside and
then we walked out and saw that we were smack dab in the middle of a snow
storm.... you think that I would have remembered that Calgary is the most
bipolar when it comes to weather... It was a great night with a great lesson
with Shannon and Bishop and then ending with getting stuck on a hill by our
house. The elders had to come rescue us.... it was great!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Wednesday we had our
Arm Activity (Additional Relief Society Meeting) which was a fun Christmas
dinner. It was awesome because we had three less-actives, a ward missionary and
a visiting teacher to one of the less-actives all at our table! It was great!
We had a great time and have appointments set with 2 of the 3 less-actives this
week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As always we helped
out at the Food Bank this week! It was awesome! As I was helping someone out to
their car I chatted with him and he said that our churches are Beautiful. He
was from Nigeria and as I got talking to him I offered for the Sisters in his
area (which happen to be some of the Sisters that we serve) to get in touch
with him. He said yes and I gave him our number to call if he had any
questions. Even though we go to the food bank to serve, I still love being able
to share my testimony with people and help them to remember the love of
God. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">That night we went to
our dinner appointment and had an awesome miracle! We had the chance to help
make dinner for Sister Redfern and Sister Dow. They heard that I like to make
Fried Rice so that is was Sister Layton and I cooked... however we didn't
realize that when we got there that the rice that she gave us was Brown rice
and it takes 45 minutes to cook... but we didn't have that time do to a lesson
with Eddy later. So if response we did what any missionary would do and said a
prayer.... AND THE RICE COOKED IN 30 MINUTES INSTEAD OF 45!!!!!! Ha! Who says
prayers aren't answered! We had a great lesson with Eddy that night and then
drove up to the North to go on exchanges with our Hermanas (the Spanish
Sisters!). I went up again to the North to stay with Hermana Dean and we had a
great time learning from each other. She is one firecracker missionary only
being out for 3 months in the field. It is kind of cool because when we decided
who is going where for an exchange we do a lot of praying and a lot of
thinking. Normally we don't have a lot of trouble, but this week we couldn’t
decide until right before the exchange. I had originally thought that I would
be staying in the area with Hermana Dean and Sister Layton would go to the
North with Hermana Ratliff, but we still had some confusion until we decided
that I would be going to the North and Sister Layton would stay here....and it
felt right! It is crazy that Heavenly Father really means to study it out in
your minds and then ask if it be right because I know that I had thought it out
and I felt off when I asked but I was too stubborn to think that I could be
wrong. Moroni 10:3-5, be humble, ask God if the thoughts and feelings you have
are not true and then listen for the Holy Ghost... God will tell you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sunday was unlike any
other Sunday. All of Canada this weekend didn't have church but watched instead
the Montreal Temple Dedication! So now I have been to two! It was a special
experience and we had both a less-active and recent convert come! I loved it!
We also made dinner for a potential investigator with one of our ward
missionaries Sister Brule (Spaghetti and Pudding with crushed Candy Cane!) and
took it over. Kory and Katherine were a referral from a member in the Foothills
stake and they just moved it from Edmonton. They are struggling but were so
nice and accepted the invitation for us to come back this week for a message.
They are the sweetest and I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ will really
bless their lives. It has been a good week with many miracles! I hope that all
of you Americans have an amazing Thanksgiving Day on Thursday! Thank you so
much for all that you do! I love you! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

a great week for you! I will be praying for you as well on the direction that
you should take. I agree though... no Jensen ever needs to be involved in
Politics. I get Sarah's emails every once in a while. It is nice to hear how
she is doing and it is weird to me that she has already been out as long as she
has. I really enjoy serving as a missionary and would never exchange the things
that I have learned here. In the words of President Hinckley "It remains
the best and most productive 2 years of my life...still". This week was
full of amazing things and lessons. We did two trainings this week; One up in
the North Zone for our Sisters, and one in our own Zone. It is amazing to see
the hand in the Lord as you pray and ask for guidance on what to do. We also
spent a lot of time at the Temple of Thursday (see mom's email for more info).
On Friday we had Zone Conference's with President Miles and the Foothills zone.
I got to see Sister Kendrick, Wagstaff, and Allard again which is always fun. I
really enjoy having President and Sister Miles in our mission. The work is
improving and our mission is becoming even better than before. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Exchanges with the Airdrie Sisters. I went up to Airdire with Sister Durrant
who if you remember is someone that I came out with. I really enjoyed being
able to teach and learn from her as well as be concerned with and a part of their
missionary work as well. It has been a crazy but amazing week! I wish that I
could share more! Next Sunday is the Montreal Temple Dedication! It should be
awesome! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

here in the Calgary Zone and as an STL. Now I have more responsibilities then I
did before to prepare for and this week has just been ridiculous when it came
to study time because we were always at a meeting and didn't always have time
to do anything but prepare for the meetings which we are going to, however that
doesn't mean that I am or have giving up on the challenge we are doing. It just
means that I too am behind a little. I just started the book of Jarom... so I
really don't know where we are supposed to be this week, but I have really
enjoyed what I have read so far. Enos is still one of my favorite books and as
I read it on Wednesday it really prepared me for the training that we gave to
the Elders. You know what I learned this week? I learned that the Book of
Mormon really is a witness of Christ. It answers the question of the soul
"How can a belief in Christ help me" because it is literally
witnesses and testimonies of Prophets and how a belief in Christ helped them,
their families, and how it could/did help their societies. It is amazing! I
love reading the Book of Mormon and know that as we read it we will find a
better understanding of who Christ is and how he can help us! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

as a district on Thursday! We got to do Baptisms (which I haven't done in 8
years), and we took a name all the way through. And it was our own Family
History. I did the name of Hansine Olsen, whom was born in Denmark and then I
also found another name for one of the Elders to take through Thomas Grimmett.
It was such an amazing experience to take a name through all of the way and I
learned so much about the Plan of Salvation and why the Lord does what he does.
We truly are His children and I feel like everything on this earth is to
prepare us to live and accept the principles and laws of Heaven. I love you so
much. I don't have too much time but I wanted you to know that the Lord does
love you! I am excited to see you in a couple of months and I got my November
package yesterday (it is nice to get mail more regularly again). Thank you for
the Winter stuff, it is needed. As far as Christmas goes I would like letter
from everyone (especially those of who never write me... JOSH... DANNY) and I
am in need of less grungy white undershirts but other than that I really am
doing great. I learn to make new outfits every day, and I am not too tired with
what I have. I might be in need of new brown boots, but really that it not a
necessity. I love you so much! Thank you for being my constant support! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

ward. This area is amazing! And being with Sister Layton is the best! Now just
because this area is amazing doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of work that
we need to do to get better, but there is so much potential here and we feel
like there can really be a big change as we all serve the Lord in Unity. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

crazy... like 3 in 1 crazy. Sister Layton decided that she wanted to straighten
my hair on Wednesday! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

going on this week and that also included my first ever Mission Leadership
Council (MLC). This is a meeting where all of the leadership in the mission get
together and we have a giant council (kind of like a ward council) and we try to
figure out new goals for the mission and areas of focus with President. It is a
time for Revelation and Sister Layton and I are grateful for the things that we
learned. We ended up giving a presentation on Members and President asked us to
do our musical number for the closing hymn.<br />

