3...2...1...Resto!

Hey guys,

Sorry for the lack of quality emails/lack of emails altogether. It's been a rough couple of weeks. I feel like I'm relearning how the Atonement works, but I know that it's good for me.

The other good news is, Heavenly Father blessed us with five more of His children to teach! It was miraculous. One of them owns New York Fries in St. John's so heart eyes @ that. One has a family she said we could teach this week (Denise), two are a couple who were referrals from some other investigators and one was a former who is allowing us to teach her again. Dreamy, right?

Cool story about Denise. We were delivering a Family History Packet that she ordered at one of our booths at a craft fair last month. We were talking about FamilySearch with her when she asked what makes our church different than other Protestant faiths. Sister O and I looked at each other and then it was 3...2...1...Resto! She and her husband are of different faiths and are looking for something to unify their family. They have two kids. I've never taught a whole family before, but she said we can teach hers this week!

We also officially have permission to hold a two hour church meeting in Gander at the Smith's home once a month. Rose was really happy about that. She's inching closer towards baptism, she is such a wonderful woman. Erica and James are back and after sorting out some house struggles, we are planning to teach them this week. It has been too long!

I took Sister Little O and the Elders to the North Atlantic Aviation Museum today. It was my fourth time there so the front desk lady, Sandra, let me in for free. She's great.

I really do love this Church. I love it because it is the Savior's, and all good things come from Him!

P.S. We had lots of freezing rain this week. Everything was covered by a decently thick layer of ice. The house, the car, my eyeballs. Everything.

Don't Forget to Pray

Hi guys,

This week was, well to be honest, long. It was "Surge week" so we had a bunch of challenges for each day (like extending the baptismal invite or teaching Restoration lessons) all topped off with a minimum of 30 hours of proselyting. We're pooped but happy. 

Sister O and I were trying to think of people we could teach the Restoration to and we had set a goal to teach 10. It was 8:15 so time was running out and we had only taught 9. We got in the car and prayed and both felt we should go see Henriette (member)'s niece, Lisa, that she lives with. It was the least likely time for her to be available but we went and she let us teach her! We have been trying to teach her forever!! Miracle!

We found a total of 6 new investigators this week, putting us at a total of 12. That is the most either Sister O or I have ever taught at once on our missions!

Erica and James come back from the Bahamas this week, so I'm reaaaallly happy about that.

So transfer news. Sister O is leaving the Rock and going to Truro with Sister Kilmer and Sister Osborn is coming to Gander! I was her STL at the beginning of her mission and I am really excited to be her companion, she is sooo much fun.

Love you!

Jenny gave us face masks.
