Kelsie Letter: “One Hot Week!”

Hello one and all!

Wow,  this week went by sooooo fast!  We had many lessons with our favorite investigator, Eri chan, a 19 year old who is changing as she embraces the gospel.  We taught her Mon., Tues., Wed., and Friday.  On Friday I was able to do Yoga in the morning with one of our investigators and that same night we did a YSA activity of Billy Blanks Boot Camp.  I had soooooooooo much fun.  Geez, I do miss regular exercising. 

I have really come to realize how important it is to keep the commandments.  All of our happiness truly comes from our Heavenly Father and He desires our happiness, hence the commandments.  Eri chan is desiring to keep all of the commandments and it is truly helping me see the importance of them.  When she doesn’t understand one she asks questions until we explain it completely.  She will be baptized on Nov 11, but hopefully earlier.

OH YEAH!  I past off all of my lesson masteries!!!!!  I had to teach all of the 5 lessons (5 min, 15 min, and 45 min), remember, these aren’t all memorized.  I have to create them.  I must thank my Father in Heaven that my language skills are really improving.  I had to teach most of them to members, less-actives, and recent converts..it was actually quite fun.

Well, there are 4 elders waiting here to write emails so I must make this short.  I love all of you so much!

chum, thank you for the package!  I am way excited for it.   You can send all of my letters to the mission home, it only takes about 1 more day to get to me.   I would still like to see some pictures of the wedding.

Pap, thanks for the pic of the fam!  Wow, everyone is so big!

The church is true.  It does teach of about kazou no taisetsusa (the importance of families).  How grateful I am we can all be together in the eternities.

Love,

Sister Haymond
