NEED I SAY MORE???

Hello Everyone!!!
Greetings from everyone-is-mourning-the-loss-of-their-pride-because-of-the-superbowl-Colorado.  SOOOOO Glad the season is over... hahaha... I know... I'm annoying.. don't care.
What a week... I've been sick... and i hate not being able to sing.... but I still do.. and sound awful! Me and Sis Mak sing hymns at almost every lesson to invite the Spirit... haha.  I really have been reflecting on the progress of the area, and of myself... I know I have a long way to go, and so I'm grateful for the changes I can make this transfer... and as far as the work goes... wishy washy investigators...ain't nobody got time fo dat.  I love them, but I'm here to teach people who are ready to accept and act on the most important message they will ever hear in their life... that God speaks today, we have a prophet, and the priesthood authority has been restored so we can be baptized, be cleansed from sin, sealed with our families forever, and be able to return to live with God some day.  That's it.  If they aren't wanting those blessings... it's sad... but I can't force anyone... that's not Heavenly Father's way.  But I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY! I love sharing this message, I love seeing it changed others, and myself. It's true.  It's simply true.
Me and Sis Openshaw
Transfer day::::: day of tears.. always... Sis Makasini left me... boo hoo... I love her soo much! we couldn't be more different, or be any more united. We had a lot of harmony and I loved it!  BUT my new companion is Sister Openshaw! We were "batchmates" and roommates in the MTC! WHHHAAAAA????  Yeah... I know... I've been soooo blessed with awesome companions! I already know her and love her soo much!
My Spiritual thought for the week is about what we need to know.  There is so much truth and knowledge that has been restored.  It is truth.  It is worldwide. It is universal.  I was singing Tongan hymns last night and I couldn't understand anything... but I was singing and loving the sweet Spirit that was there.  but a word stuck out to me and I asked sister mak if it meant Gethsemane and she said yes.  What else did I need to know about the hymn? Nothing.  I knew it was talking about Jesus Christ and what He did for us in Gethsemane... That's really what we need to know.  Life is hard and there are things that we don't understand, but cling to that universal truth.  Jesus Christ saved us in Gethsemane.  Saved us from sin, saved us from misery and pain, saved us FOR eternal life and happiness and joy and peace.  And He always invites: Come.  Follow me. 
Me and Sis Mak and our sweet investigator Shanaz!
 I LOVE HER!
My invitation to you all this week is to feel the Spirit more through music that makes us think of Jesus Christ... music is SOOO powerful! Either for good or bad.
I love my Savior, I love this Gospel, that tells us how we use the Savior's Atonement.  I know this Gospel is true, I know it because I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God.  I love you all, and miss you!!!! 

Love you!!!!
Onward Christian Soldiers!

From me to you, Kinzie Lou
