Life is going pretty great here in Canada! Things are
finally getting warm except those awkward moments when the weather goes "I
am going to deep freeze you in your sleep." But we are learning to
survive. Many friends and families have asked me to share some of the miracles
that have happened this week, and this being the last week of a heavy spending
month, many of them have to do with food.
But before I get to that. When my companion and I realized
that Sister Ford's camera had a smudge on it, therefore making everyone look as
if they had a halo. We jumped on the opportunity. And then had a Selfie moment.

First off. On Sunday my companion and I were running late
after having a pretty amazing discussion of the gospel and divine potential and
while running out the door forgot the emergency breakfast snack pack that we
keep just for moments like this. We got to church and just as we were taking
the sacrament we realized just how hungry we were. I don't believe I have ever
had such a hankering for bread and water on a non-fast Sunday than at that
moment. As we went through all our meetings, teaching in the Gospel Principles
class and the Primary our stomachs began to make the most untimely whale mating
noises known to man. And then after these three hours of church we then had to
attend two meetings to add another three hours to our schedule. We were dying
and had no way or means to obtain food. Nevertheless we said a prayer. And it
was answered.
A pregnant lady who was waiting for our meeting got suddenly
sick of the food that she had packed and gave it to us sisters. And then just
following that a member whom we had been to dinner with the night before gave
us two granola bars saying that she was sorry that there was no desert last
night. The circumstances may have been silly but I can sure testify that the
Lord protects his missionaries.
As we were debating where to spend our feeble amount of
remaining funds and finding that we may be living off of rice for the week, a
member called saying that there was a huge sale on fruit and that she had
bought us a whole bunch. And then members continued to invite us for dinner
appointments nearly every night for that week.
The miracles this week don't seem to be as related to the
missionary work but it has nonetheless strengthened my testimony of the
importance of the work that I am privileged to be taking a part in. The Lord
helps his servants as they go about doing his work. I am so grateful for the
wonderful opportunities that I have been able to witness here as I serve the
Lord in Lemoyne
