Awe mom I love you so much. I wish I could just tell you every little detail of the week:) 

to answer your questions our address is 35 poplar st. amherst NS B4H 1L4. church on sunday was good, there was about 15 people there, it was kinda sad 4 of our investigators were going to come and then 30 minutes before church they all slowly one by one canceled. something else that is sad is karen. She was our investigator and she was going to get baptized on the 21st this month but last night right before we went to bed we got a text that said she didn't want us to text her or stop by her house anymore and that she wasn't going to be baptized. It was so out of no where, we are still going to try and stop by her and try to figure out what happened, but I remember in the MTC in our last conference the MTC president spoke to us and said that our missions would stretch us and we would go through hard things but that the hardest thing we would go through would be when we spend so much time with a person and we see the gospel change their lives but then our of no where they will say don't come back, and at that moment your heart will brake, but also this is when you will be able to experience the power of the atonement the most stongly. And that is so true. There are so many things that you go through everyday that really should just brake your spirit but but somehow you find the strength and the energy to keep going. I think it comes from truly understanding the gospel and from the tender mercies that God gives to us each day:) I am so grateful for those little tender mercies everyday! I love my family and I miss you all this thanksgiving but I am so grateful for your support and your emails and pictures<3 I just always feel so much love! 

love sister wood
