"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; and are built upon the foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" (Eph. 2:19-20).</div>
<div align="center" class="irc_mutc">

<div class="irc_mutc" style="text-align: justify;">
Our calling as full-time missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has come to an end, though as members of His church we have accepted the challenge to share His gospel always. The past 18 months have been indescribably wonderful. To serve Him was a marvelous blessing, and to serve where we did was one of His tender mercies. Our opportunity to serve a mission in a part of Elder Tiffany's old mission, our old homestead of Mahone Bay and area, and on Sister Tiffany's home ground was much more than dreamed of. We will be forever indebted to our families, friends (new and old), all of the young single adults of the Dartmouth Nova Scotia Stake, fellow missionaries, leaders, and our Father in Heaven, for such a blessing.</div>
<div class="irc_mutc" style="text-align: justify;">
Our blood will always be mixed with salt water from the coasts of Atlantic Canada. We pray that we have been a positive influence for good and for spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to His children in that part of His vineyard. As one famous military leader said to some on foreign soil: "(We) shall return!"</div>
<div class="irc_mutc" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="irc_mutc" style="text-align: center;">
Because this is our last blog (at least for this mission) we want to share a lot of pictures of our last couple of weeks in Nova Scotia and then our trip home (all 3,300 miles).</div>

We're not sure we'll ever be able to express in words the wonderful experience we have had in serving the Lord as missionaries in the Canada Halifax Mission. We know we were called by a Prophet of God to serve there as representatives of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is with gratitude in our hearts beyond measure, that we wish to tell everyone who has been any part of our mission, at home or elsewhere, how much we love them and appreciate them and their support.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is with more than faith, but with sure knowledge that we express our testimony that God lives and that He loves us. Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer, and only through Him may we return to live with our Heavenly Father by obedience to the laws and commandments given to us. The Book of Mormon is true and is another witness of Jesus Christ, given to us through a prophet of God. The priesthood of God has been restored to the earth with His Church, with all the laws, rights, and ordinances of His church as He organized it, originally, and with modern-day apostles and prophets to guide and direct us. Joseph Smith did indeed see and talk with God and Jesus Christ. Families can be together forever, through Heavenly Father's plan of everlasting happiness. This is the message we wish to share with everyone. We left our family for 18 months so we could help bring other families together forever. </div>

Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. . .the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets" (<em>The Family - A Proclamation to the World</em>, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Sept. 23, 1995).</div>

We were invited, along with Pres. and Sis. Leavitt, to dinner at the home of Bro. and Sis. Aubrey and Thelma Fielden. They are very, very dear friends of ours from way back in the 1960s. Bro. and Sis. Fielden are close to 90, but probably more alert than many people half their age. They are among the pioneers of the church in Nova Scotia, and we enjoyed listening to their accounts of church activity and growth in Atlantic Canada.</div>

As our mission draws to a close, we have come to realize more than ever the importance of family and friends. Far more precious than any material possession is the bond we should have with our loved ones. When we left home to come here, we were concerned for our children and their families. The Lord has taken better care of them than we could have, so we owe it to Him to be our very best selves, and to share the message of His gospel with others, that they may have the blessings we have. Our desire is to recognize and show to others that we are not physical beings having spiritual experiences, but spiritual beings having a physical experience. We hope we can rise above our temporal surroundings and live more in tune with the Spirit of God to be the sons and daughters of a Heavenly King, whom we actually are. If anyone has been converted to His gospel by our activities and time here, we pray that we are personally.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Quorum of Twelve Apostles of <br />
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ" (Ephesians 4:11-12).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-size: small;">In our recent institute class we discussed what it is we can do to be more effective as our brother's keeper. The discussion turned to what the Apostles have asked us to do. If you could have one of the Savior's Apostles as a personal friend, your "keeper," of all the Savior has chosen - both in His time and in this last dispensation, who would you choose? Why would you choose that one person? Some responses of young single adults were: "What he says hits me," "He tells it straight," "I hear it from him like it is," "There is honesty directed by kindness." If we are listening to or reading and enjoying what the Apostles have to tell us about how life is, we're not getting the message. Hopefully we will see their messages as signs of hope for a better future and where we can be of greater service and showing greater compassion. Let us not compare ourselves to others. If we're putting the Savior first, we're doing well. Determine which direction we're looking in life and that will help determine which direction we're heading.</span></div>

As we head down the home stretch, during this last month as missionaries in the Canada Halifax Mission, we definitely look forward to returning to family and friends, but are already feeling a loss at leaving family and friends. Our Heavenly Father has been very merciful toward us in allowing this time to be "back home." It has been a wonderfully spiritual high to serve as His representatives in Atlantic Canada, to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, to teach and serve with wonderful young single adults in the mission area, and to serve in various positions, including the temple. A time and experience that will certainly not be forgotten, but that will be a base to build upon.</div>

Some questions that men and women have been seeking answers to for centuries are: Where did I come from before this life? Why am I here on earth? Where am I going after I leave this life? Is there something I need to be doing or learning while I'm here in mortality? As missionaries and representatives of the Lord Jesus Christ, we are often asked these questions. Our responses to the second question narrow to what the Lord has revealed through His prophets in latter days, as well as in times of old: We are here to gain a physical body and to be tested to see if we can be faithful to Him through trials and challenges we face here on earth (Abraham 3:24-26).</div>

Not all at once, but a little at a time, as we are able to grasp and instill within our lives.</div>

One of the couples we have a chance to share in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ is Elder and Sister Davis (Logan, Utah) who have been in Newfoundland for most of their mission and are now assigned to the mission office. Sister Davis was one of Elder Tiffany's students the first year he taught school at Logan High School.<br />

As we sojourn through this life, let us focus more on what we can do for and with others, and less on ourselves. If we want to get to Heaven, let us make sure we do what we can to help others to get there, through our loving acts of kindness and compassion. Family is so much more important than things. We'll probably never see a U-Haul trailer on the back of a hearse. As a latter-day prophet has said:<strong> "Man's earthly existence is but a test as to whether he will concentrate his efforts, his mind, his soul upon things which contribute to the comfort and gratification of his physical instincts and passions, or whether he will make as his life's end and purpose the acquisition of spiritual qualities" (David O. McKay).</strong></div>

"And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have." (Luke 24:36-39)<br />

Our lesson this week at the Dalhousie University Institute class was on the Atonement. This was a hard one to pull together, because the subject is so all-encompassing. There is nothing in the life of any mortal who has ever lived, worlds without number, that it doesn't affect. To help the students to allow this doctrine of Christ sink deeper into their hearts, to help them gain a greater love and appreciation of the Father and the Son, became a challenge to narrow down to a one hour session. In our recent CES broadcast, Elder Nelson reminded us that we will all stand before the Father to account for our mortal existence. He asked how we are preparing for this interview with God? What behaviors and characteristics are present in our own lives that would indicate we are earnestly preparing for this interview? In his book <u>The Continuous Atonement</u>, Brad Wilcox says,<strong> <em>"The Atonement must be used to escape sin and be comfortable with God rather than trying to escape God and be comfortable with sin."</em></strong><br />

James Aulenbach is one of the most talented keyboard musicians ever. He and Elder T served in church callings together when we lived here in the 1970s. He is requested to play at many events and churches on a constant basis. He gave us a private concert at this Anglican Church in Lunenburg, where many movies are filmed. He plays here almost every week. </div>

If it seems like we have a lot of company, we do. Sister Tiffany is a great hostess and was once given a blessing that she would have a lot of guests in her home, and we do.

