This is life, as I know it!
Hi everyone,
Last week I mentioned about Savannah being baptized. Apparently
there was more to the story. As the district leader was interviewing
Savannah something came up from her past that was going to need 1st Presidency
clearance. When that is needed it usually takes a few weeks to a few
months for the request to go through. President Keyes was informed
immediately and the request was put in that evening of the interview.
Miraculously the 1st Presidency happened to be going through
those requests that very next morning. Through prayers and a lot of
communication between the 1st Presidency, President
Keyes, and the Sisters Missionaries, Savannah was cleared for
baptism that same evening. How cool is that? It’s amazing to see
how everything really is under Heavenly Father’s direction and timing.
We had an interesting encounter with a 90-year-old man Monday.
I'll have to tell you about it someday when you are all old enough. :)
On Sunday we received a text from one of our less actives we
have been working with. He asked if we could find him a ride to church. No one
ever asks if they can come to church. Sister Cash and I were just a little
excited. When we entered the chapel there was Ma'a with his white shirt
and tie waiting for us. As we were sitting in sacrament listening to
testimonies, Ma'a suddenly got up and started heading to the
pulpit. I have no idea what he said because it was all in Samoan
but it didn't matter, the Spirit was perfect. It was really fun to watch
all the native Samoan speakers talk to him afterward. Ma'a is coming back and I
couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to watch it happen.
Sorry about my short email this week. My mind is full of
thoughts but I can't seem to get them into my email today. Know that things are
going well in Zion. Each day is something new and different. The lord
is always blessing us. "Missionary work is difficult. It taxes
ones energies, it strains ones capacity, it demands ones best effort-frequently
a second effort. No other labor requires longer hours or greater devotion or
such sacrifice and fervent prayer." -President Monson. This is life as I
know it and it’s a good one. I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunities
I've been given.
Love you. Be safe.
Sister Kenz
