Hi everyone-
I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the
Olympics. Although I'm a little bummed I don't get to watch them
I'm even more sad I don't get to be called a new Olympic nickname
from my Dad everyday. Guo Jingjing was my personal favorite from the 2008
games.
Tell Grandpa Hall I love him! I'm so glad they found the cancer
when they did. He's a tough guy.
We had interviews with President and Sister Keyes this last
week. As President and I were talking he told me the best news,
Savannah Cox was baptized July 26th! When he told me I had the most
overwhelming feeling, I couldn't help but cry. She made it, and I was lucky
enough to be apart of it! I was so grateful at that moment. Even though I
wasn't able to be there, knowing that she was able to overcome all that she did
was an amazing feeling.
I so needed to hear everything President said to me. He is
one of those people that speaks directly to your spirit, and knows exactly what
you need. It amazes me he is in charge of 240 missionaries and
where they need to serve and who they need to serve with; but he does it every
single transfer. It’s all because of inspiration from our Heavenly Father.
It was a really good reminder for me to know that my 5 areas and 9 companions
were exactly what Heavenly Father wanted for me. Every person, experience, and
moment was part of His plan. It’s amazing to know that the most powerful being
the universe is aware of each of us and every aspect of our lives.
Yesterday I was able to go on exchanges’ with Hermana
Crystal. It was so nice to not to be on the “sister leader” side of exchanges
and to just be a missionary. Sister Crystal is amazing. She has been someone I
would love to have served with but we were always on opposite sides of the
mission. We taught 6 lessons in 6 hours (that doesn't usually happen while
working at the Visitors Center), but numbers don't really matter. It was
because of how real and loving she is with everyone. She
emanates the example of our Savior and because of that
people listen to her. It was an awesome day.
Sorry, this week’s letter is kind of lame. But things
are continuing to move along. The work is slowly progressing and
Sister Cashmore and I are loving and laughing our way through it. Sister
Cashmore has been such a blessing. I have never met someone that
laughs as much as she does. She is an amazing Sister.
Much thanks to all of you.
I love you. Be happy and stay safe.
Sister Kenz
