So this
week was crazy good and great!!!
So on Tuesday we had
Elder Bennett of the 70 come and talk with us! That was amazing!!! He spoke in
last conference! Wow is he just a power house!!! Totally changed how I will do
missionary work and live life!!! When talking to an elder he said, "I love
you, but stop it!"
which i think that
applies to everything! It goes to a good better best type thing and we need to
not worry about all the little things!
It was just sooo great
but then my companion wasn't taking notes and I was just having a hard time
knowing she wasn't probably taking any of this to heart because of past things
shes done I've kinda lost trust in her... anyways I was soooo stressed and I
got to see my favorite companions Sister Mckendrick and Kelso! I love
them and I have missed them! Then after shaking Elder Bennetts hand I saw
an Elder who used to be my district leader who helped me and I lost it!
Remembering what great companions I had and how hard working.... I lost it, and
I mean anxiety and panic attack thinking of coming back to Los Lunas and me
being the only one working, and not know if one of us was going to get
transferred and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Then all these
missionaries are around me start asking if I was ok and I said I need to talk
to President! hahah oh man......so I was able to and man is he called of God!
I just love him! Anyways
he told me good things to help me and he knew how hard it was for me and told
me.....
Sister Christensen is
getting transferred!! Oh man... I love her as a friend but as a mission
companion.....wow.... sometimes I think that is why we were together...it
is because all my companions have been power houses so I think Heavenly Father
was like ok....this is how you'll feel if you don't work hard!!! wow....
So that helped this
week, and there were lots of times when she didn't want to do anything but it
was good knowing I only had 5 more days with her.. that sounds bad but...
Other cool things.......
I have been really wanting to be bold in lessons and have it be by the spirit!
well, (oh and Elder Bennett talked about that too!) so we were in a lesson and
I didn't think I was being bold, but after the lesson the member said and
I quote,
"your boldness was
by the spirit and I could see that!" ahhh I about cried!!! yay!
Also, we have some
cool investigators!
Ervin-is 11 years old
has been taking the lessons forever with his mom Jennifer and just now his dad
Warren!They have been taking lessons so long that when Sister Mckendrick was
here a year ago she taught them! Well, when we first met ErvIn he said he
was going to get baptized Jan 29! That was in Oct. and now he's getting
baptized Dec. 26! (which will be one year since I went to the temple~)
sooo excited for him!!!!
Kathleen Marshell

Marshell who was in the 70's, and a motivational youth speaker. Anyways,

So its been good, oh
