Blessing!!!

 

Hiiii 

I hope you're all doing well and finding joy with the start of fall :-) it's that time for pumpkin everything woohoo! 

You know the weeks where you barely have time to eat??? That was this week. Not to mention the fire alarms in our building going off at 4am. So, so, sooo crazy busy but so worth it because it was just filled with miracles, one after the other. Just yesterday on our bikes we were stopped by a sweet lady who said "hi missionaries!" She expressed to us how grateful she was to see us because she didn’t know there were missionaries in this area! We later learned that she moved to Brampton right when Covid started and so she hasn't been able to go to church. She didn't even know where church was! We were happy to direct her to what she needed. God is still in the details! Also, while on our bikes this kind old lady offered to give me her scarf after I complimented it. I didn’t take it but that was seriously soooo Christ-like, wow. She was an angel.

Ok also this week the most miraculous thing happened. We had this amazing lady ask for a Bible! We met her and got to know her then we go to grab the Bible out of the car and find out we don't even have one. EPIC fail. It all worked out though cause this lady, Benita, was so understanding and we were able to give her one later that night. Even though it was such a big mistake on our part.. Benita just got a kick out of it and we were all just laughing by the end of it! Clearly God is still magnifying our messy efforts. We also got to give her a Book of Mormon. We were pretty hesitant at first but knew those feeling were not from God so we pushed past it and gave her the Book of Mormon and she responded with so much love and gratitude! Her response could have made our entire week, but God decided to continue showering blessings. 

So, the next day as we are walking back to our cute apt 914, we run into our neighbor, Kenneth!! He is such a cool guy and he always is just so kind and respectful to us. We got talking and eventually he said, "so when are you going to recruit me?" Hahah we asked him what he meant, and he told us that our cookie drop off a few weeks ago was what really got him thinking. He told us he wants to change, and he wants to have God in his life again. Everything about this was miracle. We never thought a cookie drop off would go such a long way. Sometimes it's the little things that bring about so much happiness and change. 

ALSO, we had in person church for the first time with the ward!!!! (Only 25 people in each session but that's ok) Kevin, Calisha and Chris all came to church. Chris afterwards told us that he could really feel God's love for him during the meeting. They are just such amazing people and God really has prepared their hearts! Oh and the Otesanya family came to church this week too which was so beautiful because it was their first time since their baptism. They are the most faithful family I know, and they are examples to me. Agh, I just love them! 

Hope you all have a wonderful week. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you <33.
