Its been a good week, we had divisions twice with other hermanas which was a fun adventure!
Interesting that you mention the importance of the
restoration mom, seriously just today I was studying about the
restoration and everything and it hit me so hard. HOLY CRAP I AM SO
BLESSED! So this week in a lesson one of the investigators was basically
like "you don´t have a testimony, you are just in this church because
your parents made that decision, it wasn´t at all your choice."..... I
was a little angry in the moment but later I realized. You know
what...Yeah, I am in this church because my parents made the decision to
teach me and bring me and help me learn the gospel, and yeah at the time
I didn´t have much of a choice (especially not with you mom
hahaha) but you know what? I AM SO DANG GRATEFUL. SOOOOO GRATEFUL. I
AM A MEMBER OF THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE CHURCH THAT THERE IS ON THE
EARTH!!!! I didn´t even have to find it for myself, I was blessed to
grow up in it. I was sitting there studying and thinking about how
amazing is that the true church of Jesus Christ is restored and what
that means to me in my life and I turned and looked at my wall and saw
all the pictures I´ve put up (seriously TONS of pics) each one was of
something or someone or some memory that makes me happy. And I realized
that each one of those things I have because I am a part of this
church. This gospel is my life. Its is EVERYTHING to me. Its not just
an institution that I am a part of in my free time, it defines who I am,
what I do, and how I think. It has brought me all the happiness that I
have in my life and hope for a plan to come. This is the church of
Jesus Christ. And not simply a church, but it contains the Gospel of
Jesus Christ, His plan for us, and the things we need to be really truly
happy now and in the eternities. Thanks mom and dad for teaching me
from day 1 the importance of what we have as members of the Church of
Jesus Christ. I seriously can´t thank you enough.
JAKE!!!! YOU STARTED WITH DR HATCH!!?!?!?!?! My
advice. Don´t waste a minute of the time you have practicing. You have
to do 2 hours no matter what, so focus focus focus during that time,
that's something I wish I would have done more. Also, do the best you
can to follow his instructions to perfection, he knows what he is doing
and you can choose to let him help you do amazing things, or simply pay a
ton of money and go nowhere. So work HARD. You will never regret the
hard work you put into it, but you will ALWAYS regret the minutes and
hours you wasted that you could´ve been working harder. I PROMISE.
Mom and dad things I could use:
Dr
Scholls or some type of shoe insert (I would like 1 or two pairs and my
companion really needs two pairs too because she doesn´t have good
shoes, we have been on the look out but there isn´t anything too great
so I gave her a pair that I brought in my running shoes but we could use
some more if possible because we walk all day every day.)
Down east shade shirts (the kind that are only half a
shirt because they are great for heat) I´d like a black one and another
white one or two.
Buttermilk mix.... I really wanna make buttermilk syrup hahaha
KATIE. HOW ARE YOU DOING????? I´ve been freaking out thinking you are in the field with us now! Well... almost haha
and
hahahaha mal thats super crazy. The weather here is like more
tranquila than utah. And we have a nice new washer and dryer that have
been here as long as I have... so like six months.
Agh something else CRAZY. I come home a year from today..... what happened to the time?!?!?!?!
Well,
I have to go now... the time passes so fast dang it. But know that I´m
doing good, and when frustrations and stuff arise from the rules and
all that I just try and ignore it and be as obedient as I can. I know
its gonna help one day!
Chau!
Hermana Kyrstin Millett
Dinner with Ingrid, we didn´t have a table so we ate on the bed, we also had studies with her (Ingrid is a YSA that was called as a ward missionary, she is one of our best friends and greatest member missionaries out here and this sunday she spent all day with us including lunch and studies in the apartment.... don´t worry we got permission)
my sweet compy and hermana rivera (they both completed 9 months so we had a surprise party for them) I pretty much decided if we can´t have fun with anyone else because of all of the rules we are just going to have the most fun ever with the hermanas here in pocuro :) A surprise party!
