Dartmouth is poppin!!!

So many cool things have been happening!! 

So a couple of weeks ago we knocked into this family that moved here from India. We invited her to this yw activity that we planned (sister cartwright was doing hair) and just as we were setting up all of a sudden we saw them walking up to the church!! Now she is going to come to the yw camp that's at the end of August. We are also teaching this other girl on Thursday, the elders found her on fb and hopefully she will come to camp and activities too! We had a volleyball activity on Saturday morning too and it was sweet so many people came, now we just have to get them to invite their friends. Alaynas husband, who's not a member, was their too he really loves volleyball! Alayna is preparing herself to go to the Temple!!! We are so excited!!!

On exchanges sister Hawkins and I met this guy named tim who was sitting outside of his house we talked with him for like and hour. In the end he wasn't interested but right before we left he said he would love for us to come back and teach his 8 year old daughter nikka! So we went back Saturday night and taught her and then they both came to church on sunday!! Veron( a former investigator) commented on one of my pics on fb and so I started messaging her again and we went by and she let us in and we are going back again on Thursday!  I really love veron and would love to start teaching her again! We also stopped by another former christy and we dot think she's ready to be taught again right now but it was really cool. She said how grateful she is to us for teaching her how to pray. Life is stressful for her right now and she said that she's been praying a lot. It was really nice to hear. It reminded me that no effort is wasted. Yesterday we were knocking in this apartment building and this couple let us in. It was a good lesson. They know the bible really well haha so that was pretty intimidating. At the end of the lesson though she told us how she worked at the hospital and i asked if she knew doctor maclennan. She was like "wait doctor maclennans a mormon?". That seemed to soften her heart and now we are gping back again on Thursday. It's cool how one person's example can make a big difference.

There's probably more miracles that I'm missing but I got to go!

Love you!!
