Hey everyone!
Boy, have I got news. PRESIDENT called last night to let us
know that he was "splittin up the team!" Sister Tuia and I will
both be training. I'm whitewashing Kitchener YSA ward and she's staying here in
Brampton. I'm pretty bummed to be leaving the hub but feel real lucky to have
been here for almost 6 months. Kitchener will be a fun area...so i hear. YSA
should be interesting :) Hopefully i get the hang of things quickly.
Cool news also is that Oakville sisters and 3
baptisms this week and when I was there we taught them too! It's cool to see
that they continued to work with them and hammer things out. One is a
father of a part member family and the others are 2 sons of a less active
member.
zone conference this week was good. We learned about
managing stress (haha but good), about filling the gaps that cause stress and
the savior to fill them, helping us to grow and become better disciples of
Christ. We also practiced teaching members to get referrals. All of you please
do missionary work. Working with members is a pain sometimes! They're worse at
keeping commitments than investigators are! haha

We had some great experiences this week. We
gained the same amount of new gators this week as we have the rest of this
transfer! We worked hard and hit the standards of excellence set by Pres.
Scott. One of the new gators' name is Linette- an old lady from guyanna. We set
her for baptism Oct7. We brought a member and her daughter to the lesson with
us. While we were there, Linette's daughter ran through the living room, she
was getting ready for work and the member we had with us said, "hey
you!" and they both jumped up and started hugging each other! Well,
apparently the work together and have a great relationship! It's really cool to
see the Lord's hand in the work. Now this member can introduce the gospel to
Linette's daughter at work and be able to really be a great fellowshipper to
the family! Super cool, eh?!
The elders met Anita in the elevator at the
hospital and referred her to us. She has 3 small kids, her husband just up and
left them so they're really struggling. Amongst that, her youngest child has
seizures every 10 days or so making him stay in the hospital a lot. She is from
India and is losing all belief but found out that someone could give her son a
blessing so we invited her to church and she came with her kids yesterday! THey
loved primary and her son was able to get a blessing. She met some great
members that are excited to help her out. I'm sad I don't get to continue to
help her too but know she's in good hands and hope she accepts the gospel!
We met one more cool guy from Jamaica that was
really excited to read the BOM. Bummed that i can't teach him again cuz he's so
open! but again- in good hands!
Our recent converts are doing well, thanks for
asking :) Our meeting with the sikh lady was interesting. .. She's not
interested. But it was a fine experience. We introduced the 15 step stop
smoking program to the trio last night- today is the day the start it.
Hopefully they're game! We got the supplies for them and they seemed really
excited about it last night. Now it's all about follow up!
Have a great wedding weekend! Wish i could be
there :)
Have a great week everyone! I'll need your
prayers so pleasssse dont hesitate to belt one out for me :) thanks!
Love Sister Messer
