#7 P-day in Toronto (Tillsonburg)

October 11, 2016

Steve's p-day was on Tuesday because Toronto's Thanksgiving was on Monday the October 10,2016.
Steve said his knee is doing great. Almost all the swelling is gone, he is till wearing his knee brace. The medical guy there doesn't think Steve needs to see the doctor, so we will keep praying nothing is really wrong!!

The guy on the far right of the picture is Steve's new companion Elder Brand

Thanks for all your prayers for Elder Dixon!!

This week has been another fantastic week!

     We had what's called skills and interviews this week, which is basically zone council, but President and Sister Shields come, give some instruction, and do quarterly interviews with each missionary in the zone! It was sweet! In my interview we talked a lot about BYU football to start ahah. President Shields is a big BYU football fan so that was very fun! He asked if I had any questions, and I had a list so we went through those, and that was pretty much the rest of the interview haha. 

     We're still led to lots of people and are seeing miracles left and right. One of my favorites from this week was we were in an area(I believe by revelation) doing some things and contacting some potentials, ended up staying and knocking some more doors. When we were walking to our car we saw someone in their garage and went and talked to him. He said he had been looking everywhere for a Book of Mormon, bookstores, etc.. He said that his previous boss had said that she based most of the principles of the business off what she had learned from the Book of Mormon and her religion. The business was very successful so he wanted to read the Book! Unfortunetly he works on a boat and is gone for months at a time so I may not see him again, but he is going to read the Book of Mormon and has the missionaries number for when he gets backand I'm sure will want to be baptized!

     Also Reg totally changed and has decided to repent and stop judging others, big change we saw was when we taught the importatnece of the sacrament and invited them to take one thing to church they wanted to "sacrifice" and leave behind. Reg said he would leave behind judging others. President Fisher said he came in early on Sunday and asked if he and President Fisher could start over! It was incredible and my testimony was greatly stregnthened of the power of this message leading unto repentance! We saw him yesterday and he did get a bit offended at church haha, but there is still incredible progress!

     Because it was Thanksgiving we went and said we were "hymning for Thanksgiving" going door to door haha. We said we were singing a hymn of grattitude. I was suprised how many people wouldn't even let us sing them a song! There were some that did though and the spirit was super strong!

     I love being a missionary! I know this message that I am sharing is the most joyous that anyone could be sharing and offering! I know lives change as they turn to Christ, and that any honest seeker who continues seeking will eventually be led to the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, and thye will want to be baptized and become a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! I hope all is still going well! I love and miss you all!