area is going to be (okay for me at least) focusing on my Savior. We have
trainings that we are doing this week and the questions we asked our zone and
Sisters to ponder was "What does a belief in Christ do for me"? And
you know what I have really learned that this week. We need to have Christ as
our center. Plain and simple. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

this week. We were preparing for a dinner message and Sister Layton had a
scripture in mind about what to share so as she was looking for it I was
praying and asking Heavenly Father to know what to do. I had an impression come
to my mind to do the message in 3 Nephi 11:15 about when Christ visits the
Americas and shows himself unto the multitude. As I finished explaining it to
Sister Layton, she turned to me and told me that that was the scripture that
she was looking for. I loved it! We shared it at our dinner message which
consisted of our member Stephanie and her non-member friend and guess what her friend
Savannah texted her yesterday asking her if she could help her find a church
and missionaries around her to teach her!!!!! Miracle! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

amazing things that happened this week but I don't have the time to write them
all out. Sister Layton and I both have really bad memories so it has been
interesting but good because we get things done right away so we don't forget.
We go on our first set of exchanges this week! Oh and we had a traditional
Chinese Dish called Hotpot this week with a Mandarin Member. I would explain
it... but you might just want to google it. This upcoming week is going to be,
in the words of Sister Layton, "hoppin". I love you all! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Hello Hello Hello Everyone! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Must I say what a week! I guess that I will break
the news early in the letter today but I am now serving almost in the heart of
Calgary in the Calgary 5th Ward... (Not to be confused with the Medicine Hat
5th ward)... and my new companion is... SISTER LAYTON! We came out together and
we are both from Arizona! Also more exciting news... on Monday night after pday
this past week, Sister Kolodisi and I were getting home and finished with
planning so we started to pack. It had been a good day, but it was kind of hard
to leave people that I had only known for a few months. Anyway as I went to my
bed to fold my clothes and put them away I saw the phone and had the impression
that I should probably look at it... and as I did I saw that President Miles
had called and as I listened to the voicemail I learned that he not only
called, but he called for me. So I called him back and long story short I am
not only serving in the Calgary 5th ward with Sister Layton, but I was also
extended the call to be a Sister Training Leader with Sister Layton over the
sisters in the Calgary North stake (we are the only sisters in the Calgary
Zone). That means that Sister Layton and I get the chance to look after these
sisters and we will be going on exchanges with them periodically. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The beginning of this week was pretty hectic, and
Sister Kolodisi and I spent most of it packing, cleaning and tying up lose ends
in prep for the sisters coming in. We made lots of notes in the area books and
spent quite sometime saying goodbye and making sure the the new sisters were
still welcomed in investigators and less-active homes. Hopefully they can fit
in together! Transfer weeks are always hard, but it was quite fun all the same.
As transfer day came along, Sister Kolodisi and I had to say our goodbyes and
we went to the Willow Park Chapel. She was going South and I stayed North so
once the meeting started we had to part our ways :(. But the best thing about
transfers was that I got to see Sister Kendrick, Sister Allard, Sister Milius,
Sister Wagstaff, and Sister Howard, which are Sisters that I haven't been able
to see in forever! (Especially Sister Kendrick who we both thought would never
see each other again on the mission). She is now serving as the STL over Willow
Park so I will be seeing her more often now. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It is amazing that Heavenly Father will give you
assurances that you are in the right place at the right time. After I got my
transfer notice that I was staying North, everywhere that I could go continue
to cross my mind. I felt like I could go anywhere in the North and has no idea
what Heavenly Father had in store for me. However when I got my STL call, that
narrowed the pool to four places, Willow Park (which would have been the same
zone that I just came out of), Calgary Central (where I am now), Foothills YSA,
or Banff. I thought that I could go to any of the places...except Calgary
Central because Sister Layton just finished training so I figured that she
would get transferred and the her baby would need to be greenie busted.
President had told me that I would be with another STL so I kind of ruled that
one out. All week I went back and forth on where I would be and that continue
until I got to transfers and I was sitting there and learned that Sister Layton
was staying in her area... and at that point I knew that I would be going with
her to Calgary 5th ward. And you know what is also cool? We both had the same
impression.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

getting purged and I am leaving the Mahogany and Auburn Bay ward to go
somewhere else in the North of the mission.... WHAT!!!! It is weird for me to
think about because I have only been in the area for 5 weeks... but as we call
it here I am ready for my first "one and done"... Purging means that
2 new sisters will be coming in the area that we are leaving.Sister K and I
will be spending a lot of time tying up loose ends and making sure things are
ready for them when they come in!!! So stay tuned for where I am going and who
I am with next week! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

got a referral for a guy who was baptized in 2003, doesn't have scriptures, but
wants to come back to church. This referral sounded like it came from him...
but apparently it didn't because when we got their he didn't know we were
coming, but everything about him that the referral said was true AND he asked
us how he can get a copy of his Patriarchal Blessing so we are going to move
His records into the ward and then get him his <a href="http://lds.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0068cf;">lds.org</span></a> account.
Sadly he is only going to be in our ward for a short time... but we can get him
started in the reactivation process. We also carved pumpkins with a
reactivating family for P-day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Thursday for Mahogany Ward and their was a bunch of non-members and
less-actives there. It was kind of awesome because one of the Part members is

Hello everyone!!!! Happy week! So you may be wondering what is so
good.... weeeeelll let me tell you.....<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
GERALD GOT BAPTIZED!!!!!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Now, of course I didn't get to be there, but he did email me this week
and he said that he was baptized and I am so excited!!!! I have been working
with him for 4 and a half months!!! YAY HIM!!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Okay so really that was something that I learned today so it doesn't
count for my exciting week so here is more of the week.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
1. Fab Friday - We had a Relief Society Activity in Auburn Bay ward! I
wish I had taken pictures, but there were like 10 non-members there and a
couple of less-actives in the ward!! We made fall and winter decorations and
Sister Kolodisi and I took the cupcake decorating class with some members. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
2. Stake Baptism - We had a Stake Baptism this week. 5 KIDS from
Mahogany ward got baptized and we got to be there for the girl in Auburn Bay
ward who got baptized. She is super cute
and we got to teach while they were getting dressed after and before the confirmation.
It was a great opportunity to share the gospel with members, non-members and
less-actives a like. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
3. Random Member Present lesson - We were at dinner on Saturday and the
member that we were with randomly asked us if we would like to teach a lesson
to their non-member friend from Lethbridge. We got to have a great first
contact with him and teach him a little bit about the Plan of Salvation and the
Love of God... He isn't quite prepared but was very grateful for the lesson and
is going to consider the thought of their being a God. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Sister Kolodisi and I are working to get a lot of things started in our
wards. There are so many potentials it is just waiting until things fall into
place according to the timeline of our Heavenly Father.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
My "ponderizing" scripture for this week is 3 Nephi 18:32 <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
"Nevertheless, ye shall not cast him out of your synagogues, or
your places of worship, for unto such shall ye continue to minister; for ye
know not but what they will return and repent, and come unto me with full
purpose of heart, and I shall heal them; and ye shall be the means of bringing
salvation unto them."<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
I know that the Lord loves all of His children. He knows all of us and
wants us to turn to him in all of the aspects of our lives. I love you all and
hope that you have a great week! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Love, <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
P.S - Sister Kolodisi and I had some extra time during lunch the other
day so we took some pictures on a bridge in Mahogany area... they have this
cool work out gear there in a park!<o:p></o:p></div>

work has been super slow. We have not been able to meet with anyone, but we did
have 4 Less-active lessons in a day. We are trying to meet with members and
lots of potentials this week... we just haven't had any success do to
sicknesses and the holiday weekend. I am very grateful for the work that I have
been able to do and the mission that I have had. I am very grateful for the
gospel and for all of your support. I learned this week that even though people
might not listen to the gospel, as we live by the commandments, we are promised
that we will be able to be teachers of those around us... even if all we can do

