week of miracles!!!!!

seriously!!! i love it!!! so on Christmas Eve we got a call from a member in Brandon ( who both sis broderick and i know) saying there is a lady who lives in winnipeg who is a friend with her daughter. this lady lost her daughter and then a year later lost her husband and it would be nice if she had company around the holiday season. so we put together some Christmas goodies and took them to her. since then we have meet with her (terri is her name) and we have been able to teach her a lot about the gospel. terri is hard of hearing but its easy to communicate with her b.c she reads lips really well. so this sunday was her first time to church. b/c she isnt a young single adult she went to a family ward. and in this ward they have 2 or 3 deaf people and at least 5 sign students. so the whole time she was in sacrament meeting they were interpreting and she got to see. then a deaf member teaches a sign gospel principal class!!!!! ahhhhh!!!! the other day she was telling us how on Christmas Eve she was just sitting around kinda sad thinking about how all her family is away and how she has 4 brothers but no sisters and how she wishes she had sisters. then we knocked on her door. and she said...."then i got 3 sisters" :) Heavenly Father is very aware of ALL of His children. i know He has been preparing terri for this step in her life!!!! im am sooo happy and grateful to be apart of her life!!!
its cold yeah....nothing new haha...not too bad though. its only been minus 16 or so. (with windchill) i have definitely gotten used to it...kinda....some days. ive learned that if im hungry then im more cold. but being in ysa im always hungry!! we never have supper appt hah. thats ok. we're learning different ways to make a quasidilla!! haha
i love you all and thank you for all you do for me!!! stay warm!!
love

happy new year!!!!

wow!!!! 2011!!!!! thats crazy!!! for new years we went to the church and played some fun games. then we were in bed by 1030! haha i remember thinking last year that its going to stink having to go to bed so early for new years but....i love it!!!! sleep time is precious time out here!! :) that day we were all out of Kilometers so we had to walk everywhere. it just happen to be the day that is was -35C outside. thats -31F. so we walked up and down Pembina which is the main st right outside our apt. we found 6 potentials. since we only teach young females who arnt married we had to turn them over to the elders and from those 6 there are now 2 investigating and one of them has 2 friends now learning. i love this work!!!! so 4 people are now learning about the gospel of Jesus Christ b/c we decided to work when we could have chickened out and just stayed in. i know that the Lord kept us warm so we could find such great people!!! its a beautiful thing to see the Lords hand in everything we do!!
the new sister, sister smith is amazing!!!! i feel like shes been out forever so we dont have to train her. haha its way fun being in a tri!!!
this Saturday we get to meet with Elder Smith from the 70. its a special missionary meeting. im excited for that.
i love you all. i know this gospel is true and it is the gospel of Jesus Christ. it has been restored to its fullness by a loving God through a living prophet!!
love,
