Hello Everyone!
Greetings from
people-are-starting-to-put-up-their-Christmas-lights-and-I-want-to-cry
Colorado!
It has been a week... good... but kinda a blur... kinda hard...
but good. haha.
Things are great with Sister Carpenter... she may be getting
sick of me, but I'll never get sick of her! We still are having the time of our
lives. She printed out a TERRIBLE picture of me that in behalf of Chelsey
I lovingly entitled "the Schemer".... it was nast. And she
printed it and hides it all around the apartment... one day it was staring at
me as I hopped into the shower... I died! haha... One time on my cereal
box... one time in my scripture case... it is so funny... we have to laugh and
love every day !
The work is going well, and one of our investigators wasn't able
to meet with us last week, but SURPRISE... shows up to church with her neighbor
in the ward... This ward is so awesome! I love the people here! We are really
trying to work hard and work smart, by helping the members to be good
missionaries too. So all of you reading this... can I just say.... M.
Russell Ballard has invited every member to pray about one person they can
introduce to the missionaries by Christmas time. We just have to give em
the choice... it's all about agency people... by not ever inviting them to
learn more, we take away their agency. And don't ya think the best Christmas
present you could give to them and the Savior, is an opportunity for them to
feel the Savior's love more in their life? That's all I'll say about
that.
I love teaching our recent converts about the next steps they
can take.... steps toward the temple! I get to go to the temple this week, and
I just love the peace we feel in the Lord's house! I love being a
missionary! I love seeing me change, and I LOVE seeing these people change as I
invite them to come to Christ.
Shout out to mama Sheri for being so thoughtful and sending me
letters and packages. She is the best. Sometimes I feel like my life at
home is a dream, and I feel pretty isolated and lonely at times.... So I'm
grateful for a good mom and great friends that help me to feel loved.
Thank you!
I love the Gospel! It is true! I love the Savior! He
is so patient. We as impatient and imperfect people can't understand
the kind of patience that He has, but it is there. He loves us and is ever
ready for us to turn to Him. It's never too late. I love Him.
I love you all, and miss you! Have a great week.... til we
read again I suppose.
Onward Christian Soldiers!
From me to you, Kinzie Lou
PS here is a little snap shot of me at zone conference with my
zone! and also a shot of me and Sis Burnett and Sis Carps and Sister Bleak all
of us have been companions with each other except Sis Bleak and I... and Sister
Openshaw joined for kicks and giggles... that didn't make sense... sorry...
loves.
