Miracles

April 23
Jeanette has seen miracle after miracle. She says she has to come up with a new subject line for her emails because Miracles would work each week. They are in the right place at the right time or someone arrives when they need to or a phone rings to wake someone up so they answer the door.

Spent another day in Powell River with members and contacting. They were asked to visit a couple who moved out from Eastern Canada and the visit went well.They also met a friend of the couple who lives in Comox so they will visit her when back in Courtenay.

"There was pollen EVERYWHERE and in EVERYTHING and I am forever grateful that I do not have seasonal allergies because that would be like DEATH in Courtenay. Seriously, we'd come back from an hour lesson and our windshield would have solid, dark yellow streaks on it from the pollen. Tuesday was the worst with it. I kept having to wipe my name tag off because it no longer looked black. We've spent a LOT of time outside this week, too (no sunburns!!!!) :D 

  and I am very grateful for the wonderful weather here."

She got her new phone.

Saw Victoria Arnott from Red Deer stake who now lives in Courtenay. She went to Red Deer YSA for awhile.

Elder Bednar

April 16
Went to Richmond to hear Elder Bednar speak to the missionaries. Elder Bednar and the other general authorities shook hands with all the missionaries.

Elder David A Bednar is an Apostle. A member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

“We read in the Bible that the ancient Apostles held the keys of the kingdom. The role of an Apostle today is the same as it was anciently,” he said. “An Apostle is a missionary, bearing testimony of the reality and divinity of Jesus Christ in all the world.”

To see the Prophet, the First Presidency and all the members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles:

Powell River

She and her companion now also cover the Powell River ward. She and Sister Bawden take a ferry from Comox over to Powell River. The area has not had missionaries for about a year but many people still recognize us as LDS missionaries. They stayed over night at a sister's home.

She had a hard day when several people didn't want to be taught any more. It is a sad day, but later in the week they spent the day "finding" at the marina. Near the end of the day they found someone to teach!

They volunteer each week at different places and homes.
