Work is Hastening!

Hello Everyone!!
Greetings from why-is-marijuana-legal-here-so-annoying-Colorado!!! 

What a week we had in Green Valley!!! Here are some miracles for ye:
*We found 7 new investigators... usually it is like 0 or 1 or 2....
*Claudia came to church for the first time and knew A TON of the ward members and everyone was sooooo sweet to her and the lesson in Sunday school was on baptism... Come on Claudia!!
*The ward fasted for missionary work!!!  I finally am starting to feel like they care!
*We had THE coolest lesson with Essie and Olac and their 3 kids.... like seriously the kids were asking questions that lets me know they are really seeking truth and one daughter who is in college said "I wish we could talk about these things every day.!" Well Sarah... we can definitely make that happen for you! wowza!  Heavenly Father has been soo good to us! 

A funny moment came from a letter from a friend this week.  He said, "There is an old adage: You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink..... FALSE! You feed the horse the most salty savory treat and then he would be crazy not to drink!"  So yeah, I'm looking for those salty savory gospel treats I can share with people so they will want to drink the Living Water!!!

Man, life is funny... when the scriptures say opposition in all things, they really mean opposition in all things... so I feel like I am on a spiritual and emotional rollercoaster ride but all is well. 

I am learning again and again that it's not about me.  I'm here to serve others... including my companion and so I'll be happiest when I'm not thinking of myself.  But there is something to say about feeling loved and cared about...  But I know that as I have to be a rock for people, I just turned it over to the Lord and I know that He is MY rock. He is the best One to lean on and the best shoulder to cry on.  With trials and hard days come the bittersweet opportunities to know Christ better.  I know that I am standing with the best life the world has ever known.  I know that He will love and support me, just as He has done in other times in my life. 

The Character of Christ is turned outward.  Even in His hardest moments He was always turned outward and loving and serving other people.  ****BUT**** We are human.  We aren't perfect. We are weak.  And so we need to allow others to love us and serve us.  Sometimes that is hard!!! It's tough for some us to be humble enough to accept help from the Lord or from those people who would answer our prayers if we would allow them to. But hey, we are all a work in progress, right?  I'm sending mixed signals, aren't I.... Ultimately Christ is the true source of peace, but as we reach out to love and serve others ALL of our needs will be met.  We help others, and help ourselves. 

I know that Jesus Christ is my best Friend. He is yours too. But He isn't pushy... He only will be in our lives if we invite Him to be. 
 
I love you all and am grateful for the love and support you show me.  Today I was just really needing some love, and so I'm grateful to feel I haven't been forgotten by some of you. Thank you so much!  I will keep praying for you!!! Much loooooove!

Onward Christian Soldiers!
From me to you, Kinzie Lou
