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.
Love, Sister North