Nothing fancy, just friendly.</div>

When we arrived, the mission president told us to make friends, don't get into trouble, don't cause trouble, and leave a good impression. We've fed and entertained many people - in and out of the church, some from right off the streets, and it has been fun and most often a spiritual boost to ourselves and guests alike. We feel very blessed to be able to serve in this way, and pray that we've brought some closer to their Savior.</div>

The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints (aka Mormons) is based totally on the teachings of the Savior. As members and missionaries of His church, we are commissioned to teach His word, cry repentance, and bring our Father in Heaven's children to Him. We preach no doctrine that is not His doctrine, the most important being the Atonement of Jesus Christ. As the Prophet Joseph Smith declared, <strong>"The fundamental principles of our religion is the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven; and all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to it."</strong></div>

While serving in the Canada Halifax Mission as Church Education System (CES) missionaries, being assigned to work with the young single adults (YSA) has been a real blessing to us. We love being their "grandparents" on a temporary basis. We've grown very close to many of them and will find it hard to leave them when we return home in December. Sometimes our assignment with them requires a lot of extra time, energy, and talents we're surprised we have. But the Lord continues to bless us abundantly, and we keep moving forward.</div>

Doug Williams, the Stake High Councilor over YSA, at Costco, to gather most of our food. It appears enough to feed the 5,000, but we fed only 75-100, from Friday evening through Sunday.</div>

She was a delight to know and loved by everyone as a very compassionate and kind person, willing to help in any way she could. She kept the mission office organized and efficient, and she will be greatly missed.</div>

We had a surprise visit with some good friends of ours who were on a bus tour of Eastern Canada and New England. Mike and Carol Wilson and their daughter Diane were our neighbors in West Valley City, Utah, for 28 years. It was fun to chat with them and get caught up on their life happenings. We didn't know they were with a full bus load of Utahns, so we were greeted by many of the tourists with a big smile and handshakes. But we didn't get any possible investigators out of the whole group!</div>

One of our recent converts to the church, Meagan Coish, is soon to deliver a little baby girl. Sister Tiffany made this beautiful baby quilt for her. A little charity can go a long way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things...if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth...but charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him." (Moroni 7:45-47)</div>

"Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matt. 7:21-23)</div>

During the weekend of Sept. 13-16, we had the opportunity to travel with other missionaries to St. John's, Newfoundland, for their District Conference (similar to Stake Conference). One of the speakers reminded us of our opportunity to have ALL that the Father has through our obedience to His commandments. It isn't enough to believe in Christ, we must obey the commandments and do <u>AS</u> Christ. He said, "The thought or act of disobedience does not make sense, because iniquity always causes confusion. The thought of sin will always be confusing because it is against our eternal nature. Only to the natural man is iniquity carnally and/or sensually appealing." Elder Neil Maxwell said: "Consecration of one's self to the Lord is less of giving what you have, and more of giving what you are." It was a wonderful weekend of spiritual feasting, laced with great people and beautiful surroundings.</div>

We found out why every missionary who has been to Newfoundland absolutely loves it! The people are very humble and friendly, and the scenery is outstanding! While there, we were kept busy with meetings and firesides, but we did have time to see the sights. Pres. and Sis. Robinson, the temple president and matron, who had been there before, knew all the great spots to show us between meetings.</div>

We are so blessed to have so many loved ones from here and away that we can spend time with, while at the same time fulfill our commitment as representatives of the Lord Jesus Christ. Not every senior couple who serves a mission has the opportunities or challenges that others have. We have truly grown spiritually in our service, and recognize that when this mission comes to an end, our spiritual growth must not halt. With only two months left here, we face bitter-sweet thoughts of leaving family and friends to go home to family and friends. No two couples will have the same experience and growth, even if assigned to the same mission with the same tasks. We don't compare our mission with any other, as we should not compare ourselves with any other. We're just happy that we have been blessed with so many of the Lord's tender mercies.</div>

In our most recent Church Education System (CES) broadcast, Elder Russell M. Nelson, an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, spoke to us about being "standard bearers" for the Lord. He asked eight questions for us to consider, and said our answers should reflect in our personal lives whether we have decided to follow the Old Testament prophet Joshua's lead to "...serve the Lord" (Joshua 24:15). He asked: 1) Will you choose to increase in learning (sacred and secular)? 2) What manner of living will you choose? 3) Will you establish priorities to help you make proper choices? 4) With whom will you choose to associate? 5) Will you choose freedom or bondage? ("Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.") 6) Will you choose to follow the Lord or the philosophies of men? 7) How will you prepare for your personal interview with the Lord? 8) In whom will you put your trust? With these he added an Apostolic blessing and challenge to </div>

If it seems like you're seeing a lot of food pass by here, it's because there is a lot of food being served. One of the ways to get people to attend an event is to offer food. However, these are some of the regulars at church enjoying our potluck "Break the Fast", held every Fast Sunday after church.

Robinson (temple president and matron) speaking on family history, and one with Pres. and Sis. Leavitt speaking on how to be effective and productive member missionaries. Then we gathered at Bro. Cartier's home for a BBQ. Afterwards the youth went to the beach and we came home to rest up for Sunday's activities.</div>

She prepared a pulled pork dinner just like the one she cooked last spring for institute graduation that everyone raved about. She added a green salad, fruit salad, and dessert, and everyone went away filled and with a smile on their face.</div>

We ran from the dinner to the mission home for a senior missionary social to welcome Elder and Sister Lockhart from Pleasant Grove, Utah. They have just arrived and are going to Cornerbrook, Newfoundland, for the winter! We were entertained by Bro. Bill Green, who is from a little tiny village in Newfoundland. He sang some songs in Newfie dialect, introducing us to some Newfie vocabulary.</div>

After the social, we hurried back to the Halifax chapel to view the CES broadcast with Elder Russell M. Nelson. It was a very spiritual feast with a lot of good words of counsel and direction. Because of the difference in time zones, the broadcast was shown here from 9 to 10 p.m. We finally made it back to our apartment at 11:00 (we left it at 9:00 a.m.).</div>

This is a view from the back porch of the eatery where we stopped. There are so many beautiful scenes everywhere, it's hard not taking pictures of everything. It is so beautiful here, and now the leaves are starting to change (that's right - very early September!). If you love fall foliage scenes of New England, you'll love them as well in Nova Scotia.</div>

