Pictures from Zone Conference




It was warming up here, the cold part is the wind. whew. Spring is a hopeful thought. Overall we are being pretty blessed. Sister Allan and Sister Capps looked at my wardrobe and were like honey you are going to melt this summer so we are going shopping today to pick out a couple things that can get me by... we are going to suzy sheer which is I think like a t.j. maxx. I love all of you so much and am grateful for the wonderful support I have at home.

Love, Sister North

Hello Family and Friends.

Well I am now serving in the Windy city of Winnipeg. The weather is getting much nicer, but the other days its was 70 kmh so we felt like we would get blown away but it just adds a little more fun. I am in a Young Single Adult ward so I am working with people that are my own age which is pretty funny. Very different from a family ward but is good because I can relate on different levels. My companions are sister Allan and Sister Capps. Sister Allan is obviously my fellow st. georgian and I found out that yes we do have accents. words such as field, idea, feel and fill. Supposedly we say it different but at least we can both pronounce it wrong together. hehe. I love it here! There are some amazing people. We have 3 baptismal dates for May 3. Heather- who is so good, and so excited about her baptism. her family is thrilled but I have never seen anyone so aglow when it comes to the church. Colleen- who was paegan and now has a great testimony of God and his love for her. She even took out all her ear piercings but one to be obedient right after we talked to her about it. and Yuki- who is Chinese and never knew of God before and last time we taught her she said she can just feel it even though she can't always understand what is being taught at church. They are amazing. I love you all. Thank you for your support. I know that this is where I am suppose to be and that teaching the gospel really brings me the most joy! I know that living the gospel will make us happier than anything else we can do! It changes our lives for the better. and we really can
be purified by the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Chirst. I love you all. Take
care. And I hope to hear from you soon.

Love, Sister North (up in the warming frozen north)
