Food blessings are the best blessings because, well, you can eat them!
This week we taught 9 new investigators which was amazing! When we first got into the YSA area it was completely dead, meaning there were 0 investigators. They all seem pretty solid. We taught a recent convert named David who basically does nothing with his life. He plays video games all day and wears the same clothes everyday. So we went in and basically ripped him a new one. It was interesting. It was what he really needed though, we ended up going with him right then to the store and just picking out a bunch of nice clothes and telling him to buy them. He did and said he will change so it was actually a lesson guided by the spirit, even though it might not have looked like it from the outside. We said everything he needed to hear and he changed!
We had 4 new investigators on Thursday through a miracle! Monday we didn't know where to go finding, so we said a prayer and felt that we should go to UBC. Well,we got 7 new investigators out of it so God is real! Thursday was a real miracle though, because we asked the girl we were meeting with to bring her friends who might also be interested and they are all really solid! They have been texting us about how well their prayers have been going and how they feel God answering them! The Kid I found last Monday is named Harry and he is really a true seeker. We have met with him twice and he is just really awesome. He wants to know more and get baptised.
Friday we had our Zone Meeting which was a really great meeting. President and Sister Burt were there which was really special.
It's been super cold and rainy this week, but that's life! We still go out and work no matter what!
So about those Food Blessings (I know, you are all dying to know what that was about). This week we have had no food (not really our fault, it's a long story) so we just said a prayer that God would help us to eat. It worked! We had members text us and invite us over to dinner, we had a recent convert take us out to Boston Pizza, members just buy groceries and give them to us, it's been insane. As soon as we asked God to help us get food we became stuffed! We have even more appointments this week. I'm telling you, God is REAL!
So the big thing about Paris is huge here in Vancouver. They just started letting in thousands of refugees from Syria here, but then the attacks happened and now nobody wants to keep letting them in and send the ones already here back. People are scared what happened in Paris is going to happen here in Vancouver. There is supposed to be another boat of refugees this week and people are freaking out here. I don't know a ton, just what people on the street or our investigators tell us, but it's kind of scary. Make sure you keep all these people in your prayers. The world really needs it right now.
Well, love you all. The weeks just fly by here. I didn't take any pictures. I'll try, I'm just so busy!! Hope you all have a great week!
Love,

Elder Wallace
"Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?... for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself." (Matthew 6:31-34)#FOODBLESSINGS!!!!
For real though. As long as you seek after God, he will really bless you and take care of you, I have seen that over the past 4 months of my mission.
