Moncton

       Missionary work is nothing short of a miracle. Sister Coleman and I have been working hard to find people to teach, and to strengthen the Moncton ward. I am sometimes surprised at how involved Heavenly Father is in the details of our lives. On Sunday evening we were out knocking doors and it was time to go back for supper. We hadn't seen much success and we weren't exactly sure why we had felt inspired to knock that street. The very last house we went to was a woman named Tracy. As we talked with her we find out she's never heard of our church before but just before we knocked on the door she was having a conversation with her husband about how she wants to find a church to take their daughter to. She said they've been thinking of a few options but nothing has felt right. What an amazing experience to see how we were exactly where God wanted us to be at just the exact moment Tracy would be open to receiving missionaries into her home. Whether or not Tracy and her family accept the gospel it was amazing to see how much God loves and cares about her, and we became an answer to her prayers. 

I think it is easy as a missionary to get wrapped up in this and that and forget what exactly our purpose is, and who it is that we are working for. As I have quoted before Jeffrey R Holland says.. "Ours is not a feeble message, it is not a fleeting task, it is not hapless, it is not hopeless, it is not to be consigned to the ash-heap of history. It is the work of the Almighty God and it is to change the world." I am so happy I get to share the message of the Restoration with those here in Moncton. It is sad to see summer coming to an end but I look forward to fall weather and the approaching holidays. I am so lucky and blessed to be serving as a missionary!
