Hi everyone!:D
I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!! It's the best thing ever!:D lol
So this week pretty great, we met this girl named Destiny and she has a baptism date of October 17! She was a referral from a member in a different ward and she's awesome! We met her last week and she was super excited to meet us. We set a time to meet with her the day before and the day of she texted us to make sure we were still coming lol Destiny is 16 and is super sweet. We taught her the Restoration and the lesson went really well. The Spirit was really strong, and I could feel it very strongly when I was bearing my testimony to her. When we asked her to be baptized and she said yes it looked like she was about to cry. So far we've just taught her the Restoration but were planning on seeing her on Thursday and watching Meet The Mormons. She also came to church and really liked it. She was soooo excited to come!:D She texted us Sunday morning and was like, "Today is the day!" Destiny is awesome and I'm really excited for her. She's going to the youth activity on Wednesday night as well and several of the young women told her that they were excited to see her there. I love our ward!:D
Mom, THANK YOU so much for sending me Meet The Mormons!! Sense I've gotten it, I've probably watched it 4 times or more!:D lol Sometimes me and Sister Elms will listen to Glorious in the car and bring our little movie player thing. And we'll get really into it:Dlol
We had a really fun p-day last week. We went to a Naza museum and took a tour on their bus:D It was a really fun day and we got lots of pictures lol The museum was two stories high and on the top floor they had a table for you to make airplanes. Me and Sister Elms were trying to find the elders and we found them at this table making airplanes lol We were looking for them for about 30 minutes before we found them, and then we all spent a good bit of out time making airplanes:D
So you know how we only have an hour a day to study, one hour is not enough. If I could, I would study for three hours a day, I would. I can't wait to do that when I get home! In the MTC you study for about 5 hours a day and our teachers told us that we would miss studying for 5 hours a day and they were totally right!:D When I get home I want to study everyday for several hours and I want to own some of my favorite church movies and music! And study books, I love study books! I love personal study, I learn a ton and I love reading my scriptures! There are so many great chapters in the Book Of Mormon, and I didn't really know because I never really hardcore studied them. I'm so excited to study for hours!:D
Transfer calls are this Saturday and transfer day is next Tuesday. So me and Sister Elms are still companions but this might be our last week together:( I hate transfer calls, i just don't like not knowing whats going on. I'm mainly nervous because if Sister Elms leaves then I would be taking over the area! Hopefully that doesn't happen, but if it does I know i'll be ok because Heavenly Father Will help me and I can always rely on him:D
Sorry I didn't email ya'll yesterday, we had Zone Conference all day and when we got back we had a dinner appointment so we didn't have time:( Anyways hope ya'll are doing well! Also to everyone who has ever been in my life thank you, everyone one of you have helped me become who I am. I know Heavenly Father has truly blessed me with amazing people in my life. I wouldn't be who I am without the gospel and I wouldn't as happy as I am without the gospel. It's been a wonderful blessing in my life and I have no doubts that it's true:D I know I'm here a reason and that I have been given special talents and abilities to bless his children. I know there are people Heavenly Father has prepared that I am meant to teach and I'm so grateful for this sacred opportunity to serve him and to change who I am on the inside. I know we were sent here not just to learn and grow but to change and become who Heavenly Father wants us to be. Being on a mission, I've never hated the natural man so much. But I know that through the Atonement we can and will overcame the natural man. As we repent daily, not just weekly, we will feel a difference in our lives and and we be happier. We will have greater strength to resist temptation and we will become pure even us our Father in Heaven is:D I'll never be perfect, but with Him can overcome my weakness. Without the Atonement I would be lost, and I know it's something I'll always need. I love the Atonement and I love Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ. I love the gospel and know with all my heart it's true. Thank you mom and dad for teaching me the gospel and being an example to me my whole life. Thank you for supporting me and for your testimonies. Your the best parents ev,er and I have been very blessed to have ya'll as my parents:D
There's a quote i love by Gordon B. Hinckley and it's about sister missionaries
There's a quote i love by Gordon B. Hinckley and it's about sister missionaries
“Today many sisters are being called to serve. Many more are preparing to serve. Not because they aren't married or don't have anything else to do, but they have the desire to serve. One reason that the Lord wants more sisters to serve is because within the next generation He will send His priesthood army to the earth. He wants to send choice spirit children to mothers who have been prepared, properly trained, and taught in the gospel. What better schooling can a mother have than the experience and growth she gains through serving a mission."
I LOVE that quote and it's so true:D Got to go, but love ya'll and hope your having an amazing day!:D
Love Sister Keables!:D
