Transfers

Hey Family!
How are you doing? So wow... there is a lot going on. Transfer calls were last night, and well I am moving! I am heading to a place called Portage la Prairie which is about 45 minutes away from Winnipeg. It is outlining so we won't be with that many other missionaries. My new Companions is sister Henderson. She has been out 2 transfers, and I am excited to go work hard with her. She is sweet. I took her out her first day in the mission field back when I was in Winnipeg. So I am excited to serve with her again. Sister Sullivan is also leaving heading to a place called Kenora. Which she will love! Because there are more hills, water, and trees. Surroundings that she is more familiar to, and a small town. We are sad to be leaving each other but excited to see what outlining is like. We have had a good transfer together, and I love her a lot. I will miss the good times.
So we can only have 2 suitcases and 1 carryon bag. and well.... I have a little more than that, so I am considering wearing half my clothes. We were practicing today and hehe... I think I put 18 articles of clothing on. I had shorts, 2 pairs sweatpants, 4 skirts, 3 tank tops, 3 shirts, a t-shirt, a light sweater, a sweater vest, a sweater, and 2 blazers. hehe. I looked like a marshmallow, and felt like one too. it was pretty funny were were laughing about it. but we are doing everything so that I can fit everything in my suitcases and make it to where we are going. hehe. So it is completely entertaining. hehe.
We have had a good week, and have been working really hard. I love the work we get to do and to really be able to get to know these people we teach. I love them so much. we had to say goodbye to Stephanie today and it broke my heart. The people we teach out here become a part of us. And I know that without them the work would be harder, but teaching amazing people makes the work not so hard. It is really is a blessing. I love it.
I hope you all have a wonderful week. I am grateful for all of you, and the chance I have to get to keep in touch. I am blessed so much, to have the family that I have. Happy Holidays! I will talk to you soon....
Love you all.

Love, sister north

Last week.

I am so excited for conference this week. It is going to be amazing. How many times can you say "come listen to a prophets voice..." well twice a year for sure. But what an amazing opportunity. It is so important to learn as much as possible. Stephanie (our investigator) will be coming. All she needs is a big enough confirmation that the church is true and I know she will be able to quit all the habits. I know she will come along. She is doing good. And we had a really good lesson with her. We Love her so much and really just want her to be happy.

We got to go to the Relief Society Broadcast. We had to go to the dinner they were having late. And the men who were helping with dinner helped us get everything we needed to be completely stuffed. There are some really great members here in Canada that I love a lot. The interesting part, is how grateful I was to see these familiar faces from the family ward and just remember great memories past. We were fed well physically, and then we went to get spiritually fed. Which was amazing. I LOVED ALL THE SPEAKERS at that broadcast. Each one was powerful, and stephanie didn't go so we went to her house later and talked about them, then she told us that she went onto the website to look them up, and listened to 2 or 3 of the 4 of them wow! I loved it! It was a great chance for her to listen to them.

Love,
Sister North