Sister Kolodisi's birthday with Pancakes and then on Friday we had a great
day. It started off with meeting a new investigators Erin! She was just
walking on the street and we contacted her and turns out she grew up with
members, going to church and Sunday dinners!!! YAYAYA!!! We are going to be
going back this week and hope that we can start teaching her the lessons! We
also went to a Less-ACTIVES house who then said that she was going to watch
conference. The spirit was so strong that both Sister Kolodisi left that place
on a spiritual high with smiles and happy dances. I know that our Savior is
there to help and guide us. We also has a cool miracle with a less-active that
our Bishop told us to go see. We went and contacted her and she wasn't home, so
we went a street over to contact another person only to realize that we still
had another family to contact on the street we were just on. As we went back we
prayed that we would be able to get a hold of them and talk to everyone we met.
As we went to knock at the door, we realized that the first less-active that we
had tried to contact was just coming out of her house to get more groceries and
so we mustered up our courage and went and talked to her. She said that she
wasn't interested but that she was going through a hard time so we gave her our
number and left. We were pretty happy with that miracle, but later in the day
she then texted us and told us that although she wasn't sure that she was
interested, she missed having the spirit in her home and wanted to have us over
for dinner!!! We then also saw her today when we were shopping at Walmart! so
cool! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and saw Hugo a less-active and his nonmember wife Maribella. We took Sister
Vincent with us a ward missionary and actually got to talk to Maribella. They
said that they would come to General Conference and then came to a session!! We
are hoping that this week we can teach them a little bit more especially about
temples and that we can help Maribella as well! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

amazing! I really felt the spirit testifying to me and I am grateful for the
chance that we had to experience three new apostles being sustained. I know
that our Heavenly Father wants us to be happy and that as part of His plan he
sent his Son to Atone for us. I love you all and hope that you have a great
week! !<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;">Hello Everyone!!! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.95pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.95pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">So this week has been CRAZY!!!!!
Seriously, you wouldn't think that you would adjust so quickly to being in a
small area in a small town.... but you really do. When we came into Calgary
coming up for transfers I honestly freaked out a little bit because of how big
it was.... and it was honestly a little scary being back on Calgary high
ways... but I have gotten used to it. So I have gone from my tiny little hour
across by foot Medicine Hat area... to a much different situation here in
Calgary. If you have already looked at the pictures that I have sent, you know
that my new companion is Sister Kolodisi!!! She is awesome and has been out for
about 16 months now, so there is a good possibility that I could be her last
companion. This is most likely my last area as well and I am going to work hard
to make it better then it is now! Sister Kolodisi is from Fiji! So now I have
had one companion from North Carolina, one from Arizona, one from Texas, two
from Utah, one from Quebec and one from Fiji!!! She speaks English really well
now and it is pretty funny because we remember when I was serving in the
Foothills with my greenie buster Sister Gardner and both Sister Gardner and her
companion were going home, so we spent a day together. I remember telling her
that we would be companions together...!!!!!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.95pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.95pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Okay so now for the news that you
are dying to hear (okay maybe not, but I was dying to hear it all Thursday!).
When we came up north, which was a super sad but exciting time, we came back to
the Transfer station with everyone that was waiting for a companion from the
South. The way that Transfers work is that everyone who is getting transferred
in the North goes to the transfer station at 9 and then everyone that is going South
gets in a van and drives down. Those of the North people that are waiting to
get their companion from the south get paired up with another missionary for
the day until around 3 o'clock when those coming from the south come up and we
meet at the chapel. We then go in for another transfer meeting and get told
where we are going and who we are with. Okay big news! I am now serving in the
Calgary South Zone with Sister Kolodisi. I serve in the Mahogany ward AND the
Auburn Bay ward!!! Two wards!!! Man am I going crazy! So many people to get to
know and so much work to do, especially when both wards are so different. I
have been praying all week that I will receive the confirmation about why I am
here, and I know that I am here because in my last area we worked hard to get
member missionary work going and the work going, and that is what Sister
Kolodisi will be doing these next few transfers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.95pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

Calgary. I have now served in South West, North East and now South East, so
that is pretty exciting. I am back with the Willow Park Sisters as my STLs
which is pretty cool, and most of my zone is NOT from Utah. We have an elder
from Ireland too! Let’s see what else happened this week. So, Mahogany ward is
one of the wards I am serving in now and it is pretty awesome. Their ward starts
at 9 o'clock and then we have ward council with them and then we have to book
it to Cranston building which is about 15 minutes away for Auburn Bay ward
which starts at 1! YAY 7 HOURS OF CHURCH I LOVE IT! (well, I am getting used to
it, but I want to be able to love it.) This week Auburn Bay ward didn't have
ward council but on normal Sunday's we will be going on splits to each ward, we
will both come to Mahogany ward for the start and then one of us will go with a
member on a split to Auburn Bay ward council and stay until the ward starts and
the one in Mahogany will join when ward council gets out... kind of crazy I
know! We are the only missionaries in our zone who has to go to two different
buildings for church, but it is an adventure and we get twice the amount of
work done so that is good. We just got a new ward mission leader in the Auburn
Bay ward! Good luck keeping everything straight because I haven't figured it
out yet. I love you all!! Have fun watching General Conference this week! It is
an amazing experience and I am grateful I had the chance to watch the woman's
broadcast this week. I love you all!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to happen this week, but today we got our transfer notices and I will be
leaving to the North of the mission... :(. Sad day. However, don't get me
wrong. I trust that Heavenly Father has a different plan for me. I don't know
what yet, but I know that if I continue in faith and ask when things get hard,
that my Savior will provide the strength that I need. Okay so on from sad news,
let’s talk about the great things going on here in Medicine Hat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

