Hello!
I just got back from the Kansas City
Temple! The temple was so amazing, I love the spiritual strength that we are
able to receive when we go there. It was extra amazing this time because one of
my missionary friends converts was going through for the first time.
Kansas City Temple |
This week was a great one! A few
highlights:
- it rained like crazy! I have never
seen such hard rain in my entire life! It was so fun.
- THE TOTAL SOLAR
ECLIPSE! So the entire world came to MO for it! The Visitor’s Center was packed
like crazy the whole weekend and we were giving tours nonstop. It was like the
summer time again. And then the day finally came, and it was pouring buckets!!
And there were clouds everywhere! But it cleared up like right before it
started getting dark. We all went outside and took a ton of pics. Our district
leader came and took pics with us, the Petersons did, our Ward Mission Leader came
and brought us homemade brownies, and it was all so fun! So we are standing
outside 20 minutes before and it is progressively getting darker and darker
until it is so dark outside. We were able to take off our glasses when the moon
covered the sun and it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Pictures
cannot do it justice. The stars came out, it was so dark, and the moon looked
like it had a shiny ring around it. Then after 45ish seconds it started moving
on and we had to put the glasses back on. Then about 20 minutes later it was
bright again but there were clouds everywhere! It was so so so cloudy. The Lord
truly blessed us by clearing up the clouds when we went to go watch it
- We got to have a lesson with my favorite
investigators! RL’s family. We haven’t had a real lesson with them in 2
transfers- so it was a big deal! And they came to church!
- We were also able to meet with R
and he decided that he wants to start taking lessons every week! It was just a
great week for our investigators
- I took the most amazing tour!!! So
a man and his wife, his parents and his grandma came into the visitors center.
The man was the only member so I showed his family around a little bit and
answered a lot of their questions about the church. Then they started looking
around and he came up to me and told me that he was going through the temple
for the first time on Saturday. We were talking a little about that when his
wife came up and she was confused about the temple. So I took them to the
temple kiosk and his whole family followed. I did a little lesson on the
temple, and showed some videos and the Spirit was SO strong! The strongest I
have felt it in the Visitor’s Center in a long time, it was amazing.
The Lord truly blesses us as we work
hard and word to align our will with His. I am so blessed to be serving
here.
A new mormon message came out, and I
am in love with it. It shows how important it is to be faithful and obedient. I
especially love the obedience aspect. That is something that I have really
learned on my mission- how important exact obedience to the Lord's commandments
is.
I love you all!