<strong>"It is my testimony that many of the regrets of tomorrow can be prevented by following the Savior today. If we have sinned or made mistakes - if we have made choices that we now regret - there is the precious gift of Christ's Atonement, through which we can be forgiven. We cannot go back in time and change the past, but we can repent. The Savior can wipe away our tears of regret and remove the burden of our sins. His Atonement allows us to leave the past behind and move forward with clean hands, a pure heart, and a determination to do better and especially to become better."</strong> (Dieter F. Uchtdorf, 2nd Couns., First Presidency, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints)</div>

Randi and Raju are the sixth couple from our YSA Branch to get married this year, and as far as we know, they are the last couple from the branch to be wed this year. Randi is a local gal and Raju is from Bangladesh. He migrated to Canada to study and live. He was converted to the church, met Randi, and says he thinks he'll stay here now.</div>

Elder and Sister Thatcher serve in the mission office and Ashley and Hari were members of the YSA Branch, until they married this past spring. Sister Thatcher was one of Ashley's elementary teachers in Orderville, Utah. We invited them all to dinner for a reunion. Hari is from India, and Elder Thatcher was a counselor at Centerville Junior High School, at one time.</div>

We had the great opportunity to attend a ceremony at the temple where the Peters family of Prince Edward Island were sealed together as a family for time and all eternity by the authority and priesthood of God. It was very touching to see this whole family, dressed in white, becoming an eternal family.</div>

Last Saturday we went with a group of YSA to Cape Split. This is a site on the Bay of Fundy and requires a ten mile hike (round trip) to get to. Our main assignment here was to transport youth. Because Elder Tiff's back has been in pain lately, he didn't make the hike, and Sister Tiff stayed at the trail head with him to keep him company.</div>

In a couple of weeks we will be starting our class at Dalhousie University. This year we will be studying "Doctrines of the Gospel." We think it will be a great course and we're looking forward to getting back into the classroom and discussing the gospel. The first paragraph of the student manual states:<strong> "Discovering what truth is and applying it in our lives are the most important things we can do while on earth. Only by gaining a knowledge of the truth are we able to build the kingdom of God and prepare for eternal life."</strong> It is our hope that we will help strengthen conversion to the truth as revealed to God's children by Him, so that they may not only know, but will also live in obedience to His commandments, and then share it with others.</div>

Some members of the church, as well as non-members, often ask why we have to pray, study the scriptures, attend church, and partake of the sacrament so often. In a revelation from God to the Prophet Joseph Smith came the answer: "Ye must practice virtue and holiness before me continually." (Doctrine and Covenants 46:33)</div>

There is something about the nature of developing those divine skills that makes it impossible even for God to teach us those things unless we participate in the process. Some things can only be learned by practice. Our Father allows us practice time. When we achieve one level of obedience - have we won the race? No, we have just crossed one hurdle. Then the Lord moves the next hurdle up a bit so we learn to master another level of obedience. In spiritual things, that level comes step by step over a period of time.</div>

Carmelita, our friend from the Philippines, a member of the Halifax Ward, is a constant reminder of how fellowshipping new members can help strengthen testimonies and attendance at church to learn more of the Savior and how to become like Him. She has struggled, and Sister Tiff has stepped right up to give her the love and friendship she needs. We share dinner appointments and church events to keep her in constant contact with the gospel. She has become a very dear friend.</div>

We've been here for more than a year and felt it would be nice to share a few notes about the history or background of Canada. The name "Canada" came from the explorer Jacque Cartier. On an expedition up the St. Lawrence River he stopped at a village which he called "Kanata," Iroquois for "village." Everything afterwards concerning the area was referred to as "Canada", and when all colonies were united it became the official name in 1867. The Canadian flag was a variation of the Union Jack used by Great Britain until 1945, when the maple leaf design was born. This design became the official flag of Canada on February 15, 1965.</div>

Nova Scotia means "New Scotland", thus their flag is linked to Scotland, and granted by King Charles I in 1625. It was the first flag flown in the Commonwealth outside of Great Britain. Throughout the American and Canadian colonial wars, Nova Scotia was the site of numerous skirmishes, but after the American Revolution, the colony was settled by British Loyalists. It originally included all of what is now Maritime Canada and part of northern Maine. Finally, in 1867, after the other Atlantic Provinces were established, Nova Scotia joined the Canadian Confederation.</div>

What Is the Book of Mormon?</h3>

The Book of Mormon is another witness of Jesus Christ and confirms the truths found in the Holy Bible. The Book of Mormon does not replace the Bible; rather, they are companion works that together teach about God and Jesus Christ.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both volumes of scripture are a compilation of teachings as recorded by ancient prophets. While the Bible details events in the eastern hemisphere, the Book of Mormon documents the lives of the inhabitants of the ancient Americas.</div>

Our time spent as missionaries is very satisfying, in that we have the opportunity go into this part of His vineyard to share His gospel as He taught it during His ministry here in mortality. We do not teach anything He did not teach, and what we proclaim was proclaimed by Him. Our Heavenly Father loves us as much as He loved those who lived at the time the Bible was written about. He will speak to us if we ask. We are part of the fold the Good Shepherd spoke of whom He would teach (John 10:16). His work will go forth and cover the world, whether we take part in its movement or not. Elder and Sister Tiffany are thankful and truly humbled that we have been found worthy enough to be called to help spread the kingdom abroad. We want to thank everyone - family, friends, neighbors, ward, stake, fellow missionaries (young and old-er) - who are supporting us and providing encouragement and inspiration in serving the Lord.</div>

Every year, during the first weekend of August, Halifax celebrates Natal Day. That is the birthday of the province of Nova Scotia. There are many events and performers on the boardwalk of Halifax during the entire three day weekend. We met Elder and Sister Thatcher there, and enjoyed the festivities, food, and beautiful weather. It gives us a chance to get out among the people, to talk with them, and hopefully to share a gospel message with them.</div>

On Monday of Natal Day weekend the MacDonald Bridge is closed to automobile traffic for a major part of the day, and they have a "bridgewalk." This bridge is right downtown Halifax and spans the harbor for one mile to the Dartmouth side. Everyone is invited to walk the bridge, just for fun. It's not a race, just walk at whatever pace you choose and enjoy the exercise and views.<br />

Sister-in-law Ruby (middle), her sister Dot, and our nephew Jeff walk everywhere and always the Bridgewalk. Elder T worked up a sweat trying to keep up with these ladies, and they're much older than he.<br />

We took the opportunity to invite the sister missionaries over for dinner. Sis. Broadhead (in back) was employed as a high school teacher in Alberta before coming on her mission, and her companion, Sis. Drew, was one of her students. They are assigned to work in the YSA Branch, and we love them dearly.<br />

Yesterday, on a drive to Eastern Passage (the other side of Dartmouth), we passed this very large vessel at dock, being unloaded and then loaded again with automobiles. We didn't get a picture of the cars, but there are many hundreds of acres of them waiting for shipment. This picture hardly even comes close to showing how really large this vessel is!<br />

