Spring at last! (Except in Iqaluit)
The leaves are still few and far between in Quebec
and Ontario (and non-existent in treeless Iqaluit), but warmer temperatures
make missionary work more fun B and apparently more successful! How grateful we are to see so many people
join the Church in recent weeks.
Congratulations to all the people involved in these miracles of
conversion - and that includes every missionary. Whether you are finding, teaching,
fellowshipping, helping members feel the spirit of missionary work,
strengthening less actives, baptizing, or strengthening a companion, the light
you emanate to the world helps to make it a better place for all of us. Every missionary contributes to the goals of
increasing convert baptisms and retention, building God=s kingdom on earth, and bringing the Church out of
obscurity. Thank you for your selfless
service. Let=s do all we can to qualify for the blessings and
miracles we seek. We do God=s work by bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to a
spiritually hungry world.

Mission Miracles and Memories
President McAteer, newly called stake president in
Ottawa, told us about desiring to obtain a Korean Book of Mormon for a visiting
Korean family member who was leaving very shortly. He asked the missionaries when he saw them in
the building how he could get this book, and they went to call the zone leaders
to ask. Half-way to the phone they
turned around and came back. They told President McAteer they remembered a Book
of Mormon with Oriental writing floating around in their car for some
time. They checked the trunk and sure
enough, it was a Korean Book of Mormon, available immediately when needed!
From New Members
In my work I have been traveling for 25 years
searching for something that was missing.
When I arrived in this small border town in 2003 I knew in my heart that
there was going to be a major change in my life. The elders came down my driveway, and I realized
I wanted to talk with them. When they
came to my house every time I knew that these young men were on a mission from
God. I felt the Holy Ghost in my home
when they were here. I also knew some
feelings were making me change. As I
read the Book of Mormon it was so powerful that it made me cry - I had
never felt like this in my whole life.
As soon as I was in church I knew I was home. I listened to everyone singing the hymns and
they were like voices from Heaven. I
felt love for the first time in so long!
My heart felt like it would jump out of my chest, I was so full of
life. I now have the most wonderful
family - the members of the Church are so great. I feel so blessed.
