And one thing side note: falls here are sooo beautiful! Like
in AB we don't have falls that is just a fact; compared to these falls there is
no fall in Alberta just summer spring and winter! haha. Like we literally have
no snow and no coldness yet!

| Sis. Aslett and Paige love serving together! |
Alrighty, alrighty so lets begin on this crazy week!! It has
been a freaking tough week! But it is okay I love my companion and we are having
the time of our lives and nothing is going to get us down; dispite the down
falls and trials that have been placed in our hands this week. We still have
been able to smile and laugh and not let these things get us down. Just like
Alma and the sons of Mosiah we are "bearing patience with all manner of
afflictions" :).... and mom don't stress or worry it comes with the role of
being a missionary- I am doing great and am just character
building!
OKayyy so I am just going to go day by
day;
Monday evening we were able to meet Kate here and go over the
baptismal interview questions. President Leavitt interviewed them bother over
skype. Tanya was first things went great! So it was wonderful! Whoo hoo! Kate
and Tanya are able to be baptised this Friday with one another and they both
were looking forward and were very excited. Kate sent us text messages like 3
paragraph ones thanking us for teaching her and saying that we inspire her.
President Leavitt said that Kate thinks we walk on water haha. Then that
evening Sister Aslett and I went and knocked in Wolfville, knocked into a lady
whose husband is from England and is a LA member! PERFECT, we weren't able to
get in and teach but we will be stopping by again.
So Tuesday: we had a lesson with Thomas with a member (thomas
is a 19yr who we started teaching last week- very humble and willing to
experiment to see if there is a God through acting upon our message) President
Leavitt came and had in person interviews with us on Tuesday he is a wonderful
Mission President and I am so grateful for him!
So Wednesday: We started first thing in the morning by
teaching a guy named Cameron Johnson he is 23 and from the Bahamas! Then we had
correlation meeting with the ward mission leader Bro Hudson, then we decided to
go stop by Kate's since we have not heard from her. Unfortunately it wasn't the
best visit. President has been very supportive and helped us feel alot better.
It saddens me to see her struggle with being able to enjoy the complete
blessings of the gospel in her life. All we can do is pray for her and boy oh
boy just being a missionary prepare for parenting!! Literally felt and still
some what feel sick to my stomach for her; and mom and dad while I was feeling
this way all i could think was wow I was such a brat to my parents because I
definitely I put you through these similar feelings!! Funny how things have its
way of sorting its self out! But look at your faith and where it has led things
to from now till today and I know it can do the same for Kate one
day!
Weds evening we are able to pick up 1 new investigator so at
the end of the new day we are blessed with 2 new investigators!
Thursday: We had our last lesson with John before he leaves
home to Barbados! We had a lesson with Thomas again and it was a very spiritual
lesson where we taught him so much
Friday : Tanya's baptism it was probably one of the most
amazing baptisms she was just glowing and so excited the whole time! We picked
up a new Chinese investigators! We are teaching two Chinese people at the time
being and one of them who will be making us Chinese food tonight and having us
over for dinner!
Saturday: We taught Gage and his girlfriend it went great! His mother
is LA and we were able to teach them all and address his mothers concerns. Gage
has a testimony and is very Spiritual, his gf is unsure. I have faith they will
be baptised one day though!
Yesterday at church the Bishop asked to meet with us; he
reassured us that we are doing well and that the ward is getting more and more
excited and involved, due to the missionary work being done. It was very
thoughtful and we very much appreciated it. The Gospel principles teacher
called us an hr before church and said she was sick and asked if we could teach
so I taught my first gospel principles Sunday school class! It was on the
sacrament!! It went really well!! Was blessed with having lots of participation
in the class! We were able to contact and invite 288 people this week!! It was
great!
We will be going on visits this Tuesday to Wednesday with the
Halifax YSA sisters! I get to have dinner at Erica's house while on visits and
teach her, I am quite excited for that! Then next week we will be having visits
with the Halifax Family ward sisters. I look forward to helping the sisters out
as their areas are struggling. They only have been contacting 100 ppl on
average a week and not getting best numbers! I just want to love them and lead
by example. I know that I am so inadequate to this calling, just as I am as a
missionary but through Christ I can do all things!! I have a firm strong
testimony in the enabling power of the atonement!
We are in a growing stage but I have faith that we are on the
brink of something amazing! I know the Lord is preparing many and that despite
the down falls, the adversary is not going to get in the way of the momentum of
this great and marvellous work!! I know this is the Lords work! WE are the Lords
work!
I started reading the New Testament this week ! and That is
AMAZING a WHOLE new conversion level!!! I LOVE reading Christ's words and what he
says; it is amazing to read and listen and learn about Christ's character. Just
really helps me see how much there is to become in this life so that one day we
can be like him! I love this gospel and I love our Savoir Jesus Christ's example
and all that he does for me. He live and loves us and we all can Be perfected
through him so that one day we can be like him and recognize Him as our Lord
Savior Jesus Christ.
If you haven't read the New Testament I would strongly
suggest it, I feel like I have procrastinated. So many more blessings in store
from reading such a marvellous volume of scripture to strengthen us and bring us
closer to our Father in Heaven.
I love you all and hope you have a great
week!
LOVE
Sister Pizzey
