Hello I figured it was time to Update you on what has gone on the last little while anyways. Anyways on Saturday was the London Stake Temple Day. Oh how I was excited to see the temple and how I love being able go to the temple and having the temple so close, But on this day I had two very special Ladies that came with me to the Temple. Sister Clayton and Sister Peterson We left Earlier then the bus that Day as the Sisters Goal was to be home by 5pm. Well I was up at 5:35am and we where on our way out of London at 7am.
We arrived at the temple at 8:55am So Sister Clayton and Sister Peterson had recieved permission to call the Brampton Sisters on Tuesday where Sister Fischer and Sister Tani are currently serving. Finding out what they where doing saturday morning we realized absolutly nothing. So we had decided that we would all go out for breakfast Saturday morning. But anyways things changed and I dropped the sisters off at the temple at 9:00 and went and killed the extra 1.5 hours out for breakfast with Sister Fischer and Sister Tani.
How I enjoyed being able to See Sister Fischer and Sister Tani as Sister Fischer goes home on May 1st. So we arrived back to the temple back at 10:30 from breakfast and Sister Fischer waited to see who From London YSA was on the bus, there was not as many people as We thought would be. But there was a few. So she was able to see those few that where there. Anyways I went to the 12:00 Baptismal Session as that would be the only session I could do. Well The sessions was amazing. After coming out of doing the baptismal session I seen Sister Fischer and Sister Tani again, Wow twice in one day amazing. Anyways Sister Fischer told me that Sister Peterson and Sister Clayton where over at the Brampton Stake Centre. I had gone to my car to get sister Tani My info cause she wanted it.
Well doing that, I locked the door and shut it That is right I locked my keys in my Car. I have never done that before, Anyways we had to go and call one of the people that Sister Clayton knows from serving in Brampton. Anyways he ended up Calling CAA it was great to watch how CAA opened my car. But hey they did it and got my keys out of the car.
So then we had to go back to the Brampton Stake Centre to pick up Sister Clayton Stuff and we sat there for a little while And while we where there I also saw Sister Kulbeth and her Companion Sister Pedraza. Sister Pedraza was a member of the YSA branch before she moved to B.C. So it was great to be able to see her. So let's Just say we didn't make it to Back to London by 5:00 we actually made it back around 6:00 and when I got home I went to bed honestly at 7:30 I have never went to bed that early since I was a kid.
Overall it was a great day, I was able to see 4 of my favourite Sisters Plus I was able to take 2 of the best sisters I know down to the temple and back, It was an amazing day and I am glad that I was able to share it with 6 wonderful friends. I know that they have all blessed my life, For all there wisdom and Knowledge that they share. I love them and I am glad that they tell people that I am not just their driver but that I am their friend. I love them all so much.
Anyways Until Next time

Easter Weekend
Well, its time for another update. it's been what 5 days or so Since I last spoke to you on here. And I want you to know that things are great very busy and active in the missionary work. I have been spending alot of time as recent out with the 3rd ward sisters, Sister Clayton and Sister Peterson. My love grows for them each day and I find myself when I am away from them and out of doing missionary work I miss them tremendously. I hope you have had a remarkable easter sunday in which time you have had to reflect on the atonment of Jesus Christ. And the fact that this day he would be risen all those years ago. I have a tremendous love for the saviour of the world for the son of god who came down to this earth to atone for the sins of the world.
I have the remarkable opportunity to spend some great time with these lovely ladies next saturday as the stake is have a stake temple day and I am taking the sisters to the temple. The reason for that is because they have to be back for 5 o'clock and would not be back if they took the bus. So since I am already going I have graciously decided to take my two favourite people with me. I am excited to beable to spend time in the holy house of the lord. To know that all these people that are coming are worthy to enter thy house.
What else can I tell you, Today was kind of a hard day at church, as one of the girls that I have really gotten use to be around and stuff is leaving for Utah in the morning, she is off to the MTC but I know that she will be a remarkable missionary and that she will do amazing things in her 18 months in Edmonton. She has been a constant inspiration to me. I hope and wish Sister Ireland all the best in the upcoming 18 months and look forward to the updates.
Oh how I love you all, Happy easter.
and sending my love

~Missionary Work at it's Finest!!~
Hey Well I haven't updated my blog in a few days. Okay more like a week or so. Anyways I want to let you know I am truly grateful for such a wonderful gospel in my life. For the wonderful teachings in which it teaches me. In Which I have been taught Correct Principles and correct teachings.
Anyways I have been out with the sisters Most of the week, Not My YSA sisters cause YSA have no sisters but with the 3rd ward sisters. I even spent there preparation day with them. It was great. Anyways We went and saw this amazing family on Monday The Sanchez Family They are great! I think they could possibly be the golden Family. Then Tuesday We went to see This person Called Mandy who the Elders had Refered to The sisters, We went there on Tuesday and buzzed but the line was busy. So the sisters and I decided that we would go in and go up to the apartment in which they buzzed. Unfortunately, There was no person named Mandy there the girl that we ran into name was Natalie, She was willing to have the sisters come by gave her contact info and told them to call her this week coming hopefully it will work for her. So The Sisters remembered that they had apartment 204 Written in there planners So we decided that we would go there. When we went to apartment 204 There was no Person named Mandy there either, But we ran into this person named DADA she came to canada from bosnia, And Was more then willing for us to come in and teach her right then and there. So we Did we went in and taught her the first, The spirit was so strong I had never felt a spirit so strong in my entire life.
On Wednesday it was the sisters preparation Day! I had fun with them! They enjoyed my company and Me I truly Enjoyed there company. Thursday was a truly interesting day. And I mean interesting. We First went to see this Lady named Darlene, She was in there Area Book under the formers so we went to see her. As we had an appointment to see her, It was a good appointment she had lots of Questions. Then we went to see this Lady named Nancy she was not as welcoming to me being there with the sisters. I was not allowed to say anything and we where basically told we are not christian because we do not believe that the trinity is all one god jesus and the holy ghost that they are not one that they are each individual people. It is something so Frustrating They are One in Purpose but each individual. Anyways she tried to convert us. That was Quite the interesting Experience and said that we where like going to go to Hell. Anyways Then we went to see this cool man that the sisters had met Jeffery James Burton. Anyways Jeff wasn't there, But we ran into this other Jeff! This jeff had run into the jeff we where wanting to see and wanted to hear about the Mormon Church from The mouth themselves.
When Jeff Came home He wasn't really interested in learning just wanting to talk about weird things but it was all good. He left and we Sat and Talked to Jeff for a long time about prophets, and about the trinity but as Sister Clayton said if god jesus and the holy ghost are all the same person then why in the garden of Gethsemane did jesus pray to heavenly father to say thy will is going to be done and that he is going receive all the glory! God I mean! Anyways enough of that it just angers me. Then after about an hour of debating and stuff we had to leave and go to see this sweet lady! her name is barbara Harris she is a less active member She had been having a rough time we talked for a little bit and shared a scripture and then we left. It was an interesting day but helped my testimony of the gospel grow it helped me know that the church is the true church of Jesus Christ.
Anyways I am off. I hope all is well for you until next time.
