Bonjour tout le monde!! This week was amazing! We had zone conférence this week! It is so powerful being gathered with so many missionnaires. We arranged a blitz for after zone conference and that was so much fun! So many miracles happened with all of us missionnaires out at the same time! I wanted to share an experience I had this week that really impacted me. To preface this story, missionary life is so much fun because sometimes all we have to do is say hello, people see our tags and then start unloading their whole life story to us! One morning we were walking an said hello to a guy in his car. He saw super anxious and started talking a mile a minute and telling us about his life. He was so confused and hurt, for almost an hour an a half we just stood there - we hardly said anything. My heart was SO HEAVY for Jonathan. This was one of the hardest conversations I've had because he had zero hope, it was so sad. He was carrying so much - he told us about how he was abused in his own home, was being harassed at work, had fallen off a roof a month ago which resulted in many health problems, strained relationships with his friends and family, all of his worries and speculations on world politics, and how he has a trial because of an unjust accusation. It was really cool because by the end of the conversation he was alright, he just needed someone to cry to and someone to listen. Christ focused on the one, and He listens to everyone! We were able to share that truth with Jonathan and I just pray that he will choose to accept it. I'm not sure if he will choose to turn to God or not, but I am grateful for that experience because it taught me so much! I was holding back tears listening to him because he was carrying so much, so many heavy burdens, and he didn't have to carry them! I just wanted him to turn to Jesus Christ and allow him to help. I KNOW there is so much healing and peace that comes through the Savior, and that with Him we never have to carry our burdens alone! If you have anything weighing on you, I hope you know that He can carry it with you! Also you can read mosiah 24:14 for comfort. I just wanted to share that experience this week, I hope you all have an amazing week!

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...

Mission Tour - Monday October 18, 2021

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...