We start teaching again in another month when Dalhousie University is back in full swing. For a short time, we will probably also be teaching at the church in Truro (about 40-50 miles north). We're looking forward to getting back to the classroom and sharing the gospel in a learning environment such as that. Our course will be "Doctrines of the Gospel," and will give us an opportunity to study the scriptures with the young people and to feel their love of the Savior and their desire to learn more of how they can become more like Him. As we do that, we help fulfill the Savior's command that we teach all nations and bear His "Standard of Truth."</div>

Joseph Smith, the latter-day prophet through whom the Lord ushered in the last dispensation of His gospel, said: "The standard of truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished. <br />

Elder D. Todd Christofferson, an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, spoke in our last General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, about our Father in Heaven's great plan of redemption.<br />
He gave an example of redemption by reviewing with us the great need of laborers in North America during colonial times. Many who were willing to go to the new world couldn't afford the cost of travel. Therefore, many of them traveled under an indenture or contract, promising to work after arriving for a period of time without wages as payment for their passage. The term used to describe these indentured immigrants was "redemptioners." They had to redeem the cost of their passage - in a sense, purchase their freedom, by their labor.<br />
In our institute class we discussed the redemption. Among the most significant of Jesus Christ's descriptive titles is Redeemer. We are indentured to the Lord, and relying on Him to pay our fare to freedom. What do we as Latter-Day Saints believe about having to <u>work</u> to gain spiritual freedom? We believe that "faith without works is dead" (James 2:18-19). <strong>Our works don't actually pay a debt, they show our appreciation for His payment,</strong> <strong>and our greatest service to others in this life is to bring them to Christ through faith and repentance.</strong> How great is our calling as members and missionaries to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, that we all may feel His redeeming love.<br />

Clayton Christensen, a well-known Latter-Day Saint author and Harvard professor, came to our area to speak at a fireside about member-missionary work, with ideas taken from his book <u>The Power of Everyday Missionaries</u>. While here, he spoke to community and education leaders at a luncheon at Dalhousie University. At the fireside, he said he and his wife called themselves as missionaries, then set out to show how everyday members can share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others and share the spirit with friends and family. "Every time you take someone by the hand and introduce him or her to Jesus Christ," writes Clayton, "you will feel how deeply our Savior loves you and loves the person whose hand is in yours." He said we must set a date, not an individual, trust God to help us, and ask. All we must do is invite, and let the Lord and the missionaries take over from there.</div>

Our son and his wife, Nate and Marcie, visited with us for a week in June. We had the opportunity to share them with Sister T's family, as well to see the sights of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island (Anne of Green Gables was Marcie's favorite). It was really great to have them here - again. They drove out with us a year ago when we first came to the mission. There is more of them and their visit in our previous blog entry (June 25).<br />

This is Sister Ott with her Mom and Dad. She was on her way home, having completed 18 months in the Maritimes. We love her and have fed her a number of times, and her parents were so gracious to thank us and take us to dinner. They are very nice people and we can see why Sis. Ott is the way she is. We miss her already.</div>

Brother Fielden spoke to us about the growth of the church in the Maritimes. He was baptized way back in the 1950s, and is one of the most wonderful men we will ever know. He and his wife attend the temple everyday it's open, sometimes two or three times a day. He was Halifax Branch President when Elder Tiffany was a missionary here, Nova Scotia District President when we lived here in the 1970s, then a Patriarch and temple sealer.</div>

Our mission president told us to enjoy our family when they come to visit. Our CES Coordinator, Rick Cartier, told us to do the same, especially since there are no seminary or institute classes in session for the summer. So we did enjoy their visit, a lot at the beaches and all the way from Liverpool, Nova Scotia, to Cavendish, Prince Edward Island (Anne of Green Gables territory). We had beautiful weather almost every day while they were here. It rained for almost two weeks before they arrived and has rained since they left. The same happened when Nate and Marcie were here. Maybe we should keep some of our visitors in Nova Scotia.<br />

On this past Sunday evening there was a broadcast concerning our missionary efforts throughout the world. God is definitely hastening His work and giving new revelation about how to reach all of His children with His pleasing word. Basically, the plan is to Pray, Look, Speak, and Invite, and it is the members of the church who should be doing that. It was a very inspiring meeting.<br />
<br />
Much of last week was spent traveling some of the mission. Whenever we're traveling we try to make contact with priesthood leaders, CES teachers, and missionaries. It is part of our assignment to be there for whomever we can give a boost to. All other senior missionaries are assigned to a specific area, whereas we're assigned to the entire mission, under the direction of our CES Coordinator, Rick Cartier, and our mission president, President Leavitt.<br />

Our son and his wife, Nathan and Marcie, came to visit us last week. What a pleasure that was to have them here - again! They drove out with us last summer at this same time, as we began our missionary assignment.<br />

The day Nate and Marcie arrived, Albert, Sister T's brother, had surgery to remove cancerous tissue from his liver. I was asked to give him a blessing by the power of the priesthood. This picture was taken the next morning, and he went home that afternoon. How great is our calling!<br />

After we left the hospital, we went to the Halifax Harbor Boardwalk. It was just a little cool that morning, but we welcomed the sunshine we hadn't seen for a couple of weeks. These two must have brought it with them from the west.<br />

We took a couple of days to go to Prince Edward Island. Marcie prepped for this part of her trip by viewing and reading as much of "Anne of Green Gables" as she could. This shot was taken on the ferryboat ride to the island. While crossing, we watched fishermen coming in with their boats laden with lobster. We also saw a couple of pods of Dolphins, but didn't get pictures of them.<br />

These are "lupines", mixed with "lilies of the valley." These grow wild and abundantly around the Maritimes and, mixed with the many shades of green countryside, are another example of God's artwork at it's best.<br />

While traveling around the mission we have the opportunity to visit with other missionaries, old and young. While in P.E.I., we stayed overnight with Elder and Sister Tibbits and had a chance to converse about what was going on missionary-wise in their area. It helps to have these visits so we can return to our own area with some new, fresh ideas to push the work forward.<br />

Elder and Sister Tiffany and Marcie at Anne's home. To our left was "Lover's Lane," and to our right was the "Haunted Woods." While here we met a couple of families from Utah. Their son/daughter were married in the Halifax Temple, and it was good to talk to them of their spiritual experiences there.<br />
<br />
We always carry "pass along" cards to hand out to the non-members we meet and introduce ourselves as missionaries (always with our name tag showing). The card has web sites they can go to to learn more about the Church. It's actually quite fun to introduce the church to them.<br />

Returning home from P.E.I., we crossed Confederation Bridge. This connection to the mainland is eight miles long and is the longest bridge over ice covered water in the world. It is high enough in the middle that ships can go under it.<br />

This is a Pilot boat returning from a ship coming into harbor. When large vessels enter or leave the Halifax Harbor, they must have a local "pilot" steer or guide the boat. The ship's captain or crew may not. This boat takes and retrieves the pilots. The same rule applies to all large harbors.<br />

