I made it to Mississippi! I just met my trainer and she seems
really nice, her name is Sister Moffit. Just like when I arrived at the MTC, I’m
not talking much to other people, and I’m really tired. I'm sure I’ll love it
here after a few days, but for now I’ll be praying a lot for strength and
comfort. I didn't get any sleep on the plane, so I can't wait to go to bed
tonight. lol My first area is Vicksburg (Editorial Comment: Vicksburg is right on the border of Mississippi and Lousianna. And right on the Mississippi River.), and it has lots of history and museums.
Dad, I thought of you when they told me that. lol
Yesterday we we're supposed to be at the buses at 3:30am, and
all of the sisters in our district woke up at 3:36!! I literally woke up, got
dressed, grabbed my bags, and left with the sisters. We made it to the bus, but
because we were late none of us got to say goodbye to each other. I was really sad to leave the MTC.
A few days we before we left our district, I had a really cool
and amazing experience. One of our teachers was pretending to be a less-active
member and it was our job to bring him back to the church. It was really cool
because we tried really hard to teach/help by the Holy Ghost. It was amazing
how the Spirit guided our questions, and how strongly each of us felt it. Just
by asking the right questions, and good questions, you can really help an
investigator or a less-active member. One of my favorite things I’ve learned is
the only way to help/teach is by the Spirit. If you don't have it, then you
can't really bring others unto Christ. I've learned so many great things, and I
can't wait to bring the gospel to others!:D If you have a chance, look up “Character
Of Christ” By David A. Bednar, it’s sooo good!!:)
As promised, I have pictures!!lol All are from the MTC, and I’ll
probably send more from here next week. Sister Kidd is the one with glasses
standing by me the in most of them. Also, two of the Elders in my district are
with me in Mississippi.
Can you tell Beth I loved, loved her letter and tell her and Alyssa to
email me. Thank you!:)
Got to go, but tell dad happy birthday for me, and I think he's
the greatest dad in the world!:D Miss and love all ya;) And can't wait to talk
to you and everyone else in less in two months!
Love, Sister Keables!!!:D
P.S. Last thing. Guess what!? I saw Karly Manwill at the Temple!!! While we were taking pictures she came up to me and really surprised me lol
