Spring Came

And then it left…

Seriously for a good three days we had weather in around the tens and teens! We finally had positive degree weather! (Celsius mind you) All the snow and ice that was on the roads melted away and for the first time I saw the parking lines in the church parking lot here! The four or five foot tundras here melted to be around three feet! Look at that! We could finally see the address numbers from our car again! So we hung up our thick winter coats and switched them over to our fall coats for those wonderful three days of warmth! We went to sleep that night with only two blankets on and then woke up still beaming with the excitement of spring! And then made it to the window opened the blinds to let the sun in! And! (record scratch)…It had snowed a foot over night….

Canada gave a psych out…well played… well played…

So besides the weather a lot has happened this week! We have seen so many beautiful answers to our prayers and to others. And one of the most amazing stories is this that I want to share with you.

Just before a lesson my companion and I had had a minor disagreement on where to place the plastic tray that holds our winter boots. We had gotten into the car and headed to the lesson politely saying nothing. Before saying our traditional prayer before exiting the car we both turned to each other and realized in those minutes we had been annoyed that we had lost the companionship of the spirit. It was just a simple and small disagreement but we had lost it. So realizing this we searched to fix it. We talked it out. Gave our apologies and then said the prayer, inviting the spirit back into our companionship and asked that he may help us to be guided during the lesson.

We then left the car in a much better place than we were when we had gotten into it. Our lesson was with a less active who had not been to church in over two years. We had prepared a lesson but when we left the car we realized we were needing to teach a different lesson. Not knowing exactly what we went into the lesson and started with a prayer. We sang a hymn and then everything just flowed. During the lesson a question came to my mind that I felt impressed to ask. So I followed the spirit and asked the man, "Est-ce que vous pouvez doubter qu'il y a une creator supreme?" Can you doubt that there is a supreme creator. Which afterwards for the first time in two years the man gave his testimony of how he knew the church was true.

I know that this church is true and that Heavenly Father really answers prayers. He has answered so many of mine. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen

Thank you for all your prayers
