Let Him In

Hii

How is everyone?? My thoughts are a bit scattered so sorry in advance haha! 

We had SUCH a great week here in Churchville. I love Ontario!!! The flowers are beautiful, the people are so kind, the diversity reminds me a lot of Sydney. I still see familiar places like Tim Horton's which makes me remember I'm not too far from home :') It's just all happy and good things. We went on a couple bike rides this week.. SO FUN! My companions make me laugh so hard my stomach hurts. I'm just so grateful. Coming back out and leaving the comfort of being of home, was hard for me but has strengthened my love for God. I know that when we put Him first, HE BLESSES US. I have seen this pattern in my own lifetime and time again. The Lord loves effort! 

I am just amazed with how busy we are as missionaries despite being in isolation. God blessed me with a remarkable area full of friends who are ready and prepared to hear our message. 

Nihar is still on date for June 28th!!! :) We went over the ten commandments with him this week and he was just so happy about them and so willing to follow. We also had a member join the lesson and he is starting to become best of friends with Nihar which is SO COOL! The members here in YSA just amaze me. They are so dedicated and are always happy to help teach with us. 

We had some other great moments this week. On Friday my companions and I drove up to Barrie to drop off food donations from the Church to two different food banks! So humbling to be a part of. Our friend Obula also just got the Aaronic Priesthood yesterday ahhh!!! So awesome that we get to watch him take steps to come closer to Christ. It brings me so much JOY. 

The highlight of my week though was yesterday when we had a lesson with our friend Kevin. It went SO well, and it honestly just brought me to tears. Right after the lesson my companions and I got on our knees and said a prayer of gratitude! Those are the moments that I hope I never forget. Those moments are the reason why I do this. It is so rewarding. Gods light and love keep me going. He is the reason why I keep trying to do better and be better everyday. I really do love missionary work.

I love you all so much!!! Have such a great week. Keep God first in everything. I know that all our experiences in life are for our growth. He is preparing our hearts and molding us into the people He wants us to become. Let Him in and let Him change your heart. He is the light!
