"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
