(Sister Cummings)
It happened. It snowed. Sister Rawlings and I were getting ready to leave to an appointment and were wondering what temperature it was, it was then that we looked out the window... DUH duh DuUuUuhH!!!! There they were little white floaty things dropping from the sky. Resigned to our fate we bundled up. Only to find one hour later as we came out of our lesson to not a cloud in the sky and the sun shining. Which two hours later became a hale storm, Then one hour later a rain storm. Then two hours later bright and sunny and then finally just deciding to be snow one hour afterwards.

It was really quite disorienting. It felt by the end of the
day as if we had just kind of witnessed three different days at interspersed
moments during the twenty-four hours.
So besides the quite bipolar weather we are experiencing
Canada is pretty fantastic. As always we have seen a lot of miracles this week.
I would like to take the time to share some absolutely amazing once in a
lifetime news.
I AM GOING TO BE A TEMPLE MISSIONARY!
Well you know not actually working in the temple but with
the Montreal Temple opening its doors for the open house in two weeks I and all
the other sisters in my mission have the opportunity to help with the temple! I
will be introducing an introductory video before visitors are led to the temple
doors as well as welcoming them afterwards to share their experiences.
I am so excited for this! But mostly I am excited for the
miracles and blessings it will bring. For those who may not know an LDS Temple
is a beautiful building that we build, wherein we may learn more of the truths
of this world as well as receive personal revelation to help us through life.
Quite literally it is the House of God where we may receive further ordinances
that will eventually allow us to live with our Heavenly Father once more.
However unlike our church buildings not everyone is
permitted to attend the temple. Just as in times of old only those who have
specifically kept the commandments of God and have been baptized by someone
holding the proper authority may enter in. Many members even are not found
worthy to enter. However all of this is only after the Temple is to be
dedicated.
About 18 months ago the Montreal temple was closed for
renovations. Apparently the roof had not been designed to hold the weight of
snow here in Canada for too long. Starting November 2nd the doors are going to
be opened to the public and for the first time in many peoples lives they will
have the opportunity to walk through its holy walls. It will then be dedicated
the 22nd of November.
I am so excited for this moment. Never would I have ever
thought I would have the chance to be a sister missionary here at this time.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am so excited for the blessings
that will come!
I love you all! Have a wonderful week!

This was us heart attacking like bosses. Due to the chest
pains we had had a lot of time on our hands and made about 200 little origami
hearts.
