Week 81- The Last Email

March 30, 2021 Well this is my final email! I know I havent written one in a long time. It has been such a wild journey but one that I would never trade for anything! It hasn't been the easiest but it has been super rewarding. I will be talking more about my experiences in church on April 11th! I have been so grateful to have been able to serve the people of Canada and Thailand on my misison! My testimony is simple. I know Christ lives and I know he loves. And we can live and love as he did. Have a great week!! Sister Clement

Week 78- Keeping Busy

March 8, 2021 Wow this week was crazy!! We went on some beautiful walks, did some volunteering at the salvation army and had a ton of lessons! Our hike last week led to some publicity! Now if you search up stoney Hill Regional Park, Sister lasso will be the cover photo! We have no idea how that happened but it's pretty funny lol. We were shook when we saw it.
We also got to have one of the leaders of our church come and speak to us. How was so cool and I learned a lot. I learned that it's important to find joy in the journey and that love is the most important thing. If we don't love others how can we expect to help them, or serve them, or truly help them feel the love of God?! I hope you all have a good week!! (I got my flight plans this past week too which was scary. It has come so fast!!)

Week 77 - Faith and Fog

March 2, 2021 Written by her companion, Sister Lasso A few days ago we decided to go hiking. As we got closer to the hike we saw thick fog covering the road. We still decided to walk along the trail after praying to be able to have some sunshine. It turned out that the fog was so thick that we couldn't see "the view" at the summit. We finished the hike and decided to wait in the car, hoping that the sun would come out. Some time later, we saw the sky was clearing up. We ran to the top of the hike again to see the sun shining and the clouds drifting away. We got what we prayed for, just long enough for us to enjoy the view and see the clouds come back as we headed back to the car.
Life is like that. Sometimes we can't really see what is ahead of us, we feel lost, there's fog everywhere. But then we have the chance to turn to our Father in heaven and ask for guidance and help. We need to keep walking, acting, trusting that He will lead us to where we need to go, having faith that one day the fog will depart and we'll be able to see blue skies. From my personal experience, blue skies are much more beautiful after seeing the clouds. Faith and works can move mountains... and fog.