10TH! We are super excited for him, as well as the rest of the ward. It gets a
little rough when Gerald is on date. Things start to go from good to bad and he
starts to freak out, so we have been focusing on increasing his faith in the
Savior. He had a bit of a freak out moment this past week, but is doing okay. I
trust that he will continue to progress to his date.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

happened this week. We had quite the busy week I must say. After P-day on
Monday, things just kept getting busier. We had a lesson with Cathy this week
and are excited to teach her and her daughter. She goes in for her last week of
treatment this week, so we hope that everything goes well. We also had splits
this week that consisted of me going to see the Rodriguez family and Sister
Cunningham going to see a potential! I love seeing the hand of the Lord in
other people's lives and how they are being prepared. It really is so cool. The
potential that we saw has actually had an aunt tell her to read the Book of
Mormon and wants to keep meeting with us! I love this work and the difference
that it makes in the lives of others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Clothing Give-Away this week. The Stake relief society presidency wanted us to
be there the entire time so we helped them set up from 2-8 on Friday and ran
the give-away from 9-3 on Saturday. It was like working retail all over
again!!! It was so cute because we had member that were shopping for us the
entire time and would make us try clothing on, but the best part was being able
to help people find free clothing that they stood in need of. We actually got
to help a lesser active lady find some clothes as well as an investigator from
Rosemary find some skirts for her first time at church on Sunday. AND SHE CAME!
It was a great event, and one that would go over well in other places as well!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Cunningham and I had the chance to play a flute and piano duet in Sacrament
Meeting. We played the same duet that Sister Kendrick and I played a couple of
months back, Sister Cunningham on the Flute and me on the Piano. It is
always nice to bring the spirit in the meeting, and then after the sacrament
meeting, Sister Parker (the Stake Young Women's President) asked us if
we would be willing to play for the youth fireside that night as
well. It was a great time and I am so proud of Sister Cunningham and am going
to miss her way too much.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Hello All!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">What a week. Especially when it comes to the conferences!
I totaled an amount of 4 conferences this week and I am a little conferenced
out. We had zone conference on Tuesday, and then on Thursday night we drove out
to Lethbridge and on Friday had a conference with Elder Martino (<a href="https://www.lds.org/church/leader/james-b-martino?lang=eng" style="cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit;" target="_blank">https://www.lds.org/church/leader/james-b-martino?lang=eng</a>).
Then on Saturday night we had Stake Conference and again on Sunday! Many a
conference!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444;"> This week was actually really fantastic! We picked
up two new investigators this week. Remember last week I told you about the
lady that came to church without us asking her to or us thinking that she
would? Well we took her on a church tour this Tuesday and she is now wanting to
be baptized and learn more about the church! She is so cool! Her name is Cathy
and she has a daughter named Mikyia and has been coming to church all this
month! We also picked up an investigator named Ruby! She is so cute and is the
neighbor of Leo and Marie and member in our ward. They have been working with
her for quite some time now and we just picked her up this week!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444;"> Gerald is doing super well! We had the chance to
call him after our two conferences this week driving home from Lethbridge and
invited him to think about what the spirit was telling him to do and what
Heavenly Father wanted him to do as the weekend unfolded. He came out to
every event of the weekend, including the Meet the Mormon's night in the Kin
Coulee (Park), both sessions of General Conference and Bible Study. When we
asked him he said that he felt like this was the right thing for him to do
after every event, and when he came to bible study he told us that he
couldn't explain it but that he had had the best day ever! He is
doing so well!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.95pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

community event called the Clothing give-away. The whole community of Medicine
Hat is invited so the Stake Relief Society has asked Sister Cunningham and me
to be there all day Friday and Saturday... let’s just say that I spent this
morning during our cleaning time going through my clothing and seeing what I
could donate! It should be a great opportunity! Well that is the scoop for
the week. We have lots of appointments this week that we are super excited
about! I hope that you all have just a great or even better week! I love you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Happy Labor Day! I don't have a lot of time today, but I wanted to write and let everyone know that things are going great! Sister Cunningham and I have been applying the things that President Miles talked about at Zone Conference and we are finding that as we try to take better inventory and be more organized and put our faith in the Lord that we are finding new people to teach! This weekend at church, an investigator that we hadn't expected to be there came!! Her name is Katherine, and we have been trying to teach her sine I got here, but the Lord has been preparing her and establishing a family in the ward for them! She is so cool! She also has three kids and they are planning to come every week!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gerald is doing well as well!! He was out of town this week, but tried to go to church in Cadillac where his parents live! He didn't end up finding the church, but still he tried which is what matters!! He has been making FANTASTIC progress... it is slow, but he is feeling the spirit and even told us on Friday that he thinks that he is getting pretty close!! Prayers everyone! Gerald needs to be baptized!!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
WE HAVE 5 RETURN APPOINTMENTS THIS WEEK!! YAYA!!!!! This week is packed full ALREADY! We have Zone Training this week on Tuesday, and then on Thursday night we will be driving back down to Lethbridge and staying the night so that we can be to a Conference with Elder Martino a member of the 70 on Friday at 8:30!! Plus we also have a fun night planned that day. We will be driving back into town and going to a stake activity called Meet the Mormons! We will be watching the movie Meet the Mormons (which if you haven't seen it you can find it on Netflix) and having a BBQ!! Good week planned! I love you all. Trust that Heavenly Father knows you and also knows all of the people around you!! </div>

miraculous week and I can tell you that my testimony of the Priesthood has
grown as we follow the inspired counsel of our mission president. Today is the
last day of walk-n-talk August... where has it gone, and I can tell you that we
have seen so many miracles in doing this this week... here are just a
few. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

dinner appointment this week that ended up needing to just drop our food off at
our house and so we were at our place when it was time to leave. We walked out
the back like we usually do and there was this family on a bike ride that had
stopped on the path outside of our house because the mother's break was not
working quite well. Sister Cunningham stopped to talk to them and we asked them
if we could come and share a message about how our families can be together
forever and they said yes! We are going to go to see them today at 7!!!! We are
super excited. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

ago Sister Allard and I went to dinner at a birthday party for a recent convert
in our ward and the cousin of the family Melissa was at the house. We started
talking and we didn't know whether she was a member or not because Cameron
Anderson is a recently returned member so she could have been. When we left we
gave her our card and offered service in case she needed anything. She texted us
a couple of days later and since then we have been able to get her a little
help moving. We went to her house this past week with the Anderson family, and
it turns out that she is a child of record, not a baptized less-active!!! She
doesn't live in 5th ward but right outside in 4th ward, but wants to come to
5th ward with her cousins so we are working with the Elders so that they can
come to our ward while she is there. We are excited to work with her and
hopefully she will be at the Corn Bust this week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

walking to a less-actives house and on our way to their house, there was this
guy mowing the lawn. We didn't think that he would let us talk to him, but as
we approached he turned his lawn mower off and said "Hello Sister
Missionaries"... we were really confused the entire time because he acted
like a member and talked like a member... so we had no idea if he was a member.
Anyway when we walked away we searched our ward list and found out that he was
the nonmember husband of Annetta Labash and that they have 3 nonmember
children... um... HE WAS SO NICE!!! We got the chance to talk to Sister Fleming
our bishop's wife about them and they might be on our radar for potential
families to start working with again! He is a fireman and so it was a huge
miracle that we were in the right place to talk to him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hughes family this Sunday. Gerald came as well and they also invited a cute
little Filipino lady named Elsie. She is a nanny in the area and has been going
through some hard things, but we ended up teaching the 5 minute restoration for
the dinner message and both Gerald and Elsie came to bible study this week!!!
They both enjoyed it and we were able to give her a Book of Mormon. Brother
Hughes called us this morning and said that he was doing some follow up today
and asked her if she wanted to meet with us and she said yes!! We have her
number and are now waiting for her to respond!!! Miracle! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

go to the temple this past week! There was a ward temple trip and camp out and
he spent the time with a very recently returned missionary in our ward... Jamar
Jensen (no relation). He said that he felt the spirit really strongly and
admits that the temple is such a special place. We talked to him a little bit
and it is amazing to see the changes that he is making. He said that when he
gets baptized that he wants to do it right and so he is praying so that he will
have enough faith to enter into the covenant of baptism and make the changes in
our life. He also reassured us that we have done so much for him and that his
faith in Christ has grown so much. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

