Shaylee had a very busy week with her mission. They were able to have an apostle come to their mission. Elder Sorez came and spoke to just the missionaries for a 2 hour session. He shook all their hands and had a good convo with Shaylee about President Monson. They had 9 sisters I think in their house for the session.

CHAPTER 6: Glen Allan/ Sherwood Park
WEATHER: 47-60s (It was cold. And there was lots of rain)
Whats up guys!!! I wasn't going to send a email this week but i know for many of you hearing from me is the highlight of your week... so here we are! (also my mom told me to send one) Ill keep this one short and sweet!
So me and my really tight friend Elder Ulisses Soares were able to meet up this week. We were able to shake hands and get a super sick picture. We caught up on life for a couple of seconds and it truly was a great experience. On a real note though elder soares came to our mission and spoke to us for 2 hours! All 172 missionaries from my mission were able to come and hear him speak. It was truly an amazing experience!
EXTRA THINGS THAT HAPPENED
○ Had the best Mexican food of my life
○ Saw a 50 year old that wore a thong
○ Talked to some Chinese people who invited us to go get tea with them
○ Had 3 friends come to church 
○ Went golfing today
○ Had exchanges
○ Tried a canadian soda
○ Did a ice bucket challenge
SPIRITUAL THOUGHT:
Since me and Elder Ulisses Soares were able to meet up i wanted to share something he said that I really liked. When he spoke to us he put a huge emphasis on joy. He said " When you loose your joy, you loose your faith. And when you loose your faith, you loose your joy." I think these two lines are so interchangeable. Ive noticed this in my own life. THIS IS THE GOSPEL OF JOY!!! JESUS CHRIST IS JOY! Let us not loose sight of that. Let us stand firm in our faith, through our faith we can have joy. I invite you all to reflect back on your life and ask yourself when have you felt the most joy? When I did this i realized that ive had the most joy when ive been close to my savior jesus christ and his gospel. Im sure many of you, as you reflect, will find this to be true for you as well.
I love you all! Thanks for all of the love and support!!!