Not all of our time is spent traveling, though there are a lot of teachers we like to spend time with around the mission. Here, at the temple, we have an opportunity to spend a couple of hours with missionaries preparing to leave for home. As missionaries are released to return home, the mission president takes them to the temple then to the mission home for a dinner and testimony meeting. Elder Baskin (next to Sister Tiffany) and Sister Ott went home last week. Elders Nzojibwamie and Clarke, the Assistants to the President, joined us.<br />

It was a very nice evening spent with Sister T's family. They seem to have overcome their apprehensions and false ideas about our church and our voluntary service as missionaries while we have been here. We try to share our testimonies as often as we can about the church and the things we believe, and they are more receptive than ever.<br />

On Saturday afternoon we attended a devotional for all temple workers. A spiritual feast, after which we mingled among the snack trays. Serving in the temple is a spiritual boost for us on a weekly basis. Everyone is very loving and kind, and their testimonies of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the need for the work performed in the temple for our eternal salvation is inspiring.<br />

As we mentioned, we do travel around the mission a lot, but it is part of our assignment, and we are constantly in the missionary mode and meet with the missionaries as often as possible - the young to get a boost of enthusiasm, and the seniors to get more ideas of how we can improve our own service, even though we are the only CES couple in the mission. Whatever we can learn from others, we try to put into our own area of service. And of course, we meet with the teachers and priesthood leaders, if possible, to teach and learn.Sister and Elder Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15674397138533628685noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094496701850862672.post-83126741701630226322013-06-18T19:49:00.000-03:002013-06-18T19:49:19.089-03:00<br />

In our Heavenly Father's church, children are given an opportunity to be taught and to teach others from the scriptures. Jesus showed the way, as a twelve-year-old, in teaching in the temple. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints there is a program for children called Primary. Young people, ages 3 to 11, are taught from the scriptures and are given opportunity to teach their peers, through talks, thoughts, and music.</div>

Yes. Have the Baptists, Methodists, etc., any truth? Yes. ...We should gather all the good and true principles in the world and treasure them up. We don't ask any people to throw away any good they have...; we only ask them to come and get more. What if all the world should embrace this gospel? They would then see eye to eye, and the blessings of God would be poured out upon the people, which is the desire of my whole soul."</div>

Because one of the assignments of Elder Tiffany as a counselor in the Branch Presidency is the missionary activities of the branch, he automatically assumes that position also, at least until another young single adult is called to fill that position. Our Branch President, Richard Moses, is on fire with the missionary zeal. He is looking for "real growth" in the branch; that is a <strong>convert</strong> to the church, and not just a baptism. Our branch missionaries are very enthusiastic about their callings and make it easy for "real growth" to happen. We recognize that part of our calling as full-time missionaries assigned to the YSA Branch, is to set the example and teach these youth how important it is to show love and fellowship to everyone. Sister Tiffany is loved very dearly by the youth and they are very willing to follow her example. She is definitely a "people person," and loves and fellowships everyone she comes in contact with. She's like a magnet to others, in a very loving and friendly way. <strong>How great is our calling!</strong></div>

Sister Drew (left) and Sister Echols (right) are assigned to the YSA Branch and both arrived in the mission at the ripe old age of 19. Sisters Lee and Ott share an apartment with them, but are assigned to the Halifax family ward. We have these fine young ladies in for dinner as often as possible. Sisters Drew and Lee have amazing singing talents and are often on the road on weekends to other areas to sing in firesides and Sacrament Meetings. Sister Echols plays the violin and Sister Ott plays the piano.</div>

Our sunsets may not be as spectacular as those of the South Pacific, but, hey, we're on the east coast of Canada, and we think they're beautiful. These were taken recently from our apartment window. Elder Tiff is still not convinced of the directions here. He's sure these sunsets are in the east and Canada is just turned around from the rest of the world</div>

Welcome to Centreville (Nova Scotia, that is). We had to get a picture of this for our friends in Utah. Along the Bay of Fundy, there is an area of Nova Scotia called "the valley." It is a beautiful area with a lot of French settlements and many apple orchards and farming. Centreville, not one of the French villages, is in the valley. We went to visit the sister missionaries who are new in the area to check out their apartment and see if they had everything they needed. They didn't, and were happy we were there to see what was left wanting new apartment-wise.<br />

Dave Oickle, our nephew from Liverpool, Nova Scotia, came to dinner at our apartment, with Nat, Norah (she doesn't like her picture taken and is hiding behind Nat), and Keegan. Dave is a Fisheries Warden who patrols along the shores, checking for illegal moves by the fishermen, and was in town with family to attend a training seminar. We love having family visit us. It gives us a chance to enjoy their company that we otherwise wouldn't have. We hope we're good examples to them.<br />
<br />
Last week we spent most of our time in service to others. Actually, Sister Tiffany did most of the work. We spent one day at Sis. Roberts, washing walls and woodwork in her sunroom. On Sunday we had Sam and Katie to dinner, Monday was dinner for the lady missionaries, Tuesday was dinner with Dave and Nat, Wednesday was dinner with the Elders and Andrew, Thursday was our temple assignment, and Friday we took the day off and went to dinner at Bro. and Sis. Learmont's, some members of the Halifax Ward. All of the great meals were cooked by Sister T, of course.<br />

This is what we see in the spring - middle of May, temperatures in the 40s and low 50s F. A few trees are starting to get some green color and the tulips are just starting to bloom. Before we left for our mission Elder Tiff told many the weather in Canada is 9 months of winter and 3 months of bad dog-sledding. It's not quite that bad, but it does try to hang on to lower temperatures as long as possible (Sister Tiffany is loving it!).<br />

Last week we attended the funeral services of Brother Edgar Richards of Bridgewater. His widow is Gloria Tustian Hirtle Richards, whom we've known since the late 1960s. ET was her home teacher when her first husband David was killed in a tractor accident in 1973. The funeral was very nice. We mourn with her in her loss.</div>

Over this past weekend we journeyed to Maine and New Brunswick again. The trip was part of a missionary fireside that travels around the mission performing musical numbers and testimonies in the wards and branches. Caribou, Maine, probably has the largest ward membership in the mission, and while there we had the opportunity to meet with the seminary teachers again, and we stayed again with Sister Holst, our very gracious hostess of our March visit also.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This trip was with Pres. Leavitt, our mission president. It was a very enjoyable journey and we reaffirm that Pres. Leavitt is definitely an inspired leader, with a great sense of humor and very knowledgeable in spiritual and secular matters. We really enjoyed the fifteen+ hours we spent in the car with him.</div>

We were at our apartment for a whole day before we traveled to the eastern tip of Nova Scotia with our CES coordinator, Rick Cartier. It takes as long to drive to Sydney, Nova Scotia, as it does to Caribou, Maine - 5-6 hours. Rick is very knowledgeable in the scriptures and well-versed in church doctrine. He is the same age as our son Joshua, and has the same sense of humor, so he made our travel time seem shorter. There are some major changes coming in Canada for home-study seminary, and we met with branch leaders and teachers to discuss these changes. It was a profitable and enjoyable trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During oour travels we had the opportunity to see much of Nova Scotia's beautiful scenery, and to visit some people and places that are very memorable.</div>

