Dear Mum and Everyone,
This week has been pretty wet and rainy and cold. I feel like it is September! Sister K. H. is from Stoke-on-Trent [we have a soccer coach from there staying with us this week].
I love Waterton. Whenever I tell people where I'm from, I always mention it. People are so intrigued with the landscape in Canada. They love it!
It has been such an odd week. Bob and Sally are going away for a month, so we wont' be able to see them. We've been doing a lot of knocking doors. We can usually get good conversations with people but yesterday we were just facing overall grouchiness from people. We have been doing some fun service activities recently. We helped an elderly lady from the ward with her garden. It started absolutely chuckin' it down when we were, so we got really wet and muddy. Here, people can't really wait for the ground to dry before doing their gardens like we do back home. It was really nice and relaxing to be able to do some gardening (and to wear trousers!) :D I felt so free.
We also helped another member of the ward this week. She's a young mom of two, and she's suffering from morning sickness. Her husband has been on a work trip for the past eight weeks so we've been going by to help her clean her house every week. I felt so bad for her. Her kids are super energetic, I don't know how she copes with it all on her own, but her husband is back as of yesterday, so that's nice.
We have been praying really hard that we can find more people to teach. Like I said, our teaching pool is more like a small puddle, but we will continue to march North! (in the words of President Pilkington.)
I love the gospel. I love being a missionary. I am so grateful for the time I get to spend as a full-time servant of the Lord. :)
Love,
Sister Lybbert
