Holy Smokes!

This is unreal. I'm in Lethbridge! Seems like a totally different mission from Calgary. A lot more small town-ish with loads more members it feels. My new companion is Sister Huntley, she's 19 and from San Diego area. This is her first area, the Legacy Ward, and she just finished her 12week training program. but it kinda feels like I'm training all over again.. I hear that she and her trainer didn't get along very well and by looking at the progress (or lack there of) in the area, I'd believe it. BUT we get along like peanut butter and jelly so we are going to make this place explode!! It's going to be great!

I'm sad to have left Arbour Lake.  It was really beginning to feel like home...that's probably why Heavenly Father sent me away! Hahaha!  I miss Sister Waller, and the Jakins, and Palmers and everybody there, but I have met lots of the members here in Legacy and they are all super nice. We're just going to have to work hard to help them be more inspired to do missionary work! We are going to do great things in this area, I can feel it.

We don't have any investigators at all so we are super duper focusing on finding the people who the Lord has prepared for us to teach. Which means we are knocking, knocking, knocking! Sister Huntley never tracted with her old companion and I quickly let her know that was going to change.  Haha!  She now loves it, as do I so it's perfect!

All the missionaries in the zone are wonderful, too. We have high ambitions for the area, but when our goals are made with faith I know that we will be able to accomplish them.

Let's see, what else is new? I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY! Wait, that's not new at all...oh well! My life is wonderful and I love knowing that I have a purpose in life. It's nice to feel loved and at home where ever I go because Heavenly Father is right there with me. Yeah, I love it. I love my Savior and the joy he brings to my life. Gaaaah! LOVE EVERYWHERE!

Oh yes, Happy Thanksgiving to all you American folk! I hope you'll take some time to write down a few things every night that you're thankful for. I do that and it really helps me to count my blessings. I'm grateful for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, the atonement, this gospel. MY FAMILY! and of course all of my fantastic friends and the support I get from both. I'm grateful to be here in Canada, and to be serving my Lord. It is a great time to be living!

Joy, Joy!

Happy Remembrance Day yesterday! That's what they call Veteran's Day here in Canada. The library was closed because of the holiday so here we are today! Yesterday though we were able to go to one of the services in a big huge auditorium with lots of veterans in uniform and a wreath laying ceremony and all that good stuff. It was a cool experience to be able to have a time to remember all of the people who served their country. A very touching time for sure.

So on Thursday Sister Waller got her training call from the assistants yay! So she'll be training next transfer a brand new missionary, fun hey?! It'll be good. I was so excited for her and then I realized that it meant I'd most likely be getting transferred next week. Sad day. I've fallen in love with my ward and it's going to be really hard to leave them. We have been doing lots of great work here together and I've gotten quite attached. It'll be a teary day when I have to leave this glorious place. But it's alright! Heavenly Father has a different plan for me and that's totally fine. Send it my way! I'm excited for whatever happens.

Okay can we take a moment of silence to remember what else happened yesterday? I'M AN AUNT AGAIN! haha Baby Luna was born. I can't believe it. I pretty much missed the whole pregnancy so it's weird that Anna has another baby now..and that she'll be a whole year old once I get to give her a big squeeze. Which brings me to my next statement. I've been on a mission for six months can I get a WHAT WHAT. How in the world did that happen. I want to stay here forever!!!!

There is always so much to tell that I can't narrow it down and everything gets stuck in the end of the funnel and then nothing comes out. I'm sorry.

Spiritual overload is always happening in my head. I love it. I love that I'm able to be doing something that is most important in this life. Check out Doctrine and Covenants 15:6. There are few things in this worldly world that are of true worth to us, and declaring the gospel is one of them!  Never have I ever been so happy in my entire life.

And to make things even better Sister Waller and I are helping someone put up their Christmas tree in a few hours!!! OH WHAT JOY it is that Canadian Thanksgiving was in October..Straight to Christmas whoop whoop!

xoxox,

Love, Sister Davis
