The trees here are so gorgeous! There are so many trees,
like real trees! Not just evergreens! And they are all changing colors. I never
thought I would be a “leaf presser person”, but I can’t help it! I love these
bright red leaves! MAPLE LEAVES! I keep
picking them off the ground and putting them in my baby Book of Mormon and take
them home with me! One of our Recent Converts saw me do it and made fun of me!
But I don’t care :)
It felt like this week was slow.. All of our appointments
kept falling through and it felt like nothing was working out how it was
planned (missionary work for ya) But then a miracle happened! We had two
investigators at church! And we set them with baptismal dates! They were also progressing!
:) By the end of church we were only 2 member present lessons away from hitting
standards! So we asked one of our lovely members Emily to come out teaching
with us. We only had one lesson planned and were depending on our faith to have
a lesson on the street. We decided to go to a place called York Village
by York University to go street contacting. We
prayed before we got out of our car that we would find Gods prepared children
and to be able to have a lesson. We walked around a couple blocks and there was
no one out! Then we saw someone. He was totally not interested! But I asked him
how he has seen God in his life and he just opened up! He told us all about the
miracles he has seen recently and how he believes they came from God. We
testified that they were from God and Sister Droge said that us meeting that night
was also because of God. He freaked out about that comment and was like, “this
is creepy”!! But he said that he would love to hear our experiences with and
about Christ and accepted to read the Book of Mormon! It was such a miracle to
find him, and for him to be the first person we talked to! Miracles happen when
we pray with faith :)
Halloween was also super fun! :) Our District Leader, Elder
Ellis… got us some costumes! YEP, the mustaches are back ;) We wore them all
during weekly planning and had a blast! :) One of the recent converts also took
us to lunch. We went to a place called Tandori Flame. It’s an Indian buffet..
:) All the curry a Sister could ask for! I ate so much! And I am being so
brave! I eat what ever someone gives me. And it is all really yummy! The Trick
or Treater kids were sooo cute.
Sister Droge and I had so much fun with Kashra. She is an Amazing
Woman! She spent a day with us doing missionary work and took lots of pictures.
Ha Ha. She is a strong person and so
full of fun and love. She is a favorite of mine (:
And to answer all of your questions, yes Canada is
getting cold. It started to snow on Thursday. It didn’t stick though. It has
been around 5 degrees Celsius the past couple days.. But that is what my winter
coat is for eh?! :)
Love you all!!
