My week was good.

We went to I-falls minnesota for exchanges :) that was fun. And we brought back american oreos and cheezits :)

Conference was SO GOOD. I can't wait until the ensign comes out and I can study all the talks again.

Transfers are coming up and they are splitting our areas. We won't get our transfer call until Saturday so I'm not sure which area I will stay in, if any, or if i will stay with Sister Wray or what. I'm trying not to make any guesses or any hopes so I don't get let down haha. I'm just gonna go with the flow. Come what may, and love it :) So we will see what happens i guess.

The next general conference will be my last in the mission and by that time i will have 4 months left. totes cray. And Canadian Thanksgiving is next monday so then after that it's already christmas season :) haha So I'm sure the time will fly :) Christmas time always does.

At this point I'm just trying to figure out how I can have more courage to be a better missionary so that I will be happier and enjoy my last 10 months and not just endure. So that's about it :) I love you.




(I asked Maddy if she was ready for the cold weather around the corner)

I think I forgot how cold it actually gets and what it feels like. I'm worried I might need a bigger jacket haha the mission home has some Canada Goose ones they got for free but they only have smalls which is a little too small. But I might be able to make it work since the one I have is small anyway haha but other than that, I think I'm all set. It's already cooling down which is nice :) It might snow by halloween :)

awkward bathroom selfie cause no where in my apartment has good lighting haha but GENERAL CONFERENCE DAYYYY! :) and making it a tradition with Cadbury mini eggs for a conference treat since for some reason Cadbury mini eggs are year round in Canada haha #whynot #ldsconf

Our drive to I-falls was totes gorge :)

Dear Family and Friends,

Well I know it has been like forever since I have sent out a message. But all is well here. I was transferred back to Winnipeg and have been here for 6 weeks now as a Sister Training leader. So we are over half of the sisters in the mission and we go on exchanges with 5 companionships. So exchanges every week, sometimes twice a week! Life has been crazy. SO much to do, so many people to see. Which is good :) I am liking being an STL more than I thought I would so that is good haha. My companion of the last 6 weeks is being transferred this week so I will be getting a new companion. SO that will be 6 transfers with 6 companions. At least I am getting to know a lot of the sisters. Maybe ill be companions with everyone in the mission by the time i'm done! haha We are teaching some great people. We have an investigator named Atiel. She is a single mom of a two year old boy named Michael and they are literally the cutest. She will be getting baptized in just a few weeks so that is exciting! Well I love you all and hope you are doing well. Have a great week!

my first time eating from a food truck! haha Fridays are food truck days down broadway downtown and there are like a million options and it was so fun :)

I went on exchanges with Sister Wray in Brandon. It was fun. She will be my new companion this week

Au Revior Winnipeg!

Maddy just found out she is getting transferred. I'm not sure where she is going. No long email this week. I guess we'll read about it in her letter.

saw this super neat old tank and had to stop for a pic :)

we got matching 3$ sunglasses :) haha

Sister Davis :) I'm gonna miss her like crazy

Sister Miller, I love her!

Jumpin on the trampoline at the Heieie's. We were over there for service and we were waiting for Bro. Ryan Heieie to help us with something. So we figured we may as well have a little fun :)

Kate Gross and her cute kids and one of those girls is a Fisk child that practically lives there since the Gross family and Fisk family are besties

These are the Gross kids, Navy and some of his siblings.

This is Grandma Gross. This is my last picture with this sweet woman. I love her with all my heart and if I came out on a mission just to meet her, it was worth it. I'm gonna miss her a lot.

This Navy Gross and a few of his siblings and friends. He is literally the cutest little boy I have ever met. He is so gentle and sweet and I love him. He always tells us this story about how one time he heard the Holy Ghost warn him that he and his brother shouldn't do something so he didn't do it haha it is so cute. His family is amazing. I love them all. Every time I see Navy he runs up to me and give me the biggest hug.  :)
