"I Hope You Know That Jesus Christ Lives"

Sorry I do not have enough time to write a lot today, but know that I am so grateful for all that you do, and I hope that you know that Jesus Christ lives, and that He loves us all so much! We are so blessed to be here, at this time. That we are in our current circumstances to learn, and to grow. And I hope that we will all take the time, since it is thanksgiving, and it's just good for us. To say a prayer of gratitude! Just get on your knees, it you're capable and tell Heavenly Father what you're grateful for. He loves you, and He shows His love for us in so many ways. Let's all take some time,and recognize those ways!

I love you! Thank you for all that you do !

May We Always be Yolked With Christ

This week has been crazy, but good!

I said Goodbye to Sister Veylupek she's in Winnipeg now, which is about 7 hours away.

I also am with Sister Porter, she's absolutely amazing! I love her so much, and I am looking forward to this next transfer together! It's going to be amazing! We've been praying super hard for miracles, and also for families! 

It's was a bit of a crazy week, with packing, goodbyes, and etc. I was in Regina for three days! Whoa, talk about being out of your area for a long time. I really missed it here,and I felt like I was abandoning the people we were teaching... I mean this is their salvation we're talking about! 

 

I am so glad that I am here on my mission, and that we are able to be here on our missions, and that we can work hard! I made a tuke! Which is a beanie! I'll take a picture of it, and what not.. I made it for an Elder. 

We were just informed that they will be tearing up the road to our building so we need to go, because they're waiting for us to move our car!

I love you, thank you for all your prayers, and support. There definitely are miracles all around us!

Don't run faster than the Holy Ghost! 

um... I have been reading a chapter from the New Testament everyday- it's great I love chapter 11 of Matthew :) And may we always be yolked with Christ 

Love you!

"Life always goes easier, when we try not to be at war with Him, but rather have peace in our lives"

Thank you all so much for your emails, prayers, and support. I truly felt them this week, as it was a great week, and a really motivating week, for both my companion and I. We love you!

So this week, we were able to met with our investigator Kris, she's doing really well. She actually committed to be baptized on Dec 20. And we are hoping that she will be able to have quit smoking by then. It's amazing the change that is happening within her heart, and her actions! Since she's been learning more about our Savior Jesus Christ. 

Also this week I definitely have had a lighter heart this week. Feeling the Spirit so much more! 

Our motivation, and what we have been saying to help us stay focused, and applying training from Z.T.M. and our Zone Conference is not running faster than the Holy Ghost.. I promise it is totally not worth it! Going with the Spirit=so much better it's almost crazy... but it's not because it's of God! 

I love this gospel so much! And I am so happy :) 

We received transfer calls I will be staying in Moose Jaw for another 4 weeks. It's a little different, because of Christmas. I hope that I don't get transferred :/ And I will be welcoming Sister Porter! I love her so much. I met her in the M.T.C. we came out together but she was in another companionship, obviously! ;) 

Anyway I met her actually before our missions. I helped her pick out her garments, and get her already to go to the temple. Well.. as much as I can.. ha ha. Anyway she's super cute, adorable, a little quiet and shy.  But that's totally all good! I love you all so much! Hope that you have a great week! 

Thank you again for all that you do! 

Oh, and my heart goes out to those who are mourning the lost of Great Uncle Howard. I know that he is being attended by Angels, and by so many loved ones on the other side of the veil. I know that there was a glorious reunion on the other side. :) 

I love the temple. And since being on my mission. My love for the Salt Lake City Temple has grown exponentially. I am amazed at the love, and dedication that has been put into that temple specifically, and so many others. I love this gospel, I know Christ lives, and that He loves us. He has a plan, and life always goes easier, when we try not to be at war with Him, but rather have peace in our lives. 

Love you! 

Love Sister Tomkinson

P.S. The weather only a dusting of snow as of late, nothing sticking,but it's about 10-16* today. hmm :) and not including wind chill with that- I would say about 4-7* I love you! Love Sister Tomkinson... and b.t.w. I'm talking Fahrenheit. :D 

Let Your Light Shine!

This week has been one of the fastest, yet slowest weeks of my life. Ha ha, anyway it was a pretty good week over all.

On Halloween, we did volunteering for the Moose Jaw Food Bank- that was so much fun! We just went door to door collecting food for the food drive. This is my second time on my mission doing this, I did it before in a small town of Melfort for a Zone Conference service opportunity. 

We were able to have Hardika come to a baptism this weekend, and that was super good. She said one of the things she wanted to do before she was baptized, was to see a baptism. So it's been super good for her to see one! 

One of the boy's who were baptized this past weekend was Ben. Ben is 8, is the oldest of 6 children, and also has read the Book of Mormom It astounds me the faith that children have! 

So I made a poster! Yay! Hope you enjoy #whatFBmissionaries do! ;) 

And with it, I hope that you all will let your light so shine, so that it will draw men into the fold. So that they may glorify our Father in Heaven. I love you all so much! We get transfer calls this week! :O) I can't believe I have already been here for 4 1/2 months! Ha ha, anyway I think I'll stay at least 1 more transfer.. but we'll see. :) 

Love you so much! Have a great day!
