Two for One!

Okay, so I just realized as I logged in today that I forgot to press send on my email from last week? Yikes...So I'll just uhhh send both! haha Whooops.

LAST WEEK: Lots of wonderful things! And crazy things too. Like earlier this week it was so beautiful and perfect weather and we were outside cleaning the inside of cars for a service project and you'll never believe what happened. I was getting all dizzy and not totally there and I was like what the? And Sister Smith tells me "I think you have heat stroke..." after I've thrown up all over the place and am lying down on the ground. My response? "BUT I'M FROM ARIZONA!" haha I guess that doesn't stop anything considering I haven't seen the sun since last July practically and I may or may not of only hydrated with a slurpee that day...yikes you live and you learn right? haha It was an experience I'd never like to relive that's for sure. 

Then, on Thursday, we had a recent convert named Stacy who was going to the temple to take out her endowments and we got permission to go with her. It was amazing. She's had quite the roller coaster of ups and downs throughout her life especially in the last few months so it was a miracle that she still made it to the temple that night. She had canceled the reservation once and then re-reserved it so the whole time I was pouring out my heart in prayer for her to be open to the Spirit. It went perfectly. The Spirit taught me too which is always a plus. Really hit me that the whole point of Heavenly Father creating the Earth and sending His children here is so that we can reach our full potential and have JOY! What a wonderful plan it is!

Guess what else happened? Snow. Yup, I think Calgary is bipolar.. The snow was so pretty too though! It was the wet stuff and it stuck to the trees and it was a winter wonderland in May! Holla. Love it so much.

THIS WEEK: It was transfer week and dun dun dun we both get to stay!! YAYAYAY! We were super nervous that Sister Smith was going to get transferred but she didn't, obviously. And we're psyched! We have great visions for this area and we are just getting totally pumped working hard and being united. This past week though was really hard for her. Sister Smith's mum passed away almost five years ago from cancer so Mother's Day is her least favorite holiday which is understandable. We just tried to keep ourselves busy working but sometimes that doesn't help. We even had our first two Sundays ago because I wanted her to be happy but she wasn't being happy....Let's just say serving together is helping me to learn some very important lessons haha 

Anyway, it was great to be able to talk to my Momma and Poppy yesterday! Everyone looks so different, it freaks me out a bit. Especially to see how ridiculously tall Fletcher is. But it was great to be able to talk with them for a while. But then right back to work!

"Work" though in this area is pretty slow. We spend most of our time searching for the elite who are ready to accept the restored gospel. Which means days are long, but totally worth it. Diligence is key, hey? Trusting in Heavenly Father when He promises blessings for hard work. YAAAAAY

I LOVE MY LIFE
