Hey Everyone

Hey.
I am back in Regina Wahoo! I really am loving it here and everything, everyone about it. We have been so blessed this week. We moved into a new apartment both of us, and it had absolutely no food, so we were wondering what we were going to do, and well, the Lord provides because we went to see a couple of people and they gave us food, and then the Elders called and said that where the sisters were before there weren't going to be missionaries there and to come get all the food out of the apartment. So our needs were provided for. It was a good adventure for both of us. My mattress wasn't my favorite and so as were going to get the stuff from the other apartment we shoved a mattress folded up in our car, and got it to the other apartment and switched for the other mattress. Now I sleep great. We felt like we were on a special mission to get all this food, and other things we found we needed from the apartment. I am driving now, it is pretty fun, we have a really nice Malibu we drive that has quite the accelerator. It has been such a great week, full of meeting new people through street contacting, tracting, and we even were fed by a member today. What a blessing. and it was great. I love it here. I am doing well. Healthy and Happy. Thank you for all your prayers, I know I am being taken care of. The gospel is true, it really can bring us the greatest happiness. I hope we all can strive a little harder, to be a little better and to measure up to our potential. We truly have great things to acccomplish for ourselves and also for those around us that need our help. I love what I am doing. I love you all. Thank you for your many prayers, I know they are heard.

Love, Sister North

Can We Say Transfers....

Hello everyone....
Last night was transfer call night and we had the chance to talk to President Morgan and here where are next assignment is. And so he called I am....GOING TO REGINA. Wahoo. I am heading back to Regina but to go to the YSA (young single adult) ward to be with my legendary companion Sister Ferguson. Which is really exciting, because she was my trainer and now I get to kill her off (or be her last companion before she goes home). I am really excited to get a chance to be somewhere new with someone I love. I will be driving this transfer it has been a while since I have driven so it should be fun. hehe. Fortunately, Regina isn't quite as chaotic as Winnipeg. But to make things even better, there is a brand new sister coming out this transfer, and Sister jenkins my companion is training for the third time...impressive, but because she can't meet her till tomorrow I am taking the new sister out with me tracting or whatever we choose to do. So I have been entrusted to be her first comp in the field, well, temporary companion. So we are going to have a lot of fun tonight getting to work. It has been so great to be back in Winnipeg and see the people I love.

So monday we had FHE and we were making cardboard cars and painting them and different things. We decided to put ours together and make a police motorcycle with a side car since we needed to make one big enough for three. It was a great time... I was trying to get out of it but I ended up falling down and getting stuck in it...
it was really funny I did make it out but we laughed forever about it. So yesterday was amazing because it we worked so hard we ended up teach 7 lessons finding 2 new investigators, and setting a baptismal commitment. Winnipeg is picking up, Sister capps is lucky she is staying I love it here, but am excited to be with Sister Ferguson and back to the temple. We met a girl named Kashus who was really struggling with things in her life, we met her monday and then we went to see her Tuesday as we talked she got all emotional and said that she was praying for something to happen in her life and that we were an answer to her prayer. Also, Kim is getting baptized soon which is so great. There are so many blessings happening here in winnipeg. So now I am off to Regina to hopefully work for the same success. I really love being back out. I feel like I am happier than I have ever been, and that even when things are hard I am just happy to be back. It is amazing the joy that comes through service to our Heavenly Father. I love it. I really have a testimony that it is in the small and simple things that we really learn who we are and how to find the greatest amount of happiness. I love you all and hope that you are all doing well. thank you for your love and support.

Once more from Winnipeg

I am now back in Winnipeg. Wow what a weather difference. It is pretty rainy here which makes it humid which actually isn't that bad when the wind hits. I am loving the weather here because it is still cooled off. We have a baptism coming up July 26th, so we are getting ready for that, and it has been great to see the members and missionaries again. It is good to be back to what I know and what I am suppose to be doing. I really love the mission field. Especially in the canada winnipeg mission. We had members bring us buns last night (rolls). and just people are great here. It was great being home and seeing people I love and catching up, but it is equally as great to be back to the service. I am ready to go. I am really loving the mali.... and it is great to be back in another 3. Some things never change which is no problem to me. I am with sister capps (my old companion from oregon.) and sister jenkins and she is from wales.. I haven't ever served with her, so I am excited to. They are really great and were actually MTC companions. So the work is going well here. We are going to have a good time this weekend because there is a couple of ward activities and a baptism that we get to go to. So I am excited to be with the ward again and hopefully make an influence for good here. I hope everything is going well for all you...I love you, keep me updated on the good things going on in your
families and just remember the mission office has changed to:

845 Shaftesbury Boulevard
Winnipeg, MB R3P 0M5

I love the chance I have to go and serve the Lord. It really is a blessing. I
wish you all the best.

Love, Sister North
