Remember

Hi everyone :)

For those of you who don't know, I'm serving in the Canada Toronto mission now! I got here on Monday and I am happy and well. I've actually got the best companions. I'm in a trio with Sister Smith who's from Brigham City, Utah and Sister Dunning who's from Calgary!! They are such great teachers because everything they say is so inspired. They have shown me so much love :') We laugh so much wow. They are just making this whole adjustment and change so much more manageable. 

I get to serve in the Churchville YSA ward!! The ward is SO amazing. The members love to minister and join in all our lessons. How cool is that?? It has been such a blessing and they honestly just feel like our friends I love it so much ahh. 

We have a friend named Nihar and He was our big miracle this week. He has gone through a mighty change of heart. He loves reading the Book of Mormon and has seen that as he keeps the

commandments he is blessed. He wants to get baptized!! He has been taught all the lessons and so now we have him praying about June 28th for his baptismal date :))

Ok and I just want to share this quick thought. Just yesterday I was reading in the Book of Mormon. Alma is talking to this group of people who hardened their hearts and who forgot about God's goodness. After they were delivered time after time, and after they witnessed God's hand in their lives, and after they felt His love… with time they forgot, and they fell away. They forgot who gave them everything. They forgot about His mercy and His love towards them. They forgot that their success and their happiness is because of Him! That is why we are constantly told to remember. That's why we are sometimes humbled. That's why we go through challenges and change. It is to REMEMBER Him!! I love the Book of Mormon because it is filled with examples of this. We need to hear what Alma is trying to talk to his people about and learn from it to improve our own lives and our own circumstances. Alma is reminding us that God IS the one who gave us everything. He IS the one who helped us, who brought us peace, joy, and strength. He really is the one we must always REMEMBER. He IS the light of this world. ☀️ 

I LOVE you all and hope you're doing well. Let me know if I can help with anything, even if it's just a prayer! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!
