Mya's Mission

What a week! So much has happened this week I hope I can remember it all! I flew to Montreal on Tuesday with 10 other missionaries! That night we went to the mission home to meet with President and Sister Harkness. They are absolutely incredible. I felt the spirit so strong in their home and I'm so grateful to be serving in this mission. The missionaries here are so amazing, I have so much to learn from them. I am so excited to finally be here! My trainer is sœur Gibb from Edmonton and she is an angel. She has been SO helpful and loving. I feel so blessed to have her as my trainer. She is the kindest. Right now we are covering 3 branches, one in Lévis! They call it the paradise, I love it so much! Québec is absolutely beautiful, the buildings and flowers make me so happy! The people here are incredible. Missionary work is blossoming in Lévis because of the members. It has been so humbling to see. This Sunday we went to church at the Centre de congrès, it's basically just a b...

Bonjour tout le monde! Holy cow what a week. My heart is so full. This was my last week of the home mtc with my district, I am going to miss them so much. It's insane how much I have changed in these past 6 weeks. My testimony has been strengthened and my love for Jesus Christ has increased so much. I never could've imagined how much I would come to love the missionaries in my district, they have had such a big impact on me. We became so close, they're like a little family to me. Starting at a computer screen for 8+ hours a day was so worth it. They are all such amazing missionaries and I feel so blessed to have been in the district I was! It was a bittersweet goodbye! I'm getting ready to fly out on Tuesday! The mtc flew by, I can't believe I have already finished a month and a bit of my mission. I think one of the most important things I learned in the mtc was the importance of loving people. Loving people the way God loves them. My mission purpose is so much de...

Bonjour mes amis!! Welcome back to another update from Soeur Hardy. I hope you all had a happy week! These weeks just keep getting faster. I have one week left in the mtc and then I fly out. It went by so fast, I can't even believe it. I am so grateful for everything I have learned and felt through this experience. It has been very busy, but I wouldn't want it any other way! My testimony of this gospel has been strengthened so much and I have gained an even deeper love for my Saviour and for all my brothers and sisters here on this earth. This week was the best week yet. For real, we got the best news. My companions' reassignment got cancelled!! SO SHE IS COMING TO MONTREAL! I cried the happiest tears when I found out. She would've been amazing in Texas, but I'm so glad she's coming to Montreal. She has seriously been one of the biggest blessings of my mtc experience. I am so stoked to meet her in real life! It's going to be the best reunion. God is so ...

Bonjour mes amis!! These weeks are flying by so fast. It's crazy. I just got my flight plans this week so that is exciting! I'm flying out to Montreal in just over two weeks! I cannot wait! Although, two more weeks of language learning isn't nearly enough for me. It's a bit intimidating to think that I'll be in the field that soon, but I'm so excited. I've really learned how to rely on the spirit through the MTC. There's now way I would be able to understand and learn this much without help. Brookie lan's birthday was this week! Sweet sixteen! I am so happy I was able to be home for that. Having this extra time with my family has been such a blessing. Also I'm so proud of her for passing her drivers, now I have another companion to drive me around! Yayyy! I hope you know how amazing you are sis, love you tons. Here's a quote for you all, it's one of my favs. "Those who leave everything in God's hands will eventually see God...

  Bonjour tout le monde!! I hope you all had an amazing week! The home MTC is the best because I am still able to spend a little bit of time with my friends and family. That has been such a blessing!  This week we started full french immersion classes. It's been hard but I have already learned so much french in these past couple days. My teachers are amazing at helping us understand their questions. Honestly it's a miracle that I am understanding as much as I am (which isn't a ton haha), but I know God will continue to help me learn this language as I work for it! My mom took a bit of french in highschool and has been using it all the time at home, so that's been super fun for me! I'm never sure if she's saying an actual french word, or just using a french accent when she speaks english! Either way I love it!  My companion and I taught our first lesson in french this week. AHHHH. It was crazy. I definitely wasn't ready to have a full on conversati...

  Bonjour everyone!   This week was another amazing week. I am just blown away by everything that happened. I saw so many miracles, and my heart is so full. I hope in these weekly emails I am able to help even just one of you through sharing my experiences and the things that have helped me most. One of my teachers described this training experience by saying, "the days are like weeks, and the weeks are like days." Nothing could be more true. I feel like I learn soooo much every single day about Jesus Christ and this gospel, but it's so hard to believe I've been a missionary for 2 weeks! I love being a missionary so much. I never knew I could feel the spirit so strong through zoom, talking with people I've only known for a few short weeks. I love it so much.  My district is so much fun. We have gotten so close and I've laughed so hard this week. Almost all the missionaries in my district are from the USA. Half of them are serving in Montreal with me so I am so...

  Bonjour friends and family!! I've been in the MTC for almost one week and it has been the most incredible experience. I have learned SO much and have strengthened my testimony more than I ever thought was possible in 6 days. I'm so busy with classes and language study everyday but I wouldn't want it any other way! My district is so much fun. There are 12 missionaries in my group and classes are so good. I am blown away by how amazing my teachers are. They are so wise and spiritual,  I have grown so much this past week. Online MTC is such a blessing. Also, I have the most amazing companion!!! She is literally the best, I feel like I've known her my whole life! We became best friends in no time! She loves to work and pushes me which I am so grateful for. We have set some pretty high goals for ourselves but I know that God will help us accomplish them. Soeur Winterton and I are the only sisters in our district so it's a fun time! We laugh so much every class it's...