This was a bed and breakfast where we stayed in Sydney. This home, called "The Gathering Place," was built about 1810, and very beautifully decorated in antiques. The owners are former Royal Canadian Mounted Policemen, and knew Sis. T's brother Milford, who was also a Mountie, from many years ago.<br />

The northeastern shore of Nova Scotia has a very scenic route called the Cabot Trail, perhaps named after the explorer John Cabot. It reaches the highest elevations of the province (800 - 1,000 feet above sea-level). That's not real high compared to Utah and Alberta, but it is every bit as beautiful and grand.</div>

Our time is well spent, with a lot of interaction with members of the church, as well as with the general public. We have some very spiritual moments with many, and are very grateful we can be here at this time doing what we are doing. Missionary service as a senior couple is very rewarding. We miss our children, grandchildren, families, and friends a lot, but we're more than rewarded for our time and efforts here. Heavenly Father takes better care of everyone we've left behind for this short time much better than we can. And we thank Him continually.</div>

It has been a relatively quiet week, but a busy one, nonetheless. Sometimes, on Sunday, we look ahead at our week and see only a few things actually on the calendar, then at the end of the week, we look back and wonder how all the activities and events we actually were involved in were packed into such a short time-frame. We get to spend a lot of time with the young missionaries, but we don't get a lot of pictures of them because we seem to be hurrying to wherever we're going to and from. Sometimes we see family and old friends, and we do get in a lot of ambassador work, sharing the gospel with whomever we come in contact with - by word as well as by example.</div>

We did manage to get a picture of two very good friends. Sister Brenda Earl is from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. She married Elder Steve Earl from Logan, Utah. Elder Earl was a missionary here when we lived in Mahone Bay, and they live in Hyrum, Utah. They just returned from a mission in Kentucky/Tennessee. With her and Sister Tiffany is Bro. Stan Hodder, Brenda's father, whom she was visiting and who lives in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. He is one of the kindest gentleman we know.</div>

Every six weeks the mission has "transfer week." This is also the week the new missionaries usually arrive from the MTC. During that week President Leavitt interviews, trains, orients, then assigns the new missionaries to their areas and companions. Most of the connections are made at a luncheon for them, then they head to their assignments. Above, at the luncheon, is Pres. Leavitt with "seasoned" Elders Steed, Bullock, and Wolsey. Elders Steed and Wolsey are on their way to Newfoundland.</div>

A group of missionaries at the mission home transfer luncheon. These luncheons are often reunions for some missionaries who have served together then sent to opposite ends of the mission. It's a long way from upper Maine to the top of Newfoundland. We learned this week that the Canada Halifax Mission is the geographically largest mission in the world, taking in all of Atlantic Canada and Labrador (though we don't have missionaries currently serving in Labrador).</div>

On this particular day we had the privilege of attending a special temple session with the missionaries. We were honored to be the officiators of that session.</div>

On Saturday of this past week we had the opportunity to go to the temple with Amanda Smith, to receive her temple endowments. Amanda is a young lady in our YSA Branch, preparing to be married in a couple of weeks - one of our four couples tying the knot this year (so far). While there, we met Elder and Sister Hendrickson, of West Valley City, Utah. They just arrived in the mission a week ago, and are assigned to Fredericton, New Brunswick. They were attending the temple with a bus load of members from New Brunswick and Maine.</div>

You have to speak Canadian to pronounce some of them correctly, ay. Once you've got them, they will stick with you, ay. Pictured at the left is what you see as you enter the Shubie Park, an area preserved as the Shubenacadie Canal. 4,000 years ago the Mi'kmaq Indians used this waterway, then in 1794 the governor of the province decided to make it a canal for economic purposes. This canal stretches from the Atlantic Ocean at Halifax, to the Bay of Fundy. It's construction began in 1826, with nine locks and two inclined planes to move boats through, and was used only fourteen years. It isn't functional anymore, as it was replaced by railroad about 1861.<br />

This is Elder Steed, one of our favorites, with Andrew Lacey (with the Savior approving), right before Andrew was baptized. Andrew was taught the gospel in Bridgewater then moved to Halifax. He is a very nice young man who has had a really hard family life. He loves the gospel and sees it as the most positive thing that has happened to him in his life. We've had a chance to spend some time with him, in meetings as well as giving him rides to church and activities. </div>

She's visiting with a Brother and Sister we work with sometimes at the temple. We normally work different nights at the temple, so we don't remember their name. We will find out, though. They're both from England and a very nice couple.<br />

Elder Torrie (middle) and Elder Lybbert and the bishop's counselor munched through small bowls of 12 or 13 different chili's - tough job, but someone had to do it!<br />

This was our home in Mahone Bay when we lived in Nova Scotia, 1972-1975. It is up for sale again, but we'll pass it up this time. Many fond memories were made here. Even our daughter, Kirsten, was born when we lived here. Her nursery was at the back window, top floor.</div>

Wilbur is 90 years old, and Jean is close behind. Don't they look like a loving couple of grandparents?!<br />

He talked about how we can become more like the Savior as we become more like the prophets God has placed on earth to guide us. The Lord gives us patterns to follow, the Savior being the best pattern, then His prophets. He used Pres. Thomas S. Monson as his example, with his life of service, love for others, and desire to be among the saints. He testified that Jesus Christ is the head of this church, and has placed prophets here to guide us back to His presence. We don't need to be an apostle to live and act like one. He concluded with a list of five things to put into our lives: 1- Be positive and happy; 2- Be kind and loving towards children; 3- Follow the promptings of the Spirit; 4- Love the temple - touch the temple then let the temple touch us; and 5- Be kind, considerate, and encouraging. We testify that our loving Heavenly Father won't leave us without someone to guide us, that's why He has placed living prophets on the earth in our day. We need their direction as much, and probably more, as His children of ancient times.</div>

We mentioned last week that we had taken a trip to Liverpool to visit family then to Bridgewater to inspect the missionaries apartment and car. We took Sister T's brother Milford with us. That's the first time we've been able to get him to go with us to visit his siblings. He's very quiet and somewhat shy, so he hasn't been to visit for quite some time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On our return to Halifax, we stopped in Bridgewater to inspect the missionaries living quarters and auto. The missionaries have a very nice little cottage on the farm of Bro. Brian And Sis. Irene Hirtle. The living area and car were clean and everything looked very good, so we rewarded them with some cookies. They were happy for that and promised to keep it up.</div>

On Wednesday, Sister T began a service project she volunteered for - baking 200 rolls for the wedding reception of Heidi Lane and Chris Largesse. They are two of our favorites from the YSA Branch, and we wanted to be of as much help as possible. The wedding was on Friday at the Halifax Temple, with the reception that evening. They are students on a very small budget, but everything about the wedding and reception was very well done and everyone was very pleased. They loved the rolls made by Sister T! </div>

