Bonjour everyone :) 

This week was great! We had a snow storm on Monday night... We texted everyone and cancelled our YSA FHE because the roads were so bad but the Elders texted everyone and uncanceled it because they didn't want to sit in there apartments and so we all risked our lives and went to the church to play games... we played "murder in the dark" and it was terrifying but pretty darn fun. 
We got a new Elder in the area because Elder Cox went home, His name is Elder Argyle, he served in Fredericton which is great cause i can ask him about all the people i worked with there :) One of my old investigators got baptized last week!! woohoo!!



We had a hot chocolate stand this week, we just give out free hot chocolate and talk to people on the street as we do it. We were soooooo cold... BUT you know how i told you the story of finding that less active Steven? (form China) a while back when we were clearing off cars? WELL we found ANOTHER less active while we were doing our hot chocolate stand! His name is Michael and he is from Sweden. He ended up coming to church this sunday with Steven haha we told Bishop about him and he was like "Where do you keep finding all these people??" Apparently less active students are just crawling all over Wolfville! 

This is the first day of my last transfer!! I have been reflecting a lot on the things i have learned over the last 17 months and i must say that the greatest knowledge i have gained on my mission is the truthfulness of the Book Of Mormon. I am in awe of the many wonderful lessons and experiences i have had from this simple testament i am so grateful. The testimony i have gained of this book will carry me through any trial i face in my life and it is such a significant blessing. 

I hope everyone had a great Valentines day! I got a cute package from my mama, the picture of just me was during the snow storm, looks lame cause you cant actually see the snow.. and then our "Godfather" pictures that we took before Elder Cox went home.. they are pretty sweet. 

Love ya all!

Well Happy Valentines Day!!! We celebrated our valentines day with a BAPTISM!!! It was awesome! He and his wife have been getting taught by both us and the Elders for a long time (i think Elder Raymant was teaching them first?) And Nealson finally did it!!! !. It is amazing how God prepares people and puts them in the right path to discover the truth! 
Yesterday was a fun day... people were saying it was about 40-50cm of snow? I dont know how true that is but the snow banks are all taller than me now so i would say that is about right... We went to the church in the morning and only 7 people showed up to church which is better than cancelling!! And then we stayed at the church and just had all our lessons over skype instead. When we left at about 5 we got stuck in the parking lot but made it out after about 15 minutes so all was well. Luckily it was crazy windy and the snow was really light so it just blew right off the car haha We went to visit a former investigator that just lives across the street from the church and decided that it is obviously best to just walk. The snow in the front of the church had not been walked through most of the winter (we all go through the back) and so we trecked through waist deep snow to get to his house haha he wasnt even home..... 
This morning we had to dig our way into the church, the snow against the door was as tall as me!! But we made it inside!! Getting out is going to be just as fun haha but we really have been loving the snow. Sister Pitcher is only 5'3" so watching her waddle through the snow is absolutely hilarious. 

This week has been a great week for me, i feel as though my testimony has grown so much in this last while. I do not have a big spiritual story, nor an insane experience about why my testimony has grown so much. But God has blessed me with tender mercies every day to keep me going and gives me answers to my prayers every single day to keep me constantly aware of his existence. 
I was re-reading the Fourth Missionary talk and something that really stuck out to me was how it said that to live as the fourth missionary is the "only intelligent way" of living. ITS SO TRUE. God has promised us soooo many blessing, all we need to do is be obedient and have faith. So whenever i am feeling down because we have a small teaching pool i remember that God has promised us people to teach, and God never lies so obviously i am doing something wrong on my end, i find it, i fix it, and BAM we meet someone who is ready and eager to be taught about the gospel... ITS AMAZING. I seriously get so excited about this gospel. I can not show my excitement through words and i have a hard time writing out my testimony... But i promise you with all my heart that this church is true. We are being led by a Prophet who is called by God, the Book Of Mormon is the most true book on earth, and if you read it with sincere desire and a open heart, you will find a testimony and it will bring you more joy than any other earthly thing. The most amazing thing i have ever had the honor to do on my mission is give this promise to people. To give them the hope that God is there, and he loves them. Sharing this truth has brought me so much happiness and has really changed my life. I cannot deny the feelings i have felt, nor the miracles i witness every single day. 
I am over joyed to be a member of Christs army in these Latter Days, i thank everyone for there love and support. I am sorry i dont have any super funny stories this week! I really do wish i had a video of Sister Pitcher running through the snow... but sadly not. 
Love,
