Hey everyone!
It's been 15 months which is so hype.
This would've been a very happy email of not for the new restrictions Alberta put last night. We can no longer meet with any missionaries in person for any indoor activity. So no games, or hanging out or anything. On top of the already existing rules of no member visits, entering homes or in person stuff. So life's about to get tough.
But yea otherwise this week was good!
Someone wilkinson and I started teaching in Tahiti got baptized Saturday and it was awesome. I was able to call in and talk with her a bit. She had initially rejected us, but felt bad, so the next time she saw us on the street she had us come back. We gave her the book of mormon, and had so many spiritual lessons, and prayed w her for the first time. its amazing to see her be baptized almost a year later! Such a strong testimony in christ and being able to change through him!
Taylor and Justin also cancelled their wedding and baptism due to covid and when they told us over text we were super sad. But I full sent and suggested they get married lowkey just so she could be baptized and received those blessings. They said they'd discuss and are now getting married next week. Theyll have a proper reception in the spring!!! So happy for them and boldness. Being passive isn't for me.
We also had deer meat for dinner one night. Half of mine was still kind fo raw tbh. Weaver didnt cook it too well but it was poorly cut. We started eating w our hands and blood was dripping down my hand. Not the best meal I've ever had but it was fun eating deer!
Other than saving money by eating member given deer, I made some money moves this week. I sold a chess set another missionary had left behind for 65 and went to the bottle depot and made 10. That and members clutching it and just giving us money. Lastly, we made our own boardgame (copied a game that's expensive and no longer made, but made it book of mormon version). We designed it all and would've dropped like 40 each at a print shop, but they gave it to all 3 for free! So hype and now we have a beautiful super fun book of mormon game! Free!
Also it was my aunt's birthday yesterday and she gets a shoutout cause she actually emails me! Happy birthday Auntie Di!
Lastly, this week president Nelson gave a little message of hope which was so good. Immediately brought the spirit into my week and changed everything honestly. I had had a couple of hard weeks and gratitude has really helped and changed this week. If anyone's noticed me actually posting on facebook for once and it being about gratitude, that's why! He invited us to flood social media w gratitude. His message is only 10 min I'd highly suggest checking it out. Look up "president nelson message of hope". But yea, I'm so grateful for everyone who supports me, for my family, friends, the gospel and christ! Gratitude really does help.
Hope everyone has a great week. These restrictions are dumb.
Love,
Elder Fiore