Since arriving in the Canada Halifax Mission, we have been visited and trained by at least a half-dozen General Authorities of the Church. In the last week we've had the privilege of visits by two members of the First Quorum of 70, and an Area Authority 70. Following the teachings of the Bible, these men are traveling the world, preaching and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is so great to be tutored by men who have been sent by the Savior to share His gospel.</div>

During his visit and tour of the mission, Elder Walker presided in our Zone Conference last Thursday. We listened to both Elder and Sister Walker, and of course Pres. Leavitt, our mission president. A couple of points to share were: "When we finally find out who we are, we'll be sorry we didn't try harder." (Sis. Walker). </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Using the scriptures, Elder Walker said we must search for the truth, pray always, and be believing. Comparing Laman and Lemuel with Nephi and Sam - he said our attitude makes all the difference. If the weather gets you down think of it as always good! (good and hot, good and cold, good and humid, etc.) He also said, "If you're almost obedient, you'll almost get the blessings." He emphasized this with Doctrine and Covenants 39 and 40 - James Covill was taught by Joseph Smith, he accepted the gospel, then rejected it, and lost many blessings.</div>

Johnson, of the First Quorum of the 70, plus Elder Grant Bennett, our Area Authority 70. Saturday was the usual leadership training meeting, then the evening session of conference. Sunday brought us the main session of conference, then a short meeting afterward for seminary students, parents, and teachers. Elder Johnson is Church Commissioner of Education (CES), so we were particularly excited to have him here, since CES is our assignment. We're sorry we didn't get a picture of his lovely wife nor Elder Bennett.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Elder Bennett is from Boston, and told us about his experiences with the building of the Boston Temple, and with Mitt Romney as his Bishop and Stake President. He mentioned that international news reporters were impressed to tell him that the church is a lifelong training ground for leadership. He also said a Unitarian Minister visited an early morning seminary class and mentioned that we not only teach the gospel of Christ, but that we also teach how to apply the gospel to our lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Elder Johnson was also very inspiring to listen to. He spent time in Saturday's meeting to discuss "real growth" in the church - being converted and not just baptized. Then on Sunday he emphasized Temple and Family History. "What can we learn from our ancestors? If we could talk to our grandchildren of 3 or 4 generations from now, what would we like to tell them or teach them? We must preserve meaningful things in our lives for our descendants. We can make a difference to future generations." He ended his talk by talking about the courage of various heroes through the ages, but the most courageous had to be the Savior - knowing what He was facing all His life, especially going into the Garden of Gethsemane and then to the cross. That was the greatest show of courage in the history of the world, deserving much more than the Congressional Medal of Honor, as prestigious as that award is! Needless to say, it was a week of great spiritual rejuvenation!</div>

We finished off Sunday evening with a dinner for the senior missionaries at the mission home. Sunday was Sister Leavitt's birthday, and the previous Sunday was Pres. Leavitt's birthday. Because they were both in town at the same time, we decided to celebrate with them. It was a potluck dinner with lots of great food, including Sister Tiff's famous fish chowder and rolls. After dinner we gave the Leavitt's each a bag of gag gifts for "over the hill" people. It was very enjoyable and great to get together again.<br />

On Monday we took the four sister missionaries to Peggy's Cove. This is probably the most photographed place in Atlantic Canada. The weather was perfect - 62 degrees, slight breeze, sun shining, blue skies, waves crashing on the shore.

Sister and Elder Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15674397138533628685noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094496701850862672.post-85402655009328452302013-04-23T17:07:00.001-03:002013-04-24T08:55:57.863-03:00<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the past week we had the opportunity to visit an early-morning seminary class in Berwick, Nova Scotia. Berwick is a very small settlement about 80 miles from Halifax, in an area called "the valley." Brother Doug and Sister Sue Williams hosted us in their home overnight so we wouldn't have to get up at 4 a.m., to make the drive there. Usually Sis. Williams has four young students every weekday morning come into her home at 6:20 a.m., for instruction from the New Testament. She is a great teacher and a wonderful hostess. Doug is a very hard worker and spiritual leader, who also happens to be a very talented handy-man.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the morning we were there, she invited Elder Tiffany to take part in teaching a lesson from Ephesians 1-2, written by the Apostle Paul. He chose "agency," perhaps the greatest gift God has given to His children. This is an eternal gift that He will never take from us. The prophets have always taught that we have a choice in everything we do, and that we must live with the consequences of our choices - good or bad. As we read in the Gospels of the Savior's sacrifice in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the Cross of Calvary, even He had a choice to make in those agonizing moments. We might never be able to fully thank Him for the choices He made, but we can try by being obedient to His commandments and trying to become like Him in our words, thoughts, and actions.</div>

This church is found at Grand Pre, where the French-speaking Acadians lived, beginning in 1604, before they were forced out of the country by the British in 1755, because they would not take allegiance to the British against the French. Most of the Acadians went to Louisiana. Many of them inter-married with the African-Americans and Native Americans, and we know their descendants as the Cajuns. </div>

In 1845, Longfellow wrote a poem about her: "Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie." It was taken from a tale about her being separated from her husband on their wedding day when he was deported. It was told she wandered for years, trying to find her fiance'.</div>

While we were in "the valley," we inspected missionaries apartments.

Elder Jensen (Alberta) and Elder Fisher (Saskatchewan) are serving in Annapolis Royal. They also had spic-and-span living quarters. We assisted them in their missionary efforts by giving them a referral of a restaurant owner from Germany who lives in their town. We had just met Heidi at lunch, and she was full of questions. Oh, yes, they got some home-made cookies, also. We also inspected the zone leader's apartment in Kentville, but forgot to get a picture of Elders Sloan and Evanson. And they got cookies too, because we love them.</div>

On Friday and Saturday, we had a seminary activity with kids from all over Nova Scotia. Friday evening was a fireside with some devotional speakers and music. Then we stayed at the mission home to be with Sis. Leavitt while she was recovering from having her gall-bladder removed while her husband (Pres. Leavitt) was in Washington, D.C., for mission president's training. We had 13 young people and chaperones staying with us. Saturday morning Elder Tiff showed up at the stake center at 7 a.m., to help prepare breakfast for about 150 people, while Sister Tiffany stayed with Sis. Leavitt. Tamara and JJ (Mila's mom) were the head cheftesses (?). We've been friends with both their families for many years. Notice the Winder Dairy apron from West Valley City, Utah.</div>

Having this opportunity to visit Sister Tiff's family has been one of the tender mercies of the Lord in sending us to Nova Scotia as missionaries. Considering the distance from Utah to eastern Canada, and the ages of these old folks, who knows how much more we'll get to see them. As I mentioned in a previous post, this is a very rare occurrence to be able to spend time with family while away from home on a mission. And they have become very supportive of our service to the Lord. We love them! </div>

A loving Heavenly Father has plotted our course and provided an unfailing guide—even obedience.

