This week was strange. Poor
Sister Hayes got the stomach flu so we had to stay in for a good chunk of it :(
BUT, we still saw miracles, so life is grand!
We were able to see B a
few times. She’s opening up a lot more and she’s better at keeping commitments
and following through, including baptism, which is awesome :D
K is having a rough time, so extra prayers for her would be great! She’s
still doing well, has applied to BYU and whatnot :D She is an incredible person
and I just hope I can be half the person she is someday!
So, not much else
happened other than TRANSFER CALLS! So....... I’m sort of leaving. Sister Holmstead
(who came out with me and will be going home with me) and I will be together
and we don’t have an assigned area. We'll be going to church in Berkshire (my
old area) but other than that will be working all over Bakersfield! All I know
is that we'll be "finding people in areas that are struggling" but
other than that it is all up in the air!! So be prepared for ALL THE INSANITY
THAT WILL ENSUE!! Legit, it is going to be crazy, I’m so excited!!

So as part of the Light
the World campaign, this video got released and it is AWESOME!! Read the
background of how it was written, but it’s just a simple prayer that is sung.
I have really learned
the importance of prayer on my mission and the power that can come from it. I
love how prayer enables us to know God’s will, to feel of His love, to gain
peace and forgiveness through our Savior. The whole restoration and miracles
that followed came from a simple scripture and a prayer that followed. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally,and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." I have been able to
develop a closer relationship with Heavenly Father and there is nothing that
can be more beneficial to us in this life than knowing our God personally and
fully. I love Him and this gospel so much, sorry it's so short, I’ll write more
next week :D I LOVE YOU!

Way back at the beginning of their missions July, 2015, at the MTC in Provo, Utah Sister King (far left) and Sister Holmstead (3rd from left in the blue and white dress) started their missions together in the same district, and will now finish their missions together as companions, and go home together! |
