Adventures of a Canadian Missionary: Adios & Via Con Dios, V-Town

Week 15

Hello, Peoples!

So, this has been probably the absolute wildest week ever.

It started out as any normal week, met some really nice people, helped with a birthday party at a nursing home, read to an elderly lady named Marjorie, and tracted. A lot.

Thursday morning we got a phone call and we were told that Vermilion is going to be closing down for missionary work, just for a short while. Sad. Later we also found out that the Lloydminster sister missionaries will be covering Vermilion, so we get to leave our beloved investigators in their hands. But guess what that means.... Elder Leigh and I are being transferred out of Vermilion. So so so sad to go, and I will miss all these wonderful people. They have done so much to help us and teach us, and they have been so kind to us. The area will miss us, as much as we will miss the area.

We had a great last lesson with Peggy, although we had to move her baptism date to some unknown time in the future, she is going to be starting an addiction recovery program. Something I told her that I can say for a fact was the spirit was that the harder you try to move in the right direction, satan will push you back just as much. He will be with you every step of the way, but you have to be on the Lords side. You can't ride the fence with this, or you'll just end up with scars on your butt. Probably the greatest analogy ever.

So we have been cleaning and packing up our apartment like crazy, and saying goodbye to people all over the place, and showing the Lloyd sisters around, having them meet members and investigators and whatnot. It's been good for them. After we got the news, we freaked out for a little bit, but we prayed soon after, and a huge overwhelming peace came over me. This is what The Lord has planned for us, and there's a reason. I know wherever I go to next will be just as great. The work to do is here for you, right? I know we have to set aside our own desires for what God wants. We have to be humble enough to fully accept His will, and know that there are blessings in store for us as we listen and obey.

Not a whole lot else to say!

Much love!
