Heritage Days🎪

Hey Folks!

So this week was Heritage Days! It is a big festival here that is lots of fun. Because of the mixing pot that is here in Canada there are so many different cultures and things. There were 65 different countries that set up booths and were selling food. It was delicious :) we were able to volunteer at this festival to help the food bank. It was fun to be among all the different cultures of Edmonton! This place is the best!

I have found that one of the hardest parts of serving a mission is the amount that you love the people. As we teach people and they don't accept it is so hard! There are also many hopeless people that live downtown that we talk to everyday. It breaks my heart seeing people in such sad situations and without hope. Many reject the message we share and they don't understand how much happiness it can bring them.

On a happier note though, I met this sir named Tarek on the LRT and he recently moved here from Syria! He said he has been going to a few churches so I invited him to learn about ours. Turns out he lives outside of my area (just like everyone else I FIND😒) but we hooked him up with the missionaries near him and he was super pumped to meet with them! And a girl I found in Whitemud just got married and is in my boundary and her and her husband want to meet with missionaries! What a miracle!!

Keep on shinin'
Love,
Sister Moon🌙

  1. Belief is the reason we go on a mission. It is the motive for preaching about Christ and sharing/Proclaiming his love. Faith is understanding we are children of God and our Heavenly Father. May this defined and explained and Meaning of faith bless you in life. Faith is defined again and because faith has an inherent joy it gives us a solid foundation that we finally have the peace we have been searching For.

    "Many believer's feed themselves on what God hasn't done. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I create the atmosphere for the spirit of offense to arise and to thrive. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I legitimize unbelief. I live with a sense of justification, for not believing God.

    Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance. even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance

    Heaven is a place where everyone is celebrated, some are more honored but everyone is celebrated. All men and all women shall be judged on the light which they have received. Heaven is a permissible culture. God's nature is eternally permissible. These statements protect us from credit.

    Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance, even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done. Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance. Faith doesn't deny a problems existence, it denies it's influence. He or she was someone whom aridity and desolation never disturbed for he or she had a deeply rooted, and a vigorous faith.

    Now we can act as we have always dreamed. Now we can act as we have always been. Now we can step into the light and gather the sunlight instead of blocking out our possibilities. Instead of blocking out our joy. Variety will bloom in/under the sun. We can show off our best, we can enjoy other people's gifts. We can blossom where we stand upon the joy that faith provides us. Upon the joy that faith inherently has, which blossoms the entire field of flowers"
