Week 15

So, I have the two companions now!  One is Sister Galovich and the other is Sister Fellows.  One is from Utah and the other one from Idaho.  I can't remember which right now.  It was way hard saying goodbye to Sister Tam, but it's working out for the best.  I have already learned so much from my new companions and we are working a million times harder.  I didn't think it was possible to work this hard.  Our goals are crazy, but with our triple companionship, we are rocking it!  We are all so different, but we work really, really well together.  We are helping to change lives and we are more than excited.

Our week was super busy and productive.  Last Sunday, we went to a less active member's family birthday party.  He invited Sister Tam and I and another friend.  I ended up talking to that one friend and now he wants to meet with the missionaries at least every week.  The less active member is also turning his life around and preparing for a mission.  That's so exciting and awesome.  Monday, we had a BBQ at a less active member's house with one of our investigators.  Tuesday was Canada Day.  We went down town with some members wearing regular clothes because we were doing service after.  That was way fun and we saw many missionaries there as well, which was fun, too.  Wednesday was really hard with transfers and Sister Tam leaving, but we got through it!  Thursday, we had a lesson with Akan and he now has a baptismal date for August 2nd.  I had a prompting from the Holy Ghost to commit him to August 2nd and he accepted.  I LOVE PROMPTINGS.  We also had a lesson with Mavis and she's progressing toward baptism.  We plan on committing her to a baptismal date this week along with her daughter.  We also met up with another investigator and she took us out for ice cream.  Friday was the 4th!  Happy Fourth!  We did service and planned our transfer goals most of the day.  It was hard not thinking about home.  Hopefully the fourth wasn't that great since I was gone.  Just kidding!  That night, we had supper with members and ended up teaching her son that I've never met.  Our lesson was about The First Vision.  He gave us his phone number afterwards and we plan to teach him again.  Saturday, we had a member baptism and we taught the first lesson.  And, we had another investigator show up to that!  She liked it!  After the baptism, we taught her.  She has kept us away from her kids for a while now, but she invited us today to go with her and her kids to Fort Edmonton!  This is a huge deal.  That means she's serious.  Sunday was crazy as usual with church meetings.  Our investigator and her less active husband had their baby blessed by his dad.  The baby is a year old.  That was cool that they were at church.  After church, we taught them and there is crazy progress going on with them.  We had a potluck for break the fast and lots of non members went.  That was so fun.  We got some appointments!  We are so excited.

I hope everyone had a good 4th of July.  I love and miss you.  Sorry for not being able to respond very quickly to many of your messages.  I have a bunch in my inbox still.  The time flies each week on the computer and we have to sign up for using them at the library.  When our time expires, the computer turns off.  That means someone else has their time/turn.

Have a good week.

Love,
Sister Kiley Rexinger
