Well it was an exciting week with a tone of ups and downs! Had a super amazing last zone conference and it was very special to have an opportunity to bear my testimony one last time to everyone! Super crazy honestly. My mission has been very special and meaningful to me so it was a very bitter sweet moment. I had the great opportunity to be able to Skype one of the families I found in Sudbury that was baptized this past Saturday and talk to them for a little. It is amazing how much the gospel can impact individuals and families. They all had a new light and demeanor or about them that was extraordinary. I know this is only found through following Jesus Christ and His example can this new light and demeanor be found. Also was able to have a great surprise just yesterday as I went to one of the people I found on the bus just last transfers baptism. I was just planning on being there but they wanted to surprise me and asked me if I could confirm him in sacrament meeting! That is always a

This was a miraculous week filled with some amazing experiences and extraordinary events. To start off the week we put a girl on date for baptism that we found 2 weeks ago. She is originally from South Africa and has had some very spiritual experiences in her life. One of which she said she had a dream of a bright light coming down but she was unsure what it was. This was actually extremely key to her conversion as she was able to resonate with Joseph Smith experience very well when he was able to see a bright light and see God the Father and His son Jesus Christ. Instantly she expressed her belief in Joseph Smith. Following we read a passage from the Book of Mormon and said that feeling was reconfirmed. As we met with her each day at the church after her work this past week we had countless experiences that were very special. We were meeting with her after church on Sunday and she was able to express that she knew this was true and knew this is where she needed to be. We deci

Still out here in the beautiful city of Toronto. I have really grown to love this city an extreme amount, to the point I would move here if it had mountains. Honestly it is such a unique atmosphere and place. It is extremely worldly though in the sense of clothing, cars and houses  . I had some super cool experience this week that I am super grateful for. One was being able to get two of the people we found in the past week to general conference, which was so powerful by the way. I feel on your mission you get so much more out of general conference as you are extremely focused and attentive as you are striving to recieve revelation not only for yourself but those you are working with. This keeps you very laser focused as you are really trying to get all you can as you listen to each talk. I was able to have my departing interview with my mission president which was extremely special. It brought a lot of new light and understanding to my mission and the furture. Then to have general co

Hey everyone, this week was another grinding week finding wise ahah. This week consisted of talking to people 4 hours plus a day  . We came in and there wasn't one person being taught. We ended up being able to get 20+ numbers and 5 or 6 appointments, this message is sure powerful as we saw a tone of miracles finding. I can share a couple of the miracles that happened because we were follow the spirit...I guarantee it. So one that was super cool happened on Thursday. We were just walking around University of Toronto and we had been there for about an hour and a half. We were starting to want to sit down for a second so we decided we would do Companionship study (where we talking about what we studied) as we hadn't gotten a chance to do it yet. We remember there was a couple benches about a 10min walk back...which we decided to walk towards even though there was a lot of seating around us. We were about to sit down to do comp study and we saw this girl that we felt we sho

Surprise, we got transfer calls! I'll be leaving and heading to the heart of downtown Toronto. I will now be in the Toronto YSA ward and training a brand new missionary for my last transfer. Super hyped I am staying in the city and probably going to my dream area to end ahh....well this past transfer was pretty close to my dream area as well haha. It was another extremely bumping week. We were able to find 5 new, have 3 at church and three on date for baptism!! It is for sure bitter sweet but I know God has some crazy amazing things in store for Toronto YSA and us. This past week was sweet as my companion and I legit felt like celebrities  . We honestly had five or six people either come up to us or over hear us talking to someone else and want to hear more about the powerful message of the Restored Gospel. This truly shows me the power that comes from the message we have a great priviledge to share...let me emphasize it's not us it is the message we share! It is becau

Well the city is starting to get a little cooler weather wise...but the Lords work is still on fire haha. This week was another exemplary week for us. We were able to put another guy on date for baptism. He legit is so cool and has a sweet story behind him. So about two weeks ago we were on a bus that was so packed you could barely move lol (happens everyday during rush hours). Anyway we ended up some how right next to each other and got talking as per usual as we are always trying to talk with people. Anyway we ended up getting on the topic of the Book of Mormon as he hadn't ever heard of it but had been Christian in the past. We were heading to another teaching appointment so unfortunately we had to hop off before we got his number. But I managed to hand him a card with our number on it and told him to text us...which more often then not doesn't happen (like my whole mission I think I have had max 15 people text or call us from just giving them our number). We were sup
