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)

It was warming up here, the cold part is the wind. whew. Spring is a hopeful thought. Overall we are being pretty blessed. Sister Allan and Sister Capps looked at my wardrobe and were like honey you are going to melt this summer so we are going shopping today to pick out a couple things that can get me by... we are going to suzy sheer which is I think like a t.j. maxx. I love all of you so much and am grateful for the wonderful support I have at home.

Love, Sister North

Hello Family and Friends.

Well I am now serving in the Windy city of Winnipeg. The weather is getting much nicer, but the other days its was 70 kmh so we felt like we would get blown away but it just adds a little more fun. I am in a Young Single Adult ward so I am working with people that are my own age which is pretty funny. Very different from a family ward but is good because I can relate on different levels. My companions are sister Allan and Sister Capps. Sister Allan is obviously my fellow st. georgian and I found out that yes we do have accents. words such as field, idea, feel and fill. Supposedly we say it different but at least we can both pronounce it wrong together. hehe. I love it here! There are some amazing people. We have 3 baptismal dates for May 3. Heather- who is so good, and so excited about her baptism. her family is thrilled but I have never seen anyone so aglow when it comes to the church. Colleen- who was paegan and now has a great testimony of God and his love for her. She even took out all her ear piercings but one to be obedient right after we talked to her about it. and Yuki- who is Chinese and never knew of God before and last time we taught her she said she can just feel it even though she can't always understand what is being taught at church. They are amazing. I love you all. Thank you for your support. I know that this is where I am suppose to be and that teaching the gospel really brings me the most joy! I know that living the gospel will make us happier than anything else we can do! It changes our lives for the better. and we really can
be purified by the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Chirst. I love you all. Take
care. And I hope to hear from you soon.

Love, Sister North (up in the warming frozen north)

Lindsey and her newest companions.

Winnipeg

My area is now in winnipeg! I work in the YSA with all the young people so basically their college ward. My companions are Sister Allan from St. George, UT.(She is practically family) and Sister Capps who is from Portland, Oregon. They are both hilarious and they are hard workers. The weather has actually been quite cold the past few days. It had started to warm up and now it is freezing again. But I got to give it to these two sisters they are working out champs! The city is huge~ and there are so many people from so many nationalities. President Morgan lives here, and I have seen him twice this transfer so I think it will be nice to be serving around them. We won't seem them a lot, but occassionally so that is nice. The senior couples are the Heltons, work in the office, and the Hansons, who are city builders. Winnipeg is a lot different from Regina but it is fun.
So we as a companionship are playing the biggest losers with ourselves because i want to be healthier again, sister allan will be going home, and sister capps just wants to be healthy too. So it is going to be fun. So Linda... how did you figure out percentages? Lets see... We have set some stretching goals so we will be working hard which is good. I am going to be learning a lot. I am really happy and feel like things happen for a reason. So I was the only sister traveling into Winnipeg so they let me travel with two of the Zone Leaders. But before I left I said goodbye to some of my favorite people in Regina. One being Myles, who gave me a porcelein angel...it is very pretty. He really has a big heart. I love this area already, it will be a change from the family ward but there are great people here. I love the gospel it is true no matter where I serve, but I know that my morning studies are going to be more effective here so every transfer you learn something new. And I am excited to
see what I get to learn this time. I love you all. Thank you for your support. I
am excited to be here in Winnipeg so send any mail to the mission office.

First Transfer

This is all we received today:

Sister North wanted us to email you and let you know that she has been transferred to Winnipeg. The LDS web site is down, so she couldn't email you. Sister Ferguson is staying in Cambridge. Her companion is Sister Wertz. Sister Dietrich is going to Saskatoon. Could you please let everyone know to send Sister North's mail to the Mission Office in Winnipeg.
Thanks
Elder & Sister Davis
P.S. We are really going to miss her! We have grown very close. We do have some great pictures of her, with her funny looks!

New Pictures!
