First week in Monticello

Hello Again! Things have changed a lot. I am getting used to it here in Monticello. I still don't know where I am most of the time but I am starting to recognize places we have passed. I know I will be learning a lot this transfer. It's going to be good. Sister Garner is awesome. She is from Elberta, Utah. She has been on her Mission for almost a year. We have had a couple of walk days this week. And let me tell you I would rather have biked! We walked 7 miles one day and 5 miles another. Walking takes so much time! But on the bright side it was easier to stop and talk to people. I met some of the members this week and we had a lesson with Danny. He got baptized just in December and he bought a suit for church. He didn't know how to tie a tie and the sisters have previously tried. I said I could give it a shot and I was able to remember how to tie one! I am grateful I decided I wanted to learn how to tie a tie even if I didn't wear one. We have been running around trying to met with people and I can't remember all those I have met so hopefully next week I will be able to tell y'all some more. I am grateful that I have decided to serve a mission and I am grateful for all the things that I am learning. I know that the Atonement of Jesus Christ will help me as I continue to improve. I love ya! Sister Kemp (Sorry, no pictures)

Hello! This week has been awesome. We have done a lot and met some really awesome people. We went to Earle this week to try some people that we are teaching but haven't been able to see recently and we decided to go tracting. We pick a street, and when we got there we saw only 3 houses on the street! So we knocked all three. No one was home, but two little kids were walking on the street and asked us what we were doing. We told them we were wanting to talk to people about Jesus. The pointed to a back of a house and said "That guy loves God...His name is Tony." So we went to that house and we met Tony. He is a really cool guy, he has been trying to find a church to go to, and wanted to know how he could get closer to God. Yesterday we went finding and knock on a house. A guy answered and we introduced ourselves, he said the house was a Muslim household. We offered service and gave him our card. We started down the street and we heard someone yelling. We looked back an...

Hello! This week has been pretty good. Saturday was just a really awesome day we had spiritual lessons one after another. It started with Kelvin who in the last lesson we had said he was spiritually hungry and didn't feel like he was getting filled at his church. He was founded during a blitz before I got here but he said that he knew when he say the elders that whatever they were sharing would help him. We taught him the first lesson on Saturday and he knew that everything we where saying was true because he was talking about that earlier with his wife. We invited him to be baptized but he said he wanted to make sure it was the right church and the right things to do. After Kelvin we had a lesson with Ms. Cathy she asked for a priesthood blessing so we had asked someone in the branch to give her one. Afterwards she said that the peaceful feeling she had while reading the Book of Mormon was there. We testified that it was the spirit and told her she could feel the spirit all ...
