Hi everyone!
I hope you have all had a wonderful week.
I would like to thank my Heavenly Father for allowing me to be
apart of this gospel. It has influenced my life more than I ever thought
possible. The past 13 months have been more than I ever deserve. I would also
like to thank each of you for all of your support and extra prayers this
transfer. I couldn't have survived without you. I'm the luckiest girl in the
world. Thank you.
So guess what? I'm being transferred...actually, both my
companion and I are. We had interviews with President Keyes on Tuesday where he
gave us some pretty exciting news; they are requesting that all 42 sisters in
the mission participate in the Kansas City Missouri Temple open house. I'm
completely excited! We don't know where we are going to be transferred just yet
but we do know that it will be closer to KC Mo.
The sad part of all this is having to say good-bye. As hard as
it has been here in Great Bend I have completely fallen in love with the
people. From being stuck in the mud (twice), meeting my third cousin and
discovering that every prayer really is answered; none of it would be what it
is without the people that I have come to love. Who these people are and choose
to be has helped me become who I am. These people really are "examples to
the believers."
I was so grateful for the chance to express my appreciation and
love for these people yesterday while speaking in Sacrament Meeting. My life
would not be the same without Sister McCowan, Sister Smith, The Sifkies, or the
Knudsens. The past 12 weeks have helped me learn and grow into something that I
needed. I was able to rely on the Lord more fully and really appreciate the
gospel.
I owe everything I am to my Heavenly Father, my parents, and the
examples of each of you. Thank you.
We have our work cut out for us the next three days in getting
the area ready for the Elders to take over.
I love you. Have a great week. Be safe.
Sister Kenz