In our own day there are watchmen set to give us warnings of impending danger from our greatest enemy, even Satan and his angels. Last week those watchmen sounded the trumpet once again. Did we hear? Were we listening? Our call to the world is to listen to the watchmen, to be obedient to their calls from our Father in Heaven, so that we're not overrun by evil and temptations. We pray that all may listen intently and sincerely to their messages of love and sincere desires to help us be obedient to the commandments of God.</div>

Elder Gibbs is one of our favorites. We've known him since his first day in the mission, last summer, and he attended our institute classes in Bridgewater last fall. He's now in the Halifax North area where we live, and is a great young man. Here he is with Dan Pringle. I didn't get a picture of them in their baptismal clothes, but Dan is the newest member of the Church and the YSA Branch.</div>

Sauesi was home from Alberta oilfields for about five days, Andrea came straight from the hospital to the church for the blessing. Don't they look great!</div>

While we were in Liverpool to visit the seminary class, we decided to spend the day with family. This a luxury that missionaries rarely have. It is missionary work, however, because none of Sister T's family belong to the church, but have become very supportive of us and the work we're engaged in. Here we have everyone trying to make a choice for lunch at White Point Lodge. Nat, our niece-in-law, is taking advantage of the photo shoot. </div>

Last night (4/14) we participated in a musical fireside in Truro with some missionaries from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. It was very entertaining and a spiritual feast. It was identical to the Easter fireside we did at the stake center in Dartmouth, with instrumental and vocal solo numbers by the younger missionaries, combined with testimonies of the divinity of the Savior and his love for us.</div>

As you can see, our missionary assignments take us a lot of places, doing a lot of things that not every missionary couple gets to do. We were given an opportunity to change our assignment, at one point earlier in our mission, but we chose to continue in the calling given us by the prophet, and we don't regret it. Heavenly Father blesses us continually, and we pray constantly that we may be sharp instruments in His hands to accomplish what He has sent us here to do. We believe the end of our mission here will be a bittersweet moment - leaving one family to go home to another. But we knew that would be our lot when we received our call to this mission, and we gladly accepted the challenge.</div>

"And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and he sweat as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground."

"Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."

The Easter celebration should call to our minds the line we hear so often at Christmas: "Remember the reason for the season!" The resurrection of our Savior has been called the greatest thing that has happened for mankind in the history of the world. We now have an everlasting life, going on beyond the grave, not just this life only and that's it! Let us move beyond the bunnies and colored eggs and candy, and give thanks for the mission and sacrifice of our Savior Jesus Christ.</div>

We enjoyed our first burger in about 6 months, and poutine - a favorite dish in the Canada Maritimes of fries, cheese curds, and gravy. Sounds gross? NOT AT ALL!! Very yummy!!</div>

These young men are our Assistants to the President of the mission - Elder Baskin and Elder Morin. Elder Baskin, from Kaysville, Utah, served with us previously and Elder Morin is from Quebec, French speaking, and new to our area, but both are fantastic missionaries and loved by everyone!</div>

We had a great opportunity to serve at the temple twice for both of the last two weeks. We were there for our usual service on this last Thursday evening, then back on Friday early morning until noon. Because it was Good Friday, there were extra services throughout the day, with filled-to- capacity rooms in all areas of the temple all day long. Canadians take their holidays very seriously, with almost every business closed on those days - even Walmart. There were no cars in any store parking lot all that day! It's the same for all of the major holidays. You have to plan for it, but it's very refreshing to see them give their workers a day off.</div>

Last week I said there would be more pictures of our activities and travels, especially since we were going to Maine to visit some early-morning classes, and maybe do a little in-service training. When we got about 40 miles from home, we realized that we didn't have our camera. Needless to say, we were very disappointed, but we continued our journey.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our first stop was in Amherst, Nova Scotia, very close to the New Brunswick border, to visit some very good friends, Elder and Sister Steffen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They went through the missionary training center (MTC) with the other Elder and Sister Tiffany (Elder T's brother and sister-in-law), and they will be going home next month. While there, we had lunch, visited with the younger missionaries, and the Steffen's loaned us one of their cameras for our trip.</div>

This is Elder and Sister Steffen from Fruit Heights, Utah. We originally met them in Cornerbrook, Newfoundland, when we were here only two weeks. They go home next month. He's Branch President in Amherst, and ready for a rest at home in Utah.</div>

We had lunch with the Steffens, and while we were there the younger missionaries stopped by - just in time to eat. Elder Jensen (in the back) was a brand new missionary we worked with earlier in Halifax, and Elder Hawkes (in red) is a very friendly and loving missionary who was sent here to work in the Mandarin Chinese area (we didn't even know there were enough of that culture here to send a missionary).</div>

Sister Holst has got to be one of the most loving and likable hostesses ever! Not knowing us from Adam and Eve, when we arrived at her door, we introduced ourselves and she said bring in your bags and make yourselves at home. We stayed with her for four days and she was like a long, lost friend. Sis. Holst (Jacque) teaches early morning seminary (6:30 a.m.) every weekday, then feeds her students breakfast. She is an excellent teacher, with a wonderful testimony and spirit. Her husband passed away last year with Alzheimer's, and she has one daughter and 14 grandchildren, who live near her.</div>

This past week was by no means a vacation for us, as we were up very early every morning, doing a lot of driving, and sleeping in someone else's bed. It certainly was enjoyable, but somewhat of a challenge. Visiting each early morning class was a spiritual treat, though, as well as gaining new friends. Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not always an easy thing, but it is ALWAYS worth it. The people we serve and serve with, are living the Lord's commandments the best way they know how, and are continually seeking ways to improve. The teachers are great examples to their students of what the Savior has taught and continues to teach through His living Prophets and Apostles.</div>

Because we're assigned to the Young Single Adult Branch, we see that the younger missionaries don't get a lot of dinner invitations, so Sister T has decided to do whatever we can to make up for it. And we love it!<br />

While we were in Bridgewater to do a class observation this week, we visited our good friends, the Davisons, and Anna showed off a quilt she made which will go into a Canadian national show of some sort. (Sorry I cut off the top of her head to get in the quilt.) There's some very intricate detail here that takes a lot of time and talent. Congrats to Anna.</div>

A shot of one of those freight container ships heading out to sea from the Halifax harbor. These ships are HUGE, and with all the weight they carry in these containers, we wonder how they stay afloat! A lot like the great big airplanes carrying a lot of cargo or military machinery - how do they get into the air then stay there?</div>

It doesn't appear that we've done much this week, but we have, just didn't get a lot of pictures to show off our busy schedule: teacher's inservice, institute classes, temple service, fellowshipping and teaching appointments with the young missionaries. And, let's not forget Sister Tiff's Primary class and Elder Tiff's Branch Presidency duties. We also had a young and struggling couple into our apartment for dinner one evening this week. It has been a very busy and fulfilling week of service, and we love it.</div>