that I met my first week here in Medicine Hat. She was very nice, but didn't
seem to be interested. However for these past couple of weeks, her daughter
Makiah has been coming to church with the Andersons and wants to keep coming.
When we were over at the Anderson's house, Sister Anderson said that Kathrine
wanted to start coming to church, so we had Hailey and Kayla Anderson show us
where they live and it turned out to be the same person that I have met my
first week here!! We invited her to the corn bust, and hopefully she will be
able to make it out with her family this Sunday!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

driving out to Taber for our first zone conference with President and Sister
Miles! I LOVE THEM! They are seriously the best! Zone conference went from 10-5
and we learned about humility, working with members and the restoration of the
gospel and let me tell you I am so very grateful for each of those trainings.
After the conference, Sister Cunningham and I went on Exchanges with Sister
Kolkava and Sister Wallock, the Taber Sister Training Leaders! Taber is so fun!
It is just a cute little farming town and I got to spend the night and day with
Sister Kolkava. She is from the Czech Republic and has the cutest accent (kind of
like Heidi Kloom). She has been out one more transfer then me and we went to
their annual Corn Bust. We had to set up for it before the meeting and both of
us have kind of gimpy hands because of my no longer broken but still weak wrist
and her recently fractured arm... so it was interesting, but everyone in Taber
is so nice and President and Sister Miles came too, so it was awesome. Oh and
everyone in Taber is named Jensen... and apparently there is a rivalry going on
to see who has the best Taber corn because apparently Taber corn is the best
and Jensen Taber corn is the best Taber corn... I have no clue. Good corn is
good corn. And apparently people in Medicine Hat like Huber corn. I don't get
it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

week!! It is Sister Cunningham's birthday on Thursday and she is turning the
big 20!! I am kind of excited because I have never been able to celebrate
another companion's birthday with them.... so I might be taking her to the
butterfly farm and paying for it when she isn't looking... as well as telling
everyone that it is her birthday on Thursday... and getting her a present...
somehow without her seeing it or at least know that it is for her. I think it
will be a much better way to spend my one year mark... because it is always
better to celebrate others instead of yourself!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

gave numbers to our district leader yesterday and when Sister Cunningham said
that we had seen 7 less-active or recent convert members I was so shocked that
I had to check myself. It is amazing what you can do when you are trying to be
obedient and improve and refine your skills as a missionary and relying on the
Lord for his help. We have had some pretty cool miracles this week!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of our less-actives doors that we had never met and met her son Cory. He told
us that the one that we really wanted to see was Kianna as she had just been
baptized recently in Utah and just got back to Canada. Long story short, Sister
Cunningham went on splits with Sister Hyde on Wednesday and their original
appointment cancelled so they went back and met Kianna. It turns out that she
is the most solid 16 year-old I have ever met. She is so cute, and she got
baptized a year ago in Utah while living with her grandma who made her go to
church while she was living with her. We are going to help her get integrated
into the ward, and start rereading the Book of Mormon with her to try to get
her honor bee!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Remember how I told you last week that we had met Anna because of a puppy that
we had found? Well we went back on Monday and we were greeted by an unanswered
door... so we decided that we should leave a note. We then went to leave and declared
that we would come back later and then as we turned around a car pulled into
their driveway and Anna's sister came out. She said that no one was home but
that we could come back on Thursday and everyone would be there! Miracle! When
we came back on Thursday we were again greeted by the same thing... so we
walked around and came back a half an hour later to find Anna's other sister
home who said we could come by on Saturday... AND WE DID!! They were home, but
we set up a really appointment for tonight at 7! We are super excited! They are
from Columbia and we hope that we can start teaching them about the restored
gospel!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Sister Cunningham and I decided to bring the question of what we could do to
help our area improve. We then went to church and while we were there received
the impression that we could be working with the members by going to their
houses, teaching the restoration, and inviting them to come out on splits with
us. Our Stake president has asked that we go on splits once a week at least...
and we are only going once every other week with the ward missionaries... so we
feel that this will help the members to get out with us and feel the spirit of
being a missionary.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Cunningham and I walked to the Tepee. It is about a 45 minute walk and once we
are there we can go down into the coulee and talk to the people walking in the
dog park... or we can stay up top and talk to the people visiting the tepee. As
we arrived, there were only a few people....so we decided to go to the coulee.
After a little while of talking to people, we sat down, ate lunch and then as
we got back out to work some more, we met this guy named Taylor. It almost
looked like he waited to talk to us and we had an amazing conversation about
the purpose of life and the restoration of the gospel. He left and we did one
more walk around the park and then went up to the top of the Tepee hill (which
is killer) and met him again at the top. We then walked more and gave him a
Book of Mormon. We hope that we are able to see him again soon!! It was
amazing!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Sister Cunningham!!! She is the cutest! She just came down from Sheep River in
Okotoks (the Foothills Zone!) and has been out on her mission for about 9
months now!!! She has also served in Jaffray in British Columbia!! She is from
a little town called Lake Point right outside of Tooele, Utah (which is about a
30 minute drive west of Salt Lake on the other side of the Oaker mountains). I
am excited to work with her! We have already seen many miracles!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

transfers worked, so here is the scoop!!! The 5th week of every transfer is
what we call in the mission, "Board week", which is the week that
President looks at the board of missionaries and decides who is going where who
is training. Training calls go out on Wednesday of that week. The next week is
a fun one. Pday is moved from Monday to Tuesday and on Tuesday the Zone leaders
get an email telling them who in their zone is being transferred and whether
they are staying in the South or if they are going to the North of the mission.
Then the zone leaders call us and tell us. This past Tuesday we got our call
and Sister Allard, as you know, has been transferred to the North of the
mission. I don't know where yet, but I will let you know once I find out. Then
on Thursday, all of the missionaries who are getting transferred or a new
companion go to the transfer points of the mission which are Lethbridge and
Calgary. It takes us 2 hours about to get to Lethbridge so we left pretty early
(stopped in Bow Island for a pastry) and had an amazing miracle on the way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

only a little gas, so we went to go get some but the one gas station was out of
gas... so we decided that we would just get gas at Bow Island. We drove to Bow
Island and realized that our Tire Pressure gauge had turned on so we where
going to stop and get the tire filled too, but then realized that there was
really no gas station that we could use there... so we prayed and kept going to
Taber. I prayed the whole time there, and once we got to Taber, I was
originally going to stop at the gas station that we had stopped at on our way
to Cardston, but felt the need to stop at the Co-op to get gas. We filled up,
and then we went to leave and where very blessed because their was not only an
air station, but it was free!! Once we got to Lethbridge we got Sister Allard's
stuff in the van going North and split (the people going North have to sit on a
different part of the chapel). Then we have an opening hymn and prayer and the
transfer notices are given by the A.Ps by zone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

also had 2 other miracles this week. But first, my wrist is going really well.
Dr. Baring pulled the pins last Tuesday (which didn't hurt at all) and took the
cast off. I didn't have a ton of motion when I first got it off. It kinda of
felt weird and I had to wear this pressure wrap for 48 hours because of the
gaping wholes in the wrist, but it seems to be doing good. We went to my first
Physical Therapy session today and she says that I have really good range of
motion, gave me a few stretches and excersises and said that she wants to see
me one more time in a week. After that week, I go see Dr. Baring one last time
and I will be done with this!!! What a blessing it has been, plus we have seen
like 10 miracles from going to the hospital alone! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

