P-Day # 103 - Great Lessons, Exchanges and The Infamous Milk Jug Date.....

HI Mom and Dad, 

This week, we had the opportunity to teach our investigator the Law of Chastity and we also followed up on the commitment we left her to pray about baptism. As we started talking to her, she related that she felt like she had received an answer to her prayers but just didn't have the "umph" to set a date. We are hoping with time that she will set a date.

We also had the privilege of teaching our recent convert about eternal marriage and also about missionary work. She had some great questions and she is really excited to go to the temple and do baptism for her ancestors.

Mom Found My Mission Return Date on The Milk Jug
...So It's Getting Close!

We went on exchanges with our Zone Leaders this week and we were able to work effectively and also teach effectively too. We were able to talk with a man about The Book of Mormon and how it relates to the Bible. He didn't seem very interested at first but after we talked to him a little bit more, he said that we could come back. We are hoping that we can meet with him this upcoming week. It’s been a good week.

P-Day #102 - Going to Jail, Having A Baptism & Visiting the CN Tower...

HI Mom and Dad, 

This week we were able to have a baptism. Our investigator made her date for baptism and we are so happy she made this promise with God. We had a lot of preparations to make before the baptism. 

Cleaning the font and making the program, which was a MIRACLE, then we were able to get all the things we needed to do done before it started. Things went great and we were able to confirm her this past Sunday making her a member of the church. She was very happy and the ward welcomed her with open arms. Happy Days!

We had the opportunity to do some service for a Sister in the Ward. She needed some help weeding her steps around her house. We were able to help her hang up a wind sock in the shape of a fish. I thought it was pretty cool. She was grateful that we had come over and all was well with her.

We also had an opportunity to go visit a friend who is in jail and teach him about how we can find peace even in the midst of trials and conflict. We taught about seeing the bright side of things even when they look so bleak. He told us that our visits helped him and that he would like to keep having visits from us. We told him that we could keep doing that and he was happy.

All in all, I think we did a lot of good this week.

On Monday, our P-Day, we were able to go the CN Tower, Ontario's version of the Space Needle...Enjoy the pics...

Love You and Remember I pray for you every night and day!

P-Day #101 - Baptism Date Set, A Members 100th Birthday Party and "Top Gun" Hamburgers...

MMMMMM...I'm Hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mom & Dad, 

This week, we had the opportunity to teach one of our new investigators the Word of Wisdom and in the middle of the lesson she told us that she spoke French. So, I had the opportunity to share the gospel in French with her and she was excited that she had found another person who spoke French in the area. She spoke really good English, too! So, either language was working for her. We were able to teach her the Restoration and about how the Gospel can bless families.

We also had the opportunity to teach some of the last lessons that need to be taught before Baptism to our investigator who is going to be baptized in the upcoming week. We were able to show her the baptismal font and talk with her about how it will be done, so she wouldn't be nervous. She seemed to like it and she is still excited about it. 

Scarborough, Ontario outside of Toronto at Night....

We were able to participate in a celebration for a man in our ward who turned 100 this week and it was great to see all of his family gather around and see the joy that he had through his 100 year life. 

MMMMMM, Told You I Was Hungry!!!!!!!

I had the opportunity to go on exchanges with the Farsi speaking Missionaries and teach with the other Elder the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was great being able to talk with him about what he called "was missing" from other religions.

This is a quick Blog this week.

P-Day #100 - Teaching Great Lessons, The Toronto Waterfront and T-Bone Steaks....

Hi Mom and Dad,

This week we were able to have a great lesson with our investigator. We were able to teach her the Law of Chastity and the Word of Wisdom in one lesson and she said that she would live both. We then asked her if she would read the Law of Tithing pamphlets for next lesson and she said "Oh that one, I already read that and ya, I can live the Law of Tithing". We were surprised! We then briefly went over the law and she understood it all. It was awesome the Spirit prepared her in every way.

We had the opportunity to meet with a man who was in jail. He has been going through some rough things in his life and we were able to talk to him about trials and how trials can help us become stronger. He seemed grateful that we had stopped by and I think we helped him in a small way. We had another great lesson with another investigator about the Restoration. He told us that it made sense and had some other great questions about the church.  We look forward to teaching him.

We had the opportunity to do some service for a sister in the ward and planted some flowers for her. We also gave her a Priesthood Blessing. She was grateful and she said that we had brightened up her day. For our P-Day, we went to Toronto and walked around the Waterfront. They had this cool sidewalk that they made that looked like waves. They call it the "Wave-deck".

Also found a Great Steak Place called T-Bones Sizzling Steaks & Burgers Drive-In Restaurant. By the way, I may have to use my personal debit card a few times this month...haha!

Here are some more pics from the water front.

Remember I love You and Pray for you every night and day!
