"Come on and let me buy you some coconut water!"

29 February 2016

hahaha so sister kirchhoefer and i were trying to contact some people on saturday before a dinner appointment and we were walking and both of us had to run to the restroom (I may be set apart from the world but not set apart from my terrible bladder capacity!) haha so we walked to a gas station! and i was waiting for her and saw a guy vacuuming his car at the gas station and i started talking to him "oh hey nice car!! what year is it?" (like I even really know what the difference between a 2012 ford focus and a  2015 for focus is??....) hahaha but we talk and he asked what we are doing walking around in milwaukee and i told him we are missionaries and we start talkin and we read from the book of mormon and he told us that hes met with missionaries before! anyway! long story short! His name is francis and we got his number and info! and after our exchange he said "hey...welll....let me buy you something!" and we said he didn't have to but he absolutely insisted! and so he gave us some coconut water from the gas station! it was great!!!! hoorah for human interactions! :)

       so sister kirchhoefer is my new companion! She is great!!!!! shes from colorado but lived in germany for three years till she went to study at BYU! haha shes the bomb! so grateful for her new perspective on the area and her desire to work! Shes great!!!!

       I totally miss sister Tenney, my last companion, but know she will do great in the muskego lakes ward!!!!! We had a fun last few days together!!!!!!!!!!!

      One of the absolute highlights from this week was definitely Jesse's baptism! jesse is a guy in the YSA ward who the elders were teaching! he is so wonderful and he and i have become great friends and so last week he asked me to speak at his baptism! it was MARVELOUS to just bear testimony of the sweetness of the gospel and to tell every one there that I KNEW and Jesse knew that Elder Marsh (who baptized him) had the authority given by God, to do so! It was a really great experience for me! Can't wait to see jesse receive the blessings of the priesthood!

    it was cool because in the talk i QUOTED MY FATHER!!!!!!! hahaha (shout out to my dad!!!) I said "Jesse My dad always told me, "A job worth doing is worth doing right/well" and i told him that its true in regards to his baptism! Baptism (something worth doing) is worth doing right (by someone who holds the priesthood!) it was really cool to tie those things together! Thank you dad!!!!

     i love this gospel! not just this gospel but CHRIST'S gospel!!! I know that it has been restored in fullness once again to the earth NEVER to be taken away again! how awesome is that???? BAH! what a blessed time to live on the earth!!! i just want to SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOF TOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am grateful though that i am not the teacher and the Spirit is!!!!!! what a BLESSING!!!!!!!!!! I love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because I have been Given Much I too must Give!
