Gone Like a Whirlwind

Hello! This week blew by so fast I have no clue how it is Monday. It has probably been one of the busiest weeks as well. I started with District Council and exchanges on Tuesday to President interviews on Wednesday and being stuck in a tour of the local library for 2 hours or more. Which led to me not biking for a full two days...crazy right! I am grateful for the Hermanas for being willing to take us places. Wednesday as I mentioned before getting stuck. We where with the Hermanas going around and finding opportunities to do service we tried the Salvation Army but we aren't so sure about that any more. The senior center no one was at the front desk so we stood awkwardly for awhile before we wrote a note and left. And headed to the Library and they were so excited to have us willing to serve. But a lady gave us a tour and we only went over 2 sections and it took two hour by then it was time for dinner and correlation. Thursday we got to serve a member! It was the best I am excited for fall! We found Karen last Monday and she loves the commercials that the church produces and the spirit she feels. She is super excited to met with us. It is cool all the ways the church is making it self known. We were biking yesterday and trying to find 4 people to accomplish our goal but when we turned a corner we saw an older lady taking her leaves. We knew we had to stop. Before we started she asked if we were "Mormons" she knew because missionaries in the past have helped her take her yard and said that they were so kind. We helped her as she cleaned up her yard. She told us later that we were 'mircales' and a answer to her prayer. Her son was suppose ro help her but when she went in and got the tools he had left. Has we served her we talked and she mentioned how she had read the Book Of Mormon and she liked it. Even though we didn't hit our finding goal I knew God had answered my prayers from that morning and throughout the day to be an instrument in His Hands. I was studying about Jesus Christ being our advocate. And I just had a thought about how lucky I was that there was someone who was willing to live my life and suffer my sins and afflictions to be able to stand with me at Judgment to plead for my cause. It blows my mine when I think that he did it not just for me but for everyone. I want to do everything I can to be worth of that gift. I love being able to serve a mission and be able to get to serve Gods children. Love ya, Sister Kemp I decided I wanted some pretzels bites so I made some. Yumm!