were going to a street that we had planned to tract when we noticed a purse
that was sitting on someone's porch. We looked into the back and waved down the
girl that was mowing her lawn and she said that is was her purse but that she
had forgotten that it was there. We talked to her for a bit and she agreed to
let us come back on Wednesday!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

baptism in our zone, so we started working at 10 to see if we could find
someone that would come to the baptism with us. In our last 15 minutes, a puppy
randomly came up to us without it's owner so we said a prayer and set out to
find the dog's owner. Long story short we ended up talking to the owner and
neighbor... set up an appointment with the owner of the dog for tonight and
found out that the neighbor goes to school with out Ward mIssion Leader!!!
MIRACLE!!! Walk-N-Talk August is really an amazing thing for us to put our
faith in. Any who... sorry for such the lengthy letter. I hope hat you all have
had a great week!! I love you all!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Happy Transfer week!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Super sad but expected news this week. Sister Allard is
getting transferred on Thursday :( :( :(. She will be going North so that means
that she could be anywhere from High River to Airdrie. I will be getting a new
companion here in Medicine Hat. I was thinking the other day about who I could
get and I realized that I hardly know any of the Sisters in the mission
anymore... and I used to know quite a few of them. However, it is exciting to
think that I will get another new companion, so here is to companion number
6!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">So, like I said last week, today I get the cast off and
the pins taken out of my wrist!! My appointment is at 2 mountain standard time
and hopefully won't take too long. This week has been really busy!! We have
been walking all week and boy am I beat by the end of the day. The temperature
has been upwards to 35 degrees to 40 degrees Celsius which is about 95 to 100
Fahrenheit and after 5 hours of walking in it every day, you are a little bit
drained, but everything is still going well. We have been getting almost daily
updates of miracles that have been going on because of Walk and Talk August. We
get texts from our Zone Leaders that come in from the Assistants and they let
us know about other miracles that have happened in the past week. We are really
enjoying it here in Medicine Hat, especially because we are so far away and
really only here news about other people in Medicine Hat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Speaking of Medicine Hat, Sister Allard and I have been
trying to find the most people that we can throughout our day. It can be tough
here because we can walk around for 5 hours and talk to about 5 people, but we
are looking for ways around that. Actually we found that the Tepee is one of
the best places to go throughout the week, because tourists stop there a lot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">This upcoming week is super busy!! We have two lessons on
Wednesday with two new investigators which we are excited to start working
with. Lots of new things that will be going on that I will keep you in touch
about. I love you all, we don't have a lot of time this week due to my
appointment. Have a great week!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Well hello there August it is nice to see you again...
seriously crazy!!! August!!!! Any who happy Walk-N-Talk August!!! This month we
only have a total of 200 Kilometers that we can drive so most of our time will
be spent walking!!!! Sister Allard and I walked a total of 5 hours on Saturday
to kick start our month, and thanks to the Elders we received a new potential
investigator. BE PREPARED FOR SUNSCREEN AND CRAZY TAN LINES!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Speaking of tan lines, as you can see I am newly casted
and ready for the next few weeks. Dr. Baring x-rayed and checked my wrist on
Tuesday and said that it is almost healed!!! YAY!! However, he is out of town
for the next week so I will be getting my cast off and pins out on the 11th of
August. We ran into a lady who works at the hospital in the dialysis unit and
she said that Dr. Baring is the fastest and the best... so here's to hoping
that the pins don't hurt too bad when they pull them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444;"> So this week I have made it a point to pray before
I study that I would be able to study with the spirit and know what I need for
my investigators and companion. It has been really cool seeing that when I
study and I want to learn, but that I also have the desire to know for others,
that the spirit teaches me the things that I need to know for that day. It is
my own personal "Daily Bread". It has been really nice because I
recognize and trust more in the calling that I have more now, and I am able to
help my companion and the people that I teach. Heavenly Father really likes to
place me with people that seem to be learning the same things that I am. Over
and over again I find myself working through a question or a similar trial that
and investigator has, and it helps me to really know how to help them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444;"> For example, this Sunday was Fast Sunday!! We had
the opportunity to fast as a mission for the #MayNifty50 goal which is a
continuous thing now for us missionaries. I also fasted for my own reasons and
throughout the day, little things stuck out to me that I found to be cool.
However, at the end of the day, we were able to talk to Gerald and I received
and understanding of his needs which then ended up being an answer to my own
fast!!! Heavenly Father truly knows me as He knows that I am way more willing
to do something for someone else rather then myself. I love you all so much.
Thank you for all of your support. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">We picked sour cherries this week...Also, as a mission we
have stopped the use of Facebook. We are waiting to use it more effectively and
receive more training so until further notice you shall hear from me on
Mondays...!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Speaking of Mondays.... next week is transfer week... so
I will be emailing (and also getting my new cast off) on Tuesday... <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hello everyone!!! Man.... I don't even want to talk about what today marks... seriously not even going to mention it.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15.454545021057129px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Any who. I hope that every one has enjoyed their week!! Ours was pretty cool. A little up and down and sometimes a little difficult, but such is life, and I know that the Lord has made me stronger for it. Some fun activities happened this weekend!!! Our stake here in Medicine Hat does a "stake challenge". This month the challenge is to have a summer activity and invite a non-member over. Then have a casual gospel conversation and invite the missionaries!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15.454545021057129px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">We have a less-active family who we get to see about once a week and the kids from this family just turned 4 and 5 this week. We were invited to the birthday party and got to talk to some great families!! We even ran into a member of 4th ward and got to talk to him and get to know his conversion story!!! Also on Saturday our stake celebrated Pioneer day with some good ol' fun and activities!! I didn't join in on most of them but I did take pictures and I enjoyed the time. Our investigator Robert and his wife (who is a member) came and we were able to chat with them for quite some time as we enjoyed lunch!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15.454545021057129px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Speaking of lunch on Saturday, it was a potluck and A-M had to bring Salad. We didn't really plan to bring anything, but we went to contact a referral on Friday and knocked the doors around them. We quite enjoyed talking to a few people and on the last door we knocked we met a really awesome lady named Rosemary. She is Baptiste, and after talking to her for a few minutes she asked us if we wanted some Lettuce from her garden..... so we said yes and went into her backyard for 2 huge heads of lettuce! Then later that day we were eating dinner with one of our members (also in an attempt to complete the stake challenge) and he gave us his left over tomatoes.... so with lettuce and tomatoes in hand, we made a salad for the potluck with some other ingredient with the dressing that was also given to us.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15.454545021057129px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">

