"Movin On"

These weeks just go by so fast!!!!! :) I can’t believe that I am only 3 months 

away from being a year out on mission!!!!!!! That is just plain crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!

by the way do you know when Matt gets home???? I can’t remember when 

he left. I hope he is doing ok. I know he is working wonders down there :) 

 Sounds like your week has been full of broken computers and fun in

the water :)  I hope it has been fun for you. :) I hope that you can get your

comp fixed... question how can you do your work without a computer? 

and plus what are you going to do with 2 computers?? why can’t you just

get dell to fix the old one? But I am glad that the CD's helped out!:)  

Sounds like you are also busy in the MTC :) That’s great! :)I have this

feeling that when I get home that you are going to know more about PMG

than I will!! :)  I can feel that you’re really working hard there :) 

Thank you for setting such a good example for me :) 

The missionaries are lucky to have you in the MTC with them. :) and it sounds

like missionary work there is like here:) you have to be ready for anything :) think

on your feet. I like it :) it is super fun :) know what you mean when you get

asked to speak in the meeting when you just got to church :) ya that’s nice. 

Well, as for me this week has been super fun!!!  We have been working hard :) 

we can see the improvements :) its amazing :) But I do have some news. :) 

 Saturday was transfer news........

 I am being transferred I am going to a place called Kitale. :) I have 

also been asked to be a Zone Leader there… I don’t know how I feel about that,

but whom the Lord calls he qualifies.  So I am going to the other side of the 

country. lol :) People tell me it is still the bush, not as bush as here not even close!!!

but still they say that it is bush. :) I will be in the town. :)  I hear it is nice, they say

that it is cold up there or at least as cold as Kenya can get :) but I will

be leaving this week on Wednesday. I am sad to leave here but I am looking forward

to going to a new place :) I think it is time to move along.

Missionary life is one amazing thing!! :) I am lucky to be here working for the Master!

I truly am blessed :) the work here is amazing. :) We also had another baptism on 

Sunday of a man named Peter, He is a part of the group of people that we are trying

to start a branch :) he works hard to come to church and every thing. He is a good guy! :)

So cool story :) We got to go to this river :) it was a great P-day activity. :) we had a lot lot of fun playing in the river there were suppose to be crocks there:) lol   We didn’t see any crocks even if people do say they were there. :) lol we had some food on this super cool beach area and it was just super fun!!! We also found this great tree house that you need to stay in when you come down this way :) it’s right next to the river! :) It is beautiful! Also we were even in the Park today the river is the boundary line :) we found some tracks of a lot of animals that come to the river and drink. it was super cool!!! 

so that is my bragging story of how cool I am and my mission :) lol

I’m happy for your wonderful days that you have! going to the mtc the temple and all of those wonderful things. I can’t wait for the day that I can once again go to the temple! It will be an amazing day!! I can’t wait to just sit inside, in the peace, quiet, beauty of the temple. Where the soft tender promptings of the Spirit come so easy and with such clear understanding. I look forward to that day and I look forward to going to the temple with you and mom. I know that as you spend more time in the temple your mtc experience will get better and better! maybe if possible you could try to go with some of your missionaries there. I know that they would love it! and I know that the teaching you are trying to get them to learn will be more pressed into their minds. You even said it yourself its like you can do more in your day.  :)  Missionaries in the mtc a lot of them anyways, will have problems that you will not be able to solve, and I know you know that but what I have found here and though life is that all you really need is a desire to be better. If you want to be better then the Lord will put things in your way to help you grow into what is needed. But what I guess I’m saying is that all you really need is to implant an idea that they are climbing to the top and they with the Lord will fix themselves. I hate to say this but I have seen an Elder here in my district that does not have that desire to better himself. He thinks he is the best that there is. And you can see how it has hurt him in his life and even his mission, it is very sad. But I know the Lord is there to help him and I hope it all works out.

To answer your questions. My comp is great!  I am proud to call him my "son" :) he is turning into a great missionary. :) We work well together. I even think he is going to train this next transfer. :)  He knows a lot of things for only being in the church for like 2 years. I am very happy to be his trainer, and yes I do love him and I want the best for him. He is going to be a part of my life forever! He has somehow played a part in helping me return to live with our Farther. :) The new training program ( The 1st 12 weeks) is very very very good for setting a foundation for a missionary! If any missionary follows that then they will know what to do! :) it’s great! As for the district, it is doing well for the most part. remember that missionary that I told you about who doesn’t want to grow well him and his comp are having a very hard time together!!!!!! This missionary is with his trainer still too. I am really worried for him!!! I feel like if he dose not change the way he thinks about other people he will not last his 2 years. But other than that we all love each other VERY much!!!! :)

Well I hope all is going well on your side of the world :) keep me posted on anything cool that is happening. :)

We are working for the Lord, but the Lord is working on us.

LOVE
