Week 62 - Oh Canada!

Well folks, today is transfer day! And although I'm staying here in South Nampa, I'm getting a new companion! Elder Mumford (my companion for this last transfer) is heading up to North Meridian, which is where I served from March until July, so I'm pumped for him. And my new companion is Elder Hillyer! We're already pretty great friends, so I couldn't be more excited. Plus he's from Canada (hence the title of this email). One big change is that they're giving 2 of our 5 wards to a new set of sister missionaries, so our workload will be shrunk a little bit. But that just means we can focus more on the people that need us, so again, I'm excited.

We've had some super cool miracles this week and met a lot of new people. Here's one quick story: Kaitlyn has some major health issues, and doesn't get to do a lot of normal 16 year old girl things. Her dad joined the Church a long time ago but hasn't gone to church in years. But the young women in the ward decided to invite Kaitlyn to their youth group activity on Wednesday night, and she had a blast. The young women really rallied around her and made her feel loved. So what happened Sunday morning at church? In comes Kaitlyn, and her dad who hasn't been to church in years, and her mom, who now wants to be baptized. Inviting Kaitlyn to a little activity wasn't a huge deal, but it's going to end up having eternal repercussions.

Love you all and hope you have a great week!

Sincerely, 

Elder Doyle
