8 months + 20.5 years (!!!)
This is me formally apologizing for not using my email time wisely and leaving myself nearly zero minutes to write all you people whom I love, but please just know that life is so good here and Sister Chandler and I are having the time of our lives but also having kind of heart attacks every couple of days because our zones need some serious WORK but miracles are coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'VE GOT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HIghlight of the week was my first lesson with our investigator Kai who stopped us mid- Plan of Salvation lesson, leaned back in her chair, and said, "I'm going to make a bet that you two make it to the Celestial Kingdom. You have the clearest eyes I've ever seen. You can look at somebody's eyes and know how good they really are and I see nothing but light and love in both of yours."
Yeah. The most tender moment in all of ever.
In other news I hit 8 months today, and passed my half birthday this week also so there were all kinds of celebrations :)))))) Except actually we didn't have time to even BREATHE this week between traveling between zones for conferences, three exchanges (brushed up on both my Russian and my Chinese), three different trainings we had to give, and speaking in sacrament. LOVED IT ALL THOUGH.
Okay here is my last thought before I run out into Victoria to share the good news: last week we had the miracle of all miracles and I entirely forgot to share it because mission brain, but we got a text from a random number. It was a sociology professor at UVIC, the main uni here, who had met sister missionaries on the bus absolute ages ago and remembered them and ASKED US TO COME TEACH HER CLASS all about our religion and why we live the way we do and it was TOO cool. So for all of you in the field, don't you ever doubt that you are moving things along in Heavenly Father's plan. After we taught we had about ten kids come up and grab Book of Mormon's, a visiting professor ask us to come do the same presentation in her class, AND a possible invite to present in front of a class of 200 instead of 25 with the head of the department :)))))) God is way too good to us. And none of that would have come into being if those two sisters hadn't made such an impression on the bus somewhere in Victoria, months ago.
Loving you all, here are a few pics of early morning beach runs in Sidney, totem poles downtown, my cute companion, and exchanges in T'sou-ke. Love that the First Nations named literally everything here, haha.
