The Lord Plans Forward - September 20th, 2021

Bonjour tout le monde! This week was so incredible. I never know how to write these weekly emails, there is no possible way to write down everything I experienced, learned, and felt! This week was definitely a highlight of my mission. First of all, zone conference! Zone conference is such an edifying experience. Being in a room full of missionaries and hearing them bear their testimonies is so powerful. I just want to paraphrase some of the things that I felt - This church is Jesus Christ's church, and we are being led by Him every. day. As I missionary, it's my job to invite ALL to come unto Christ. Everyone deserves to hear this gospel and have the joy that comes from the covenant path. It's all about LOVE. Loving people as Christ would and being a friend to everyone! President Harkness' teaching was so powerful. He talked about how the Lord plans forward. Every experience we have prepares us for the future. Looking back I can see the ways the Lord prepared me for this mission, and it's been so comforting to apply that teaching to the experiences I'm having now. When I look at my trials with that perspective, it changes how I feel about them. I know that they are preparing me for something so much greater. God is in control! Our mission had such an amazing opportunity this weekend. We had a mission wide conference with Elder Cook, Elder Kearon, Elder Johnson, Brother Carter and their wives along with President and Sister Harkness. It was truly one of the most amazing meetings of my life. This gospel is joy. I feel so blessed to be alive in this time! There is such an urgency for missionary work and it is so exciting to feel. The spirit is real, and it is the most amazing gift we have. I am so grateful for the testimonies that were shared and how mine was strengthened. I know this gospel is true and I love it with my whole heart! Here's a quote I loved so much, "We aren't perfect people, but we can do perfect things everyday." - Sister Cook. I hope you all have an amazing week and I love you so much! - Sœur Hardy pics - district pday ballers - ma sœur and our fav green wall!

Allô à tous !! This week was wild. I had to say goodbye to sœur Rice:( and I got my new companion Sœur Tate ! She is new in the mission and I have already learned so much from her. I'm just feeling so grateful for this privilege I have to serve the Lord and come closer to Him. I am so excited for this Christmas season and the opportunity we have to focus more on Jesus Christ. I loved the Christmas devotional last night. Sister Cordon talked about how when we understand the significance behind the gift, it becomes priceless. The gift of our Saviors birth is the most priceless gift we have ever received. This Christmas I'm going to try to better understand the significance of Christ's mission and strengthen my relationship with Him. I love this quote by O. Vincent Haleck, 《When we study the life of our Savior and His teachings, we see Him amongst the people teaching, praying, lifting, and healing. When we emulate Him and do the things we see Him do, we begin to see a vi...

Bonjour mes amis!! This week was so crazy good. I loved it so much! We had a mission tour with Elder and Sister Johnson so every morning we were able to meet with the whole mission on zoom! It was so fun and the spirit taught me so much! It was so edifying. I wanted to share this scripture verse I loved from this week, Elder Johnson called it the formula for learning and personal revelation. Mosiah 2:9 "... hearken unto me, and open your ears that ye may hear, and your hearts that ye may understand, and your minds that the mysteries of God may be unfolded to your view." I know that God wants to speak to us. There may be things that He has been wanting to tell you! This week I'm going to look for those things and I hope you do too! Also, the most amazing thing happened this week! Our friend Alounal came to church with us!!! It was so special to be there with him and to watch him meet the members. He has a wife and 2 daughters, one who lives back in Haiti, and I cannot ...

Allô ! I am soaking up second I have left gere in Québec, I'm going to miss it so much. Even though we didn't have many appointments this week because people are so busy with the holidays, we had some really awesome experiences. One of my very favorite things in the world is watching the change that happens in people when they honestly seek Christ and are seeking to recognize the spirit. Our friend Olga described it perfectly when she was telling us about the big peace that she had in her heart and the happiness that she felt all week long. These past 2 transfers as a mission we've been studying the 5 gospels - Matt, Mark, Luke, Jean, and 3 Nephi. I have learned so much about my savior Jesus Christ, I could write à book about it. One thing that really stood out to me is Christ's capacity to heal. No matter where He was, He healed all who came unto Him with faith. I never found a time where Christ didn't heal someone when they came unto Him with faith. Christ s...
