this week my testimony grew lots about how much heavenly father loves us. let me explain and confess something. in the mission, towards the end of the transfer, the missionaries tend to get a little worn out. the numbers tend to go down quite a bit the last week of every change. i won't lie, i have been guilty of that a couple of times in the last year. this last week was the last week of the change and i was feeling a little exhausted and didn't have a huge desire to go out and work. all i really wanted to do was sit on the couch and eat a chocolate cake like the fat kid in "matilda". (since we started our diet i haven't eaten sweets in so long and i was craving some chocolate). but i knew i needed to be a good example to my companion so i sucked it up. we started out and went to visit an investigator, ivonne. we shared about the book of mormon (wow, if you want to talk about a difficult woman i will tell you all about her. she said she is "divorced" from God cause she's a little perturbed with Him. ha) and then she goes into the kitchen and comes out with chocolate cake. heavenly father knows the desires of our hearts, and when we are obedient to His will, He always blesses us.
i hope you all set some good goals this year. i know i did. it is going to be a good 2012 full of lots of changes and excitement! heck, who knows? maybe jesus will even come visit us! i love you all more than words can express. have a fabulous week.
love,
kelli jean, hruss.
peace+love
