Hanna's life in 2021 was as a missionary in the Canada Toronto Mission. She had lots of companions, lots of transfer, lots of covid restrictions and lockdowns, lots of service (food banks, homeless shelters, etc), lots of English classes (teaching Spanish speakers), lots of online lesson, lots of praying, studying & coming to know her Savior, Jesus Christ.
We loved getting to talk to her every Monday. We were often on video calls with her for 3 to 5 hours on Mondays, especially when they were locked down.
She never did stop wishing that the borders would open so she could go to the Dominican Republic, her original mission call. When she reached her one-year mark, she knew she would spend the rest of her mission in Toronto, and she was okay with that.
She got to serve with so many missionaries from southern Alberta, and lots from Cardston. Two of her companions also went to Cardston High School, Megan Hornberger and Julianna Miller. There was always missionaries she knew from home in her districts and zones.
She served in the four Spanish wards in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA as the locals call it) - Brampton, Black Creek, downtown Toronto, and Churhville YSA. Then she got transferred to Leamington, which is a small branch in an area that is the tomato capital of Canada. So many greenhouses. They found a group of Latino migrant workers, and they would go and have Bible study with them on Sunday nights. Then she was transferred to London where she served in the Spanish branch.
She had companions she loved, companions she grew to love, and challenging companions. She had baptisms and a lot of friends committed to baptism that fell through. She came to love so many people.
(I made a separate blog and blogbook of all of her mission letters - if you ever want to learn more)
We love Hermana Nunn!
