News from the North

Hello everyone!
Reports from The Windy city of Winnipeg. So the weather has become something beautiful! Today at our activity I was getting pretty warm. What a grand change. The Baptisms were amazing the spirit was so strong! Heather and Colleen looked beautiful in white and I really know that they were making amazing choices in their lives. I love them so much, and really can see them becoming strong members of the church. So last night was fun because as I called in to the District Leader, Sister Ferguson and sister capps got into a water fight next thing I knew I was covered in water as well, I think Elder Cutright was a little confused but to say the least we were wet but happy. I love the people here in canada so much. We really have some amazing members, right now we are working on building the area after the 2 baptisms and really its a lot of work, but its worth doing. Sister Ferguson and I sometimes beat up on each other as far as tackling when one isn't paying attention, its good exercise. hehe. I am learning a lot, and really trying to learn everything I possibly can. The other day in my studies I was learning about personal apostasy and it was such an interesting topic because well, even when we are slacking on the basic things of reading our scriptures, saying meaningful prayers, and going to church, we are having our own mini apostasies. It is so important to stand firm in all things. I love the gospel and how it really changes peoples lives for the better. Yesterday we talked to this guy on the street, and he was like sure lets talk religion. He was really smart and as we talked his desire to learn and to read from the book of mormon grew because, The book of Mormon answers the questions of the soul, so now he is coming to a pot luck and will start investigating the church and who knew if we wouldn't have talked to him what would have happened. There are
people all around who are ready, which is a crazy thought. But we do meet some crazy people on the street, who you just wonder what in the world they are thinking, but it is good fun. You just laugh. Such as meeting Elijah the Prophet who told us the New Jerusalem is right here in Winnipeg, who knew? And that they world is going to tilt to the 23 parallel so that those here in Winnipeg will have the best view, and the best weather... good thing I came here... whew! I love you all. Thank you for all of your support. I am lucky to have the amazing friends and family that I do. Take care!
Love, Sister North ( from the not so frozen north now)
