With Love From Prince Albert! April 20, 2015

Hi Mom and Dad!!

So first Dad I want you to know I think it's better for me to just test your scripture knowledge because obviously I'm on a mission and know them much better :P  Also me and my companion had such a wonderful miracle yesterday!!! We met with a couple we contacted on the street and we could just feel their love and their hearts opening and half way through the lesson the wife said "When you come back you can talk about. . . " and Sister Wray and I were like "OH MY GOSHHH" she set the next appointment, not us!  It was beautiful! Also We talk their daughters the song I am a child of God and they loved it and the dad Gary loved it and told us about a few years in the 80s he lived with a member family and they put the love of God and for Christ back in his heart and he was so happy to know that we would be coming back to teach them and their family!!  

 Then we found a leader of a youth home who we got to invite to sports night on tuesday (it's something pretty common out here as just a weekly fellowship activity) so that invitation was to about 15-20 kids!)  And we're hoping they come!

Wow right?!?! Also tell my leetle bubbi she looks beautiful in that picture! I usually print them out and put them on my wall :)  How was your week?? Also I just heard that quote from president Hinckley in the training I have to do each week but we are working on getting members motivated and involved in trying to help themselves and us.  It's a bit tougher, Prince Albert is like a hard shell candy with a gooey inside, so far we have found out about the crunchy outer shell and now we're wondering when we will hit the gooey lovey inside, we have with some but others are more reserved.

  I love you and love being able to serve our Savior Jesus Christ.  I am so thankful that I get to come to Him for strength in my weakness.  In that talk, President Hinckley says trust them because the Lord had to trust us to call us and how hard that must be for Him!  And that's how I feel, that Heavenly Father really has put such a trust in me and all of us to help care for and love those around us.  As long as we're doing what we need to do to be obedient and feel the spirit we can get that guidance in our lives and be able to better love those around us.  :)  I love you heaps Mom and Dad!! I  am so excited to skype you soon! and I miss you always :)

Love,

Sister Kerry Anne Sherksnas

Ps- your scripture this week is "And the day comes, saith the Lord, when I shall send forth a famine, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but of hearing the word of the Lord"  

also if I've already sent that one and it's a repeat " I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom, that ye may learn when ye are in the service of your fellow being, ye are only in the service of your God."

Also please tell the ward I am doing great, I love them and miss them and tell Bishop I especially miss him too! :)
