你好, Pagbati, Hello Everybody!!
It's been another great week up here in the Truth North and Fort Saint John! I saw some miracles and had some fun of course! Life has been pretty great recently with the weather warming up for the most part!
Tuesday we did our typical bible study out on the reservation which was a lot of fun! There was a new face there and we sat around all of the taxidermied animals which was a lot of fun! It was on Luke 11:33-36 talking about light and I connected it to Matthew 5:14-16 and how Christ expects us to be different and stand out and be like him! It was a super cool connection!
Wednesday we had a service with our members the Pattaguans and we helped them move from their house to a new house in Calgary! We helped them load up the truck and throw out garbage! It took most of the day and we showed up to District Council in service clothes since we had no time to change then we went back and helped them out some more! It was a lot of fun and I got to drive a manual car which was super cool since I haven't done that since I was home! Also played ball later that night which was fun! Just one casualty to another player's ankle but he is doing better now and has been playing recently. I didn't do it.... maybe?? Just kidding we got it on footage and it was teammate who came over to help me defend him.
Thursday was a chill day just setting up some lessons and having dinner with the Germans!
Friday we decided to invite every formally taught person in our teaching pool to Easter Sunday which took like 2 hours but was super good! We also watched an apartment burn in town which was crazy! We got there like 5 minutes before the fire department which was kinda crazy and we were slow but that's how it be up here. There was also like 3 police cars around and they brought one of the huge fire trucks since the flames broke through the roof which was pretty crazy then a soldier pulled up cause apparently someone in the apartment had a gun so him and the police officers suited up and grabbed rifles and cleared people out which was crazy! It was a good time and we were able to talk to people standing around which was good and help comfort some of them!
Saturday we made a visit out to Hudson's Hope which is a town about an hour away from Fort Saint John! It is a beautiful drive along the Peace River which is huge! It's like 2,000 meters wide in some areas which is insane but it is beautiful! We visited one of our members named Harvey there and we talked to him and gave him some company out there! Also explored the nearby reservoir and got some flicks!
Sunday we had a miracle and after church we had a Ukranian pull up and want to learn more which was awesome! We are excited to teach him more! His name is Dmytro which is cool! We also delivered the sacrament to some people and Easter Church was good as always!!
Spiritual Thought:
He Lives
Think about that! Christ still lives and through him we can live again as well!
Love yall so much
