Seriously...... I AM SO HAPPY!!!

Hello Everyone!!!!!  Greetings from the other side of the mountains! 

I am one EXTREMELY HAPPY SISTER MISSIONARY!!!! Sorry, I know all the all-caps and exclamation points will get obnoxious, but I seriously just feel like I'm going to explode!

So I was sad at how fast my first transfer went by, me and Sister Burnett had a bawl! I love her.. President called me on Saturday and asked if I would be a trainer.  I cried (of course) and accepted the call.  I know that I (little ol Makinzie) could never train a new missionary when I'm still one and still unknowingly breaking some rules on accident, but I know that the Lord and President Toombs think I can do it, and I value their opinion the most right now, so here I am, a new trainer! I know that if I will rely on the Lord everyday all day, that I can train His way, and not my way... which is a really comforting thought.  So I was nervous yesterday before meeting my new companion and just wondering if she would like me, or think I'm crazy (she's right), and etc....  They said Sister Hunter you will be training Sister Brown.....  I looked into the room and saw one of my favorite people from Utah State, none other than MEGAN BROWN!!!!!!   WHHHHAAAAAA???????  I RAN (no seriously I ran) over to her squealing (kinda like a disgusting banshee) and we just hugged and laughed and squealed and smiled and yeah.... not my most graceful moment ever, but I couldn't believe it!  Sister Brown was called to Brazil, but is waiting on a visa, and was reassigned 3 days ago to serve in my mission. (of all the missions in the world to be reassigned to.) and then out of all of the 56 sisters that are more capable of training than me, President Toombs assigned us as companions!  Sister Brown and I sang in the Latter-Day Voices choir at the Logan institute last semester and seriously I looked up to her and her sweet testimony SO MUCH! (Brother Salmond our choir director is going to die!) And people called us the red lipstick brigade cuz we both love rocking the red lipstick... I just love her! and Heavenly Father knew I had spent a good amount of time on my knees, worried and nervous about training and so He blessed me with one of my dear dear friends as a companion.  I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT!!!! Seriously people... I don't know if you are grasping how happy I am.  Sister Brown and I are sweeping an area (translation: neither of us have ever been to the area before) but we are SO EXCITED! The ward hasn't had sisters for over 7 years, and so they are pumped and we are pumped and I feel like I'm on cloud 9 right now.  I'm serving in an area of Aurora, but it is such a nice area. Seriously it's beautiful.  The family I am staying with are so wonderful. They really want to take good care of us... (they are doing a good job.)  My whole mission I have been so blessed to live with such amazing members of the church. It's such a great thing...

I'm so sorry I don't have long to write, because I didn't get my full 2 hours today! Just know, that I am so humbled because I know sister Brown is one of Heavenly Father's most special special daughters. I hope that I can be the trainer that the Lord needs me to be for her because she is going to change the world. Whether it be here in Colorado for a while, or in Brazil.  So i'm humbled, and I'm going to be relying a lot on the Lord.

 

In this moment, I know that my Heavenly Father is also a Daddy who loves me very much!  I invite you all to pray this week to really get to know Him more as your Father who loves you all so much! I love you very much too! I think about you and smile and laugh! A lot!!!! Love you so much!!!!  

peace n blessins. peace n blessins.

Onward Christian Soldiers!!!

From me to you, Kinzie Lou
