Why I love These ladies....



I have a very special fond place in my heart for Sister Missionaries.Past or Present they have brought out some part of good quality in me. They have made me laugh when i need to laugh, and they have just listened when I have needed that ear. In some ways I have felt like I have essentially become one. And Currently because there is 3Sisters here in London. Today I was able to spend most of there Preparation day with them. That is right! P-Day oh how much fun P-day is. Well The Sisters Sister clayton Sister Terry and Sister Pooley are short Kilometres this month and So I offered up my services to take them to the places that they needed to go today (ie library, Shopping, Out for lunch etc.) it was fun!I felt like I was them but essentially just out for a good time. I love being able to participate in helping the sisters in whatever way I can and I could be making 2 trips to girls camp next week. One to drop off the sisters and one too go and pick them up again. As girls camp is very far away and it would use almost all their kilometres for the month just there and back. I don't mind I love them enough to do so. I know that each of the sisters Past present and the one's that will continue into the future have all blessed my life and will continue to do so. I hope and pray for safety everyday whether they are in London in the Canada Toronto West Mission or Serving in Missions around the world. I know that they are being truly blessed for the dedication. One month And Sister Clayton goes home I can't believe how quick her time has gone by in London.And I know that I will miss her but I know she will be happy to get back to her family and back to school.
Until Next time I love you and wish you all the best.

blogging is hard to keep up with!!!!!!!

Hey Fellow Bloggers,
I have not been able to write on my blog for a while, because I have been extremely busy working, Playing baseball, working, church stuff, going out with the missionaries and many other things. It has taken up much of my free time. I know that many wonder how I am doing and when they haven't heard from me in a while. What is new in everyone's lives, My life seems to get increasingly busier and busier every day. So tomorrow is going to be a good but busy day! I am taking the sisters to the library in the morning then to H&M for some shopping I would imagine then who knows from there where to. They are kind of short on Kilometres this week and almost to the end of the month, They are kind of short cause last week I was having a problem with my car and it needed to be fixed, and so I would take the bus up and they would bring me home which made the short on Kilometres.
I have really done a lot of growing spiritually, I find that turning to the lord is the best solution for alot of problems. I want you to all know that I am excited I am getting to spend some of the time with the Sisters. I love spending time with them and especially on preparation day! I am picking them up at 10 and taking them to the library and then taking them to H&M I am totally excited to beable to do those things with them. I haven't seem them today and am kind of feeling like i miss them dearly, anyways I hope all is well with you and until next time.

A Missionary Moment... and going out with the missionaries

On Friday evening I had the opportunity to have a missionary moment at work. Two of the girls where talking about comunion and different things to do with the Catholic church. And of course I have never gone to a catholic church, I have attended a lot of different churches during my day, and a lot with my friends but never a catholic on so Of course I started asking them questions about like Catholic's. And one of the girls that I work with was like why Don't you come to a catholic mass with me sometime and I was like Okay I will go to church with you if you come to church with me. And she agreed, This lady has never been willing to hear anything she has attended many of the historical sites in Missouri in August when She goes to see her daughter, and grandchildren for the Month of August. So getting her to agree to come to church with me was a huge accomplishment. Maybe the Lord is softening her heart.
On another Note, I was out with the Sister Missionaries Today! It was great 4 of us in there little car, Oh how I enjoy spending time with them we where suppose to be going to see 3 people all one right after then other, But none of the appointments fell through, So the Sisters and I did some drop by's and contacting. Oh how I love them, they think it is great for there to be 4 of us. Because they can have two sets of people go out and go different ways and contact and yeah.
So needless to say the day was great. I hope all is well with you, that you are just enjoying life. and you are grateful each day like I am for the many wonderful blessings heavenly father gives us, and the people that he puts into our lives for the reasons that he does.
Anyways I must go. But I just wanted to update, continue to be good examples.
I Love you all and until next time

Transfers... Update and plenty more....

Well I haven't updated my blog in a month and figured this was the best time as any to do so. Oh how life seems to have gotten busy and I seem to have forgotten about all you my blogger friends who like to keep informed on my life. Well a lot has gone on over the past month! I am back at play Slow Pitch again this year. my team has a record of 7-5 so far this year a better record then a year ago. Umm I have been attending institute, it's been a lot of fun as we are learning about hymns of the church. I have been going out with the sisters alot and am sad to see Sister Peterson go. She has been transfered to St David's and Sister Clayton will stay and Die in London as a missionary with Sister Terry. And They will also have a 3rd companion as in a new sister this will only be her 2nd transfer and 2 area. Her name is Sister Poolie. Work has been keeping me pretty busy. I have been working crazy hours weird shifts, and been getting some extra hours which is nice on my part as I haven't had many shifts.
I have been working 3 jobs, But am currently happy to say that my dad has recently gotten a new job and my mom and brother are currently doing 2 paper routes in brantford. Oh How i love the lord and the blessings he is giving to my family through my dilligent effort to keep the commandments. I love the missionaries and am sad that Sister Peterson is leaving but excited to see what the next 6 weeks will bring.
I hope that all of you are doing well, I hope that you are having blessings poured upon you and your spouses and upon everything else in life. Know that I love you and I miss each and everyone of you and think of you often and feel blessed to know you! The lord puts people in our lives for certain reasons, and I know that there is always a reason that you where put in my life and I am thankful for that.

Until you hear from me again. Be safe and know that I love you where ever you are.
Until next time!
Sending my love
Crystal
