Happy 20th birthday Braden!!!
So, this week has been BUSY!!! So busy that we
all fell asleep in our apartment with the bedroom lights on two nights in a
row. Sister Heffernan woke up at 2:21 am and turned it off. Then Sister Smith
woke up and turned it off at 11:45 pm. I was so tired this week it made me
sick! So yes, I was sick Saturday thru yesterday and into today. But last night
I got a blessing and was told I'd have a speedy recovery.
I am SO TIRED!!!!!!!! It's AWESOME!!!!! And I'm
SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!! It's weirding me out!!!
I got busted at the local burger place by a
member who works there that I was an opera singer. It was funny!
I'm working on the essay for the scholarship that
dad sent me and have emailed President Lewis for help with the community
service hours verification and recommendation stuff. He'll be emailing you dad
if he has questions :).
So, I'm getting over being sick. My back is
hurting bad though, but we're getting new mattresses soon, so that'll help a
ton!
Nothing is stopping us!
We worked so hard this past week. We got 8
referrals this week! We've contacted 5 so far. This was an answer to prayers
because we've been asking everyone and before this past week we'd only gotten
one referral out of it. Now it's finally bearing fruit! I'm definitely still
working on having the patience to endure the Lord's timing. It's hard to be
patient when you're constantly shaking off the feeling that time is running
out... oh well! Life is life! And mission life is awesome!
I was frustrated this week when we still didn't
find the child of god who's ready to be baptized this month, but then we both
realized it's all in the Lord's timing. Yes, His vision IS that each
companionship helps one of His children receive baptism and confirmation
monthly, but there is their agency and stuff to go with it. But God's in
control and He did tell me thru my blessing yesterday that I needed to be
patient in enduring His timing... Right on the nose, as per usual, of course!
So, I'm giving it to Christ and just keeping moving forward.
I've started the "My Plan" program from
the Church that's for helping missionaries transition into "civilian"
life post-mission. It's promoting a lot of reflection on my mission and I'm so
grateful for that, because it's helping me keep from getting trunky! Don't
worry! Funny story: I thought that I was getting trunky earlier this
week though, because I was thinking about how I was going
to make my last weeks most effective. Then sister Smith told me that was the
opposite of trunky. Aren't companions just awesome! They help you get much
needed reality checks! It's perfect!
My Ponderizer this week is... I don't remember
this second.... hahahaha, funny! Will update you next week!
Something I forgot to tell you about sister Smith
is that she trains guide dogs for the blind when she's home! Cool!
I love you all! Happy Martin Luther King Jr.
Day!!!
Love,
Sister Karony
