Hello dear family!
Ok I'm trying not to cry right now. i just looked at the reunion pictures and i just want all you Flakes to know how much I love you! And why are you all so tall....and im still short? HOly Cow looks like you all had lots of fun and ya'll better go to the reunion next year too because i miss you lots. Now you can all write me a letter and tell me how much you missed me! Haha just kidding.... Kind of.
Well another inspiring week. Our new ward mission leader is helping us get some good stuff happening here. We started volley ball at the beach on thursday nights. we had a good turn out, despite the rain. And we are starting the stop-smoking workshop at the church on wed. nights. Its a great way to get people in the church and also a really non-pressured way to contact people. People are more likely to talk to us when we ask them if they "know anyone who wants to quit smoking?" instead of "what do you think is the purpose of life?" Plus it helps people to see that we are trying to help in the community and people seem to like that. By the way the word religion is practically a swear word here. We hear this daily "Dont you know more wars are started by religion then in any other way?" Yeah....try getting around that. Peace, love, and Harmony!
But i do love these earth-loving, meditating, good-energied people here in Kelowna. I think that if i didnt have the gospel I would also be doing yoga in the park, backpacking across the country, and cherry-picking during the summer to to sustain me for the rest of the year, not to mention dread locks. Seriously.
Well Katie got baptised down in the states this week. And Tiffany Terry recieved the Holy Ghost at church. Lately we have been helping the members learn to seek personal revelation in their missionary efforts. We have been applying this ourselves in the work and have been seeing many more tender mercies of the Lord as we let HIm lead us. Im very happy to know the true nature of God. To be able to have a relationship with the Father of my spirit and with my Saviour and ultimate example Jesus Christ. Im doing this for Him. For any other reason, i promise i would not have made it this far with out going home. I love Him and want to obey Him for the rest of my life. I love this gospel, it means everything to me. Im happy to stand up for my Lord and teach about Him to all who will listen.
