Changes

Wow I feel like this week is going to be a sign of how fast the weeks are going to be flying by the rest of my mission. Maybe even speed up. This week was crazy we did tons of running from lesson to lesson. We met together as 3 zones this week to prepare for the upcoming changes in our mission. We are now allowed to eat with member and our 2 hours of solid finding time as a mission has now been changed to all the time. President Burt has such a great vision for the mission. He wants the members to get more involved. Its great!
    This week we went out to lunch with a member ans she was passing out mormon.org cards like candy. Then we were meeting up with Heidi (recent convert) and she just came running up to us so excited because she has talked to a man about the gospel and he gave her his number to give to the missionaries! we were so excited. Our YSA members are just so missionary minded I love it!!!

   This week we went and had dinner with one of our investigators moms. Sister Mathialagan made her butter chicken. It was amazing. We are also teaching tons of people from China. It was totally meant to be that I lived there before my mission. I tell all these Chinese people this all the time and they just fall in love with me. Also Dad you would be so proud of me. I have been using my super crappy arabic skills to talk to all of my Arabian men. They fall in love with me too....haha I had one woman tell me that I could marry her Arabian son. I told her I was dating someone.... sometimes its okay to fib...

Yesterday on Sunday Sister Mathialagan told me it was her time to dress me up Indian style for church. My companion is so darn cute. I just love being a missionary!!!

I love you all!

Choose the right!

Blast from the past!

This week has been wonderful. We started this week of with me going on an exchange with a girl that I grew up with and is from my own home stake. It was wonderful being on exchange with sister Danielle Mathis. 

It was like taking a walk down memory lane. We just kept talking about home and people we know. It was the best. It was like being a missionary with my best friend.

   Then later in the week Sister Mathialagan had Heidi (recent convert) went with us for her weekly day out with us. We took her down town as usual and of course it was just pouring rain on us so we were soaked! But of course Vancouver weather is just as bi-polar as utah so then it was all sunny after 2 hours. Funny Story though: It was dinner time and we were walking down by the ocean taking pictures and sister Mathialagan was like "Oh, I want to go climb on that rock that in the water its only a little deep but I have rain boots on, Ill be fine" So she climbs out there and all the sudden these huge waves come crashing through out of no where! It was so funny sister Mathialagan is just running around and lifting up her skirt screaming trying to get out of the water fast. But her rain boots filled with water and she couldn't run! haha Classic moments with sister Mathialagan.

   This week was just crazy busy running all over the place. But I love it here so much we are still teaching some amazing people. So many people from China. Its such a blessing I lived there.

Well Everyone choose the right!

Sister Spring Fawcett

This week was such a wonderful week of miracles :) We had Sister Spring Fawcett with us this entire week. This week was hands down one of the most tiring most spirit filled weeks of my entire mission. It was amazing to see her testimony grow and also to see how far mine has come. I was just taking all of what I had learned on my mission for granted. So I just wanted to take a second to share my testimony with all of you.

The Book of Mormon is true! Joseph Smith is a prophet from God and it was only though him we could have a real and tangible record of the Book of Mormon. Thomas S Monson is a Prophet of God and is here to lead us and guide us in these days. But it is up to us to make the jump in our own lives and let the spirit work through us to help us learn and grow. Jesus Christ Came to this earth to be able to be the ultimate example for all of us as children of God. God is our loving Heavenly Father He loves us more then words can even explain.

I say all these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

I love all of you so much! I am so blessed to be serving a mission. Choose the right and never lose faith.

Love 

Sister Emmaline Neubert

Victoria

This week was one of the best weeks of my entire mission! It was from one thing to another! To start the week off we went on a wonderful tandem bike ride around Stanly park in Vancouver. It was so fun because Sister Mathialagan had never really been on a bike before. It was so beautiful! Its just just such a miracle that I am able to do these things while being a missionary! I love it!
   The following day (Tuesday) we had a wonderful baptism with the beautiful Susan. She was found 2 weeks ago by the Elders in our branch and she was just so ready to be baptized. She already lived all the commandments! She was such a prepared miracle. We brought her to one activity and boom! the branch fell in love with her and they were all best friends! 

   Then Sister Mathialagan and I had the wonderful opportunity to spend 3 days on Vancouver Island in Victoria and Sooke for the provincial wide girls camp. When we first arrived the sisters driving us had no idea where to go. Somehow I was able to guide us through Victoria.... Its probably because I went there when I was 8. Talk about an amazing memory!

