Sister Kassidy Walstad: Baixos e altos

This week was good.. we had divisions with the leader sister leaders..? sister training leaders... I think that´s right. And we had pizza that day. Also, we had multi zone and that´s always fun! President is awesome and I was able to get a blessing from my zone leader. The priesthood is so amazing, in the fact that a person I barely know was able to say exactly what I needed to hear. Those of you who have that authority... use it!

We had a day where we worked from 8:30 am until after 9 pm. We were literally out walking and working for more than 12 hours. We had to leave early because we had an early commitment. I got SO sunburned, holy cow!! But it was a good day.

We worked with the son of the bishop who recently returned from Portugal. By recent I mean 6 days ago recent. He served in the same mission as Tanner (James) Smith! So cool huh!!? When Tanner came home one year ago (right?) he had been serving in the same mission as the son of my first bishop in the mission. I had a connection with my first area before I even knew it! Cool huh?

We marked 4 baptisms this week, which made 5 for day 20 and 27 of the month. But the husband of a family that we had 3 marked for baptism, called and cut us off. We don´t know why, and will pass by this week to see what happened. But wow that was hard. We have so many pesquisadores here. It´s so great, but way tough. Our area is HUGE! We don´t know how to cover it all. Haha! It´s seriously so big, and all by foot. But it´s good because we eat a ton.

I love you all so much and one of my comps from the CTM had this subject for her email this week: "Warheads are like serving a mission." It is so true.. and honestly I´m still tasting some of that almost unbearable, painful sour but the sweet is starting to come through little by little. The mission has already taught me lessons I know I could never have learned at home. Keep praying every day. God wants to talk to you. He wants to hear from you. Don´t keep quiet...
