So funny story. like 2 days ago we were out trying to find this ladies house so we went to one door and we went and knocked and no one was home at the first house so we were leaving and walking across their driveway and i totally fell. It was so funny beause sister ferguson turns around to me on the ground first fall in cananda. We were laughing so hard, we finally made it to the second the door and knocked on it and there was a lady home so we talked to her and then we left and walking down the sidewalk that goes to the driveway and i slipped again and this time I took sister ferguson with me. I haven't laughed so hard in so long and today i had a huge bruise on my leg that I am going show off at pday activity hehe. It was hilarious we couldn't stop laughing, i was like crying, and i was sure we had made quite impression to the car driving by when it happened. It was entertaining though. Today is a cold day! it is like -33 with windchill but thats all part of the fun.
Oh yah, So me and sister Ferguson had a bonding moment the other day...hehe... we decided to sleep on our balcony. hehe. It was a lot of fun, we took pictures and just laughed. I guess I like my own bed because by the end of the night she was towards the end. We ended up going in at around four. But it was really fun! No worries we are still healthy and it wasn't too cold. But now today is FREEZING so we were lucky to find a mild night. Today is -30's with windchill so I imagine tonight they aren't going to stress knocking doors just going to your appointments you have.
I do love it here, and we are teaching a really intense word of wisdom lesson tonight with some of our investigators Kathy and Rayne. We really have been blessed this week and we are really trying keep things progressing.
And I have gotten mail from the hammers, grandma and grandpa hafen, ashley, and a card about sister missionaries at my apartment, thanks fam! Sister Ferguson and I have done a lot of fun things are really enjoying each others company.
Love, Sister North (Lou)

Happy New Year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! First of all, I want to tell Linda and Maudi thank you for the present and the great drawing, I hung it up on my wall next to me. And thank you
Grandma and Mitzie for presents too, food is always a nice addition, and the pictures of home made me smile.
I have a good story about the temple this week. At dinner with the Quintons, Mr. Quinton told us that one day there was a man who came and was looking around the temple. President Evanson went out to meet him, and asked if he could help him, he said that he drives by there everyday and everyday he feels something when he passes. They talked for a minute and President Evanson explained a little about the temple. He didn't give his name but I really liked how he could recognize a difference. He also mentioned a muslim guy who comes to visit once in a while here in Regina and he visits the temple when he does and walks around, once again President Evanson went to talk to him and found out that he too could feel God here. He kissed his hand and told him he was a man of God and left. Sometimes I get these small realizations, and this one was how blessed we are to have a temple so close and that so many people here in Regina went through the open house at the temple and saw the beauty and always comment that we are good neighbors, and they are always very gracious about the temple and the members that visit it. Sister Quinton said that every time they are doing baptisms for the dead, there is a different feeling
in there, and also when the missionaries come. And I always take for granted having that temple close by and not always taking full advantage of those blessings. I love the Spirit so much, and it is amazing the difference of having it and and not having it with you really is. There is greater happiness in living the gospel than imaginable. Today I read Alma 39-42 and wow, we have so many answers about questions people ask that don't know where to find them. I am greatful for the gospel in my life. Don't be afraid to have a conversation about one principle of the gospel, and more importantly, don't take for granted to opportunities you have to have that Spirit more abundantly in your life, because it will come if you want it to. I love you all, take care. I am sending a funny story so you are going to have to wait till it gets there... but I think you will like it!
Love, Sister North ... don't worry I am not always so serious here. Hehe.