   Girls camp was so amazing! I was able to meet with a group of young women and share "how to be converted in Christ" it was such an amazing experience. They had so many good questions. Most of them had to deal with modesty. It made me so sad to think that that was such a problem. (So Sophie cover up and be modest!) But while I was there I had the chance to see all of my lovely Vanderhoof Young Women! 

They are such amazing girls! I was just so happy to hear from all of them!

   We finished the week off with a wonderful fireside in the Vancouver YSA with guest speaker john Beck that plays for the BC Lion. He just talked about finding peace in the chaos. Oh how that applies to missionary work! 

   This week was amazing and I got to see so many different things and I love being a missionary! Choose the right!

From sea to shining sea

Hello dearest Family and friends,

This week has been wonderful so much has happened. but i guess I say that every week. For starters we had my recent convert Heidi come out on a lovely mini mission with us. She is just so great. She just totally understands the gospel! She just loves talking to everyone and sharing her faith. I just love that girl so much! Another thing that is great about her is that she's not scared of the masses of people. So we took her downtown allllll day! We even stopped by the beach for a second and I dipped my toe in! :)

Little mermaid lyfe!

   We had such a great week with one of my favorite investigators emily. She is such a doll. She reminds me so much of Madi. But she is just jumping right through the Book of Mormon. She is learning and growing so much! She even understood Jacob chapter 5. We were like whaaaaaatttt?! awesome!

   We also had the chance to take an investigator to the baptim of an 82 year old man named Bernie. It was the cutest thing I had ever seen! The elder that baptized him had to slowly bring him down into the font. When the baptism was over Bernie went over to him recent convert daughter and said "we did it" my heart just melted!

   Well I hope everyone has a wonderful week this week!!! love you all!

Eating curry after district meeting! Yum! 

Had to! 

Elders boxed our car in.

What a week!

Such a crazy week this week. To start things off  we had a wonderful time at the Burnaby museum. Its the cutest place that's based all back in the 1920's and they had everyone in costumes and pin wheels and its just so darn adorable. We had a funny experience happen while we were there. They had a cute little barber shop quartet playing and we wanted to go listen SO bad. So we decided that we would go listen but if the music is talking about love then we have to leave. So we walk over and the first thing they do is announce is that this song is a love song. But then they followed up with that its an old MORMON pioneer song called "love at home"!!!! we just died laughing!!!! We had so much fun there. It was so much like old town San Diego. Loved it! 

So then after we had all that fun. Sister Mathialagans body decided to take a little bit of a break. She ended up catching this horrible flu. No fun at all. She had lost a lot of fluids so we took her to the hospital because it wasn't normal for someone to be throwing up like 7x in 30 min. She had an inflamed appendix. So we had to do tons of doctor visits to see if she needed it out. She didn't. thankfully. I don't know how to do surgery! I just like to stay in the hospital. Its like a weekend getaway (hannah) :) there was even a kid in the ER with us that got a toilet seat stuck on his head. classic!

It was so wild and crazy though because we still had appointments to go to. So thankfully I just took a different sister with me to the lessons. I was so tired by the end of the week! but hey, the work is carrying on!

   I hope everyone had a wonderful week. keep my little man Arland in your prayers. I love you all!!

Hello!

(Sis Gibbs goes home in 2 weeks!) 

Hello all! 

Such a wonderful week in the beautiful land of Canada. Oh how the days just fly right by! 

Well for starters I had the chance to take some missionaries that were new to the area on a wonderful tour of downtown Vancouver. It felt so cool that I know this place. Its my new home! Sister emmaline neubert, living the city life! Whatch out world!

   This week Sister Mathialagan and I were invited to bring our recent convert Monique to mission counsel. Its a meeting where all the sister training leaders and zone leaders meet together and talk about how to improve the work in our areas. President Burt wanted us to come and share our testimonies and also Monique to share hers on the importance of the work. It was TERRIFYING! All these missionaries always telling me how to be a better missionary and now I had to be an example. So scary. But Monique did a wonderful job! She was so nervous but she rocked it! 

   Another wonderful this about this week is how much I love having an Indian companion. She makes the best food!!!!!! I have been so blessed with her. She makes something amazing out of nothing. She speaks to all the Indian people in 4 different languages and teaches full lessons to them. She is a rockstar missionary. She had only been out 6 months and I am learning SO much from her!

   Well I hope everyone has a wonderful week! I love you all so much!