As a missionary, we see all the time that the Lord provides for His servants. Every time one my mission, in whatever area I have been in, I have notices that the Lord always provides for our physical needs of food. We always have enough and when we don't have enough there is always a miracle that happens, whether it be a member calls us up to see if we have dinner, or we have money given to us earlier in the week and a dinner appointment cancels later on in the week. It really is amazing to me... and this time the Lord helped us to provide for the members that take care of us on such a regular basis!</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15.454545021057129px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Other awesome tracting experiences this week! On Saturday after our time at the parks, Sister Allard and I decided to walk around and contact some people. We were walking to a potential investigators house and on our way we felt the need to stop at a house and talk to the lady there. Her name is Ronda. When she first answered the door, Sister Allard asked her if she had ever met missionaries before, she said yes and that she wasn't interested but then I came back and asked her if she needed any service that time...She looked at us and then said slightly confused that she wasn't quite sure what we were up to. We got to explain that we are missionaries for the church and that we go about and teach people about the Savior and that we love to do service for others too. Immediately after that you could see a visible change in her as the spirit touched her. She quickly apologized for being rude and we were able to learn that her husband had recently passed away. We gave her a Mormon.org card and she told us that she would keep us in mind! We are going to try her again next time we pass her house. I love the work and that the Lord provides evidences for it. Also on that street, we passed a lady who had a nice yard and complimented her on it. Which led to a 30 minute conversation about missionary work. She said she was Atheist and it was a testimony to me as she spoke that Jesus Christ is truly there and that the Book of Mormon is true. Every question that she had could and is answered by the Book of Mormon and the understanding of the Atonement that we have from the Restoration of the church.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15.454545021057129px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Also exciting things from this week. We had the opportunity to go to lesson Monday night with President and Sister Miles. We met with Gerald we were able to talk to him about the need for baptism and about personalizing the gospel. I really loved being able to teach with our new mission President and his wife. They are amazing people. Gerald is doing okay but he is in need of doing things for himself and really having the desire to know if these things are true.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Looking back, this week was really good. I love you all and thank you for the many opportunities that I have to learn from each of you. Sister Allard and I are looking for more people to share the gospel with, or even just to uplift in any way that we can.... if you happen to know of anyone that is in need of anything that either lives in Medicine Hat, or could be reached via Facebook or email/Skype call let me know!! Also Sister Allard is looking for someone to give a French copy of the Book of Mormon to... I love you all and hope that you have a great week. Thank you for all that you do!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 17.05pt;">So here is the scoop!!! Tuesday afternoon, Sister Allard,
Sister Halladay and I </span><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 17.05pt;">went to the hospital again for my appointment
with Doctor Baring. They took my lovely white cast off (don't worry they let me
keep it) and xrayed my wrist again. They didn't take the gauze off at first so
I didn't see what the pins looked like until later when they wanted to check
how they looked. Good news!! Everything is doing what it is supposed to. The
pins are doing 85% of the work, so really the cast is just to protect me from
the pins. I have another appointment on the 28th for another check. I think
they will keep the cast on for this one, but then 2 weeks after that, if
everything looks good, they will take the cast off and the pins out and I will
start my physio for my wrist.</span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Okay, so now for information that doesn't pertain to my
wrist (however it has been fun showing everyone the pictures of the pins)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444; line-height: 17.05pt;">Gerald is now back in town!!! Gerald got back Monday from
Chicago and we got to talk to him on Tuesday and had a lesson Wednesday. He is
doing well, and still plans to be baptized, but we have to move the baptism
from the 25th to a later date due to Stake Baptisms and a Stake pioneer day
(who knew they celebrate pioneer day here!!!). It is really a blessing, because
both Sister Allard and I really want him to be solid in his testimony of the Book
of Mormon and the Savior before he gets baptized. He came to church on Sunday
and also to bible study... which we had planned to teach a lesson afterwards.
It was amazing because what we wanted to talk to him about is exactly what Nina
taught!! We were able to get right into our lesson after and tonight we have
the opportunity to teach him again with the help of President and Sister
Miles!!!!!! We hope to put him back on a date tonight!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">This month the mission's theme has been
#don'tbeshyjuly. We have really been focusing on replacing our fear with faith
and we have truly seen many miracles happen because of it. Sister Allard and I
had a miracle of our own this week (along with many other miracles). Because of
my wrist, we were able to pick up 2 new investigators this week!!! Their names
are Abraham and his cousin who's name I can't spell or pronounce, but they are
from Sudan and moved to Cuba when the war started. They both read and speak
Spanish so we will be involving the Spanish Elders that our in our Stake to
help them along. We are excited to start teaching them!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Sister Allard and I went to the Temple on Saturday with
our bishop and his wife!!!! The Cardston temple is beautiful, however I am
still partial to the Mesa and Ogden temple myself. It is much older, but it is
still quite extravagant. It is always amazing being able to be in the House of
the Lord. I really have been lucky to be able to go to the Temple 5 times on my
mission!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Thank you everyone or your
encouraging words this past week!!!!! I really appreciate it! Coming out on my
mission, I never really expected how much I would change (and how much change I
would have to come!!). I was talking to an Elder yesterday who I served with in
my first area and am now serving with again and asked him if I had changed a
lot and his response was "oh yes!!" And this week I have learned that
the Lord has plans for me to change even more. I might still be the same person
personality wise, but I feel a whole lot stronger in my purpose, faith, and
confidence. Seriously, today at the mall I asked Sister Allard if we could eat
with an older lady we had met in the dollar store in C-OP (A grocery store) and
we had like a 20 minute conversation with her, just cheering up her day!! Never
would have had the faith to do that before my mission... and (mom you really
will never believe this) I called back a number that didn't leave a voicemail
and that was unknown!!! Anyway, those are very temporal examples, and I feel
that I have also grown exponentially spiritually as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Exciting things of the
week!!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Monday - No more injuries!!!!! But
we are once again teaching the husband of the family we just got done living
with!! He is so awesome, more info as we receive more!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Tuesday - We had zone training
meeting!!! Our zone has come up with a friendly competition on passing out <a href="http://mormon.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: windowtext;">mormon.org</span></a>cards.
Whoever passes the most out by the end of our zone finding activity on
Saturdays gets a smoothie... however Sister Allard decided to take the
challenge as a way to be pushed to have more meaningful conversations with
those we meet... so we might not ever win the smoothies, but we have been able
to have 17 amazing conversations this week... and we picked up two new investigators...
so i'd say it is worth it to make our own smoothie. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Wednesday - Miracle Wednesday
seriously!!!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We drove to Lethbridge on Wednesday
after going on mini-splits with the Sister Training Leaders from Taber.
(Lethbridge is about a two hour drive from Medicine Hat). We got to meet our
new Mission President and wife, President and Sister Miles!!! Let me tell you
they are perfect for our mission!!! While we were there I felt the spirit
testify to me very strongly that they would help me personally to accomplish
the goals that the Lord has for me as a missionary and as a daughter of God. I
know that they have been called by God and are inspired to do His work!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On the way home as well we got
lost... so we stopped for lunch and prayed before we went in to be able to find
a way back to Medicine Hat. After we ate a youth came up to me an apologize for
my broken wrist and then said "especially because you are a
missionary" and I immediately knew she was an answer to our prayer. We
told her that we were actually serving in Medicine Hat and asked her if she
knew how to get there. She said that she didn't but her dad did, and He gave us
very direction instructions to get home!!! I love the gospel. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">To add on to miracle Wednesday, we
were walking to our dinner appointment and we had about 10 minutes before we
needed to be there so I felt we should knock on a door or two. We walked a
little further and then decided to knock on a door on the corner. To our
surprise, one of the nurses that had helped me quite a bit on the Tuesday that
we had to stay in the hospital for no reason answered the door. She wasn't
interested but it was amazing to be able to see the hand of the Lord and know
that He does plant seeds!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Friday - Broken wrist is paying off.
We were able to talk to someone on the street for a good 10 minutes because his
wrist as broken too!!! We gave him a Book of Mormon, and get this, he can't go
to work for 3 months because of his wrist, so we now have the chance to teach
him!!! I love the gospel!!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> We also met a family at the
Tipee (World's Largest) and had the chance to talk to them for a good 20
minutes. We are studying having faith vs. Fear this month, and both Sister
Allard and I were scared to bother them, however their dog then ran up to them
and we went over and the guy started talking to us. The Lord will provide a way
to do His will, I promise!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Sunday - Last Sunday bishop
asked me to speak in church on the topic "Stay By the Tree" from this
past general conference. I spoke with another Sister Jensen who was speaking on
her experience from girls camp, and a returned missionary (homecoming) from Japan.
Kobe mission. It was amazing to see that even though we all had different
topics given to us (i.e Camp, Conference Talk, and Prayer) we all emphasized
the same things and supported each other's talk. I had originally planned to
read a portion of my talk, but when I got up there, after many prayers, the
Lord took over and I gave my talk and ended exactly on the time I was supposed
to. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I know that this church is true. I
am excited to see what these next 7 months have in store for growth. My new
mission President said in his weekly letter this week "The Savior
taught us that to build faith beyond where we are today we need to take the
final step and submit our whole souls to God. We need to serve and sacrifice
without thought for reward. When we serve the Lord not for our own personal
gratification but instead for His glory our faith will take the next important
step. You will be obedient because you love the Lord not just because you’ve
been asked to be." <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hello Family!!! Well.... what a week. As most of you well know on Monday at 4 pm I broke my wrist during a pday activity. We were playing a game called mission impossible where you are in the gym of the church and the lights are off. There are tables set up everywhere as barriers and there is a spotlight set up that tries to catch people as they move from table to table... long story short, the mission was clearly impossible for me. On the third round of the game, I got out (note I wasn't even playing the game anymore) and was walking up to the front to sit out. As I walked, another Elder sprinted forward, not seeing me in the dark, and rammed into me causing me to hit a table with my wrist. At first I thought that I was fine, but soon I started feeling me forehead and felt warm blood running down my face. I quickly told Elder Cervantes that I wasn't okay. He took one look at my forehead and took me out into the hallway to asses my injuries. After cleaning off the cut on my head (not bad at all, just bled a lot) I looked at my wrist which felt kind of off... and I noticed it was definitely out of shape. We then got Sister Allard and Nina (a member of the YSA ward) and Nina drove us to the doctors... who was closed. We then went to the ER. At first when I hit my wrist I thought that it was just dislocated... but 4 hours in the waiting room and an xray later told that it was a nasty colles fracture of my left wrist. </div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">They tried to do a closed reduction (where they seduce you with medicine and put it back into place), but the results were not as favorable as they wished. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.719999313354492px;">After the closed reduction. Still looks bad and I can't open my fingers properly. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Right after I heard the news about the break and possible surgery, I was kind of freaking out. I called our mission president's wife and our nurse on the area Sister Halladay. We then called the zone leaders to let them know and ask for a blessing. I really have a testimony of the priesthood as that night I received a blessing that was an answer to every prayer that I had uttered for the past 3 weeks. After the blessing, I knew that every thing was going to be okay. I was calm and trusted that my Heavenly Father would see me through this. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">After a day of waiting on Tuesday (many emergencies meant no O.R. rooms) we went home at around 7:30 and stayed with Sister Halladay for the night. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15.454545021057129px;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Wednesday we went back into the hospital and I got my surgery around 10 am M.D.T. Everything went smoothly, and I was blessed to have an amazing ortho who will see me through everything that will happen with my wrist. </span></div>

