Make,

ya this week has been pretty good we taught some very prideful people and thats something i don't enjoy. I'm beginning to be pretty quick with my scriptures almost all main doctrine points. but the other day we taught this seven day Adventist guy and he just spouts out scriptures that have nothing to do with the topic. one thing that you will find is that most religions just have one thing that they will just repeat over and over. like this guy all he cared about was that the seventh day is on saturday so we should worship on saturday and so i showed him the scripture and explained the fulfillment of the law of moses and he just was too prideful to listen. but ya mission is cool. love you

Sunday Best!

Hope!

2 Nephi 31: 19 & 20

19 And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save. 20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: 

Ye shall have eternal life.

Hope is: the feeling that what is wanted can be

had or that events will turn out for the 

best.

Blessed is the man

 that trusteth in the Lord, and whose 

hope the Lord is.

I hope your Sunday was the Best!

Mama,

 

I hope thing are bien for you. I an doing pretty fantastico. We had my first baptism yesterday. It was pretty freakin' AWESOME! He is a cool guy. We could tell he was nervous, and then while we were waiting, he started crying. But not just crying. He was BAWLING! We asked him if he was okay and he told us he was just really happy. We did it at 9 in the morning, and he got confirmed during our sacrament meeting at 11. It was really cool.

 

Sister Vaughn is going home this week. We got our transfer calls this morning, and my new companion is going to be Sister Summers, who actually was roommates with Sister Vaughn before they both came out on their missions. She sounds pretty cool. Sister Vaughn wants to stay another transfer now, and be in a trio with us, because she has always wanted to serve with Sister Summers. So that's exciting. I'm sad Sister Vaughn is leaving, but at the same time, it is time to move on.

 

Anyway, our Sunday was great too. We have 6 investigators at church, and one of them we just barely met yesterday, and he got up and bore his testimony! Kind of. As much as someone who doesn't know how to do it can. But it was really cool.

 

Anyway, I probably better go now. Love you lots. Be strong!

 

Love, Hermana Kelsey

 

XOXOXOXOX

 

P.S. Wasn't Riley going to write me a letter and send it with that package you sent?!

 

Papi,

 

I learned a new thing in spanish. It is about fathers, so I'll tell it to you.

 

"Yo como una papa, no como a mi papa (accent on a)

(I eat a potato, I don't eat my dad)

Una papa es comida, un papa (accent on a) es mi padre"

(A potato is food, a papa is a father)

 

It's funny in spanish, but not really in english so it's okay if you don't laugh or anything. :)

 

Anyway, this week has been pretty good. Is it still raining a lot there? That's crazy that Brad's house got flooded. Is our house doing okay? I hope so, cause I sure don't want to move!

 

Anyway, I better go now. Love you lots. Sorry these are so short, but time just doesn't mean the same thing it used to. Bye.

 

Love, Hermana Kelsey

 

Emmysaurus Rex!

 

JA JA JA JA JA JA!! You have to be in summer school?!?! That's so funny. I did that too, once upon a time. But it was pretty much the easiest class I ever took, so I didn't mind.

 

It is really really hot down here. It was been within a few degrees of 100 all week! It's craziness!!! Muy loco!! Pero, esta bien. (I hope you can understand my spanish) 

 

But anyways, Por que did you corto su pelo?! We were supposed to be having a contest! JK JK, it's all good. I'm just going to win. :)

 

What kind of changes are happening in your life? Are you're friends still moving away? I will tell you one good things about that. I know it is really hard (trust me, I REALLY do know), but when friends leave, you get to make new ones! It was super, super hard for me at the MTC when the older districts would leave, because we became such good friends with them, but then new people would come and we would be friends with them. So them you have lots and lots of friends. So it's okay. I'm pretty sure most of the people I met at the MTC will be my life long friends. :)

 

BYE. Love you lots.

 

Love, Hermana Kelsey

 

P.S. You are never too busy to write a letter. I am one of the busiest people I know and I can still write letters to people. I'm actually better at writing letters than anyone that I am writing to. :)

Sunday Best!

"I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little. If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditures exclude them."

-C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Hope your Sunday was the Best!  Love, Joy

Two Cents! By T and G.

G: "I don't like raisins."

Emily: "Why?"

G: "They are just too curious!"

"...stop accumulating..."

Andrew Carnegie, one of my heroes said, 

"I resolve to 

stop accumulating 

and begin the infinitely more serious and 

difficult task of 

wise distribution."

-------------------

I am about there. 

I have lived in my home for 14 years. I have been bringing things into my home for 14 years. I do take things out too, but too much has come in and not enough has been taken out. One day my dad was here visiting, and he looked around and said, "I can see you're still a gatherer!" Ouch! He and my mom had just moved from a 4000 square foot house, into a 2 bedroom apartment. 
How did they do it? 

"Wise distribution!" I have been wanting, needing, to stop accumulating and distribute more! I am going to work on this, I am going to stop accumulating, stop bringing things home. And make more trips to donate! Now, if I can get the others I live with to do the same, we'll be in good shape!!
