So this week has been a lot of fun. So we met this girl named Stephanie this week. She is the light of our lives. The first day we met her we got to know her and invited her to church. She accepted. We got to see her saturday as well. It was so good. She has such amazing interest levels. We gave her a pamphlet that she read and had questions about so when we taught the next lesson she already knew what we were going to say. It was so great. She asks a lot of questions and has a great love for her family. It is so fun. We had a great chance to address her concerns and discuss a lot of the commandments and a variety of topics. And to our astonishment she is already living most of them. She is doing great. She loved church. The members loved her. and she asked if they would be there next week. hehe. The meetings on sunday were amazing! I love it! She is really great! So I really love teaching the gospel. and those that listen to it. An amazing story this week.
We had a great prank we pulled on the Elders this week. We snuck over there, and we put a bunch of alarm clocks hidden in their apartments. We love good pranks... so we went during lunch, and they had meetings. well they with dumb luck found one of the alarm clocks and new a prank was being pulled. There was 4 altogether but only 2 worked because the found the other 2. But it was a good prank. And made our lunch a lot more entertaining.I have to be off. But I love you all and hope all is well with you. Pictures will probably come later of our adventures. love you all.
Love, Sister North

The Latest
So it's been another crazy week. It started out really interesting, We have these neighbors below us that started having a full blown screaming match. It got to the point that we thought violence was involved and called the RCMP. (cops.) and they came and so did an ambulence, but because we are very nosy neighbors we saw the gentlemen leave with a hurt hand we think, and the girl was walking and doing things, so overall, we haven't heard any fighting since so we really don't know what happened so we were a little flustered by it. and our air conditioner just barely broke hehe. So it is getting warmer and warmer in our apartment and outside isn't so cool anymore. So we are pretty warm.
The best part of our week was getting to have Zone Conference for a number of reasons. We first, got to see our Mission President and his Wife. I love them. And they really help set an amazing tone for our meeting. Second, we had a general authority come speak to us named Spencer V. Jones from the quorum of the seventies. He was amazing. He felt the love and the spirit radiate and he got to know us and as he taught. His Wife was with him, and she is a fiery thing. Sister Morgan talked about improving our prayers, and told a great story of a convert in Phillipines and how he learned to pray. President Morgan talked about appreciated the things around us even the flowers, the moon, and all the great things there are. (we were asked to go buy flowers for zone conference they were beautiful fuscia gerber daisies and yellow lillies and little white and lavender flowers.. they were nice). Sister Jones talked about trials and overcoming them to "Buck UP" and face them with strength. It was great. I sang "How Great Thou Art" with sister Ferguson, Elder Tieken, and Elder Davis... with Elder Goettel accompanying. It was really nice. but I was so scared. However, the spirit was really strong. Then Elder Jones spoke about how we learn, the bigger plan of why we are missionaries.. to Baptize and Retain so they can reach Exaltation, and how to commit people effectively. Every time he taught it was powerful. The time went so fast, and when it was done, I was sad, I longed for more. But it was a great meeting, and I learned a lot.
Overall things here in Regina are good. We are still trying to find those that are ready but we are learning a lot and really coming to enjoy the things here in Regina. The other missionaries from Saskatoon, came down for the conference. It was really fun to have sister peterson and sister Dietrich stay with us. We laughed about funny memories, caught up on everything we missed, and really just loved being together. It was short lived, but great to have them here.
I love you all, thanks for the support. I hope all is well and that you are
happy and healthy. I know that the gospel is true, and really brings us the
greatest happiness and peace when we live it. I know that everything we do is based on the beautiful principle of Faith, and that our true goal should be to have the
vision of returning back to our Loving Heavenly Father. I will talk to you soon.
Love you tons.