They set it and put four pins in my wrist without having to open it... I don't get it either. </div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Sister Allard and I were able to get back to work on Friday and Saturday. We didn't have the car until Saturday evening and I am still recovering my energy so we couldn't walk very far but we tried to fill up our time still!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">However, SUNDAY WAS AWESOME!! It was fast Sunday, and although Sister Allard wouldn't let me fast fully and did as much as I could, and also fasted from thinking, talking about anything that wasn't mission related. The Lord knows us and when we are making full sacrifices. We fasted for our investigator Gerald. He will be going out of town this week and we wanted to provide him will extra strength. He came to our bible study and we had a short lesson with him after that went really well. The spirit was felt and he texted us this morning and Thanked us for the lesson and said that He really felt the Holy Ghost when He went home that night!!!! SUCH A WONDERFUL ANSWER TO OUR FAST!!! He leaves tomorrow and we are making letters that he can open each day to find a little extra strength!! I love you all and thank you for your support and prayers this week. The wrist feels better and better every day and I have more use of my fingers daily as well. Remember, the Lord knows you and what you need. Trust him!!! </span></div>

like the Lord has blessed me though because when most people are saying that it
is really hot, my reaction is "well I have been in worse"!!

this week to serve at a wedding!! This is the 3rd wedding that I have had the
privilege to help out at, and I must say that I enjoy them immensely. On Friday
we decorated the Gym with the help of the Relief Society presidency and Bishop.
The relief society made these awesome flower things that we put up everywhere
and we had Tar Paper that Sister Fleming found online. We put it over the sound
thingies on the side of the gym and then colored the words that were on them
with chalk. It is always fun to help out and I really enjoy it. On Saturday at
the wedding Sister Allard and I helped more by chopping lettuce, cutting Puff
Wheat squares and Rice crispy treats and more!! This wedding was for a
less-active and part member of the church, and it is really awesome to see what
service does for the softening of the hearts of others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

stories!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As Sister Allard and I
were finishing up the night on Saturday, we drove around a corner that we don't
normally drive and saw a dog that was bouncing around and roaming into every
nook and cranny. We decided to go and help find his owner. He had a collar
on but not a tag so as we knocked doors no one seemed to know whose dog he
was. We said a prayer and knocked on the next door. A guy answered and didn't
know who's dog he was but decided to help us by getting him some water. Then
his wife opened the window and said that it was the dog of a neighbor a couple
of doors down. So off we went and tried to find the owner with no luck with the
houses a coupe of doors down. The dog was really friendly... however because it
was a pit bull it was stronger then me and liked to roam so I let it go and it
ran after a rabbit a little ways off ahead of us. We kept walking to catch up
with it and then we saw this lady walking toward us. She asked us if it was our
dog, but when we said that we didn't know whose dog it was she decided to put
him in her back yard. We exchanged numbers and thanked her for everything. As
we were walking back to our car, another car pulled up next to us and asked us
if we had seen a dog... so back we went to the ladies house and got the dog for
them. Only did we find out that this dog was a she named Sarah and it had
jumped a 6 foot fence... again... to go out and roam. Crazy!!! The most crazy
part about it was when we finally got back to our car, we saw in front of us
the car that had picked up the dog and they pulled into the house of one of our
less-actives!!!!! SUCH A TENDER MERCY!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">That is really all of
the exciting news so far. We had dinner with a less-active family and the
Spanish elders last night. It was really nice to be able to get to know them
and their concerns. I love you all. All of our investigators are kind of in a
holding pattern right now, we are working on helping them continue to progress
as we get used to the new ward mission leader and how we can help our ward. I
hope that you all enjoy you week!! Happy CELEBRATION of whatever country you
are in right now week!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
