We survived the transfer calls this week, so none
of the 4 Sisters in our apartment are moving on Wednesday. I'm so grateful the
Lord has chosen to let me stay here to finish out my mission. I couldn't have
asked for a more amazing ward or companion!
So a lot has happened this transfer, this week!
Amongst all of this, I have learned so much about being kind, charitable, and
listening from Sister Smith.
We resolved the situation with one of our
investigators this week and teaching them is back on track! It's awesome not
being able to runaway from your problems and challenges!
Something else really amazing happened though
over the course of this past week. I have been thinking about Sister. A few days ago I had felt like something was
off. Shortly after that, we got the
transfer call. I heard that Sister Danger was going home because of her mom, it
all clicked into place. The witness of the Holy Ghost is stronger than
anything, after all. I have peace about it and I'm praying for Sister Danger
and her mom every day. I'm so grateful for all that she taught me. If anything,
she'll be back out some time.
Crazy cool stuff isn't it? Heavenly Father truly
is in every detail of our lives. Also, had apartment inspections this past Friday
by Elder and Sister McBean, and gave Elder McBean Papa Charlie's address so he
can write him. He was so excited. He said if Omie didn't already have it, he
would give me Margie's number so I could give it to her, so they could
reconnect. The world is so small!
We both feel so strongly that we're going to have
a baptism this month and I received the prompting that doing this will help us
achieve that goal. When we are obedient, the Lord immediately blesses us (in
His timing and way of course though). Sister Smith and I have been so bone
tired and spiritually, emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausted the past
3 days... it stinks, but it's not stopping us at all. We are so happy despite
it all, and it's kinda scary and awesome!
I sang for an investigator last night impromptu.
It was fun! It's the last stretch. I'm using every second and making every
single one effective. It's a glorious feeling! I have no regrets. But what
makes it all truly worth it, is seeing my brothers and sisters come unto Christ
and the joy that they experience from it. That is the ultimate reward for all
that's happened.
The stories above tell it all.
My Ponderizer this week is Alma 31:5, and this
quote goes along with it: "True doctrine, understood, changes attitudes
and behavior. The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior
quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior." –President
Boyd K. Packer
This quote is from Preach My Gospel. It is so
true! That is what has happened to me over the past 2 years. Thru Jesus Christ
we are cleansed from sin, we are healed spiritually. And, as we increase in our
understanding of the Atonement, we will increase in our desire to share the
gospel, because we want others to know the joy which comes from it as well.
Sister Karony-ism for this week is I came up with
a new word by accident: Horrocious. Horrific+Atrocious= Horrocious. I was so
tired and I mixed the words together when I went to say horrific, but changed
it to atrocious half way through saying it.
Classic!
This letter has been a whopper! I've also loved
the emails I've gotten today! Thank you!
Love,
Sister Karony
My snowman-sea monster! He's beautiful!
