Sister Kassidy Walstad: Entering last week of transfer #4? what?

This week was the first week I was able to say genuinely that I love the mission. I have tried convincing myself that I love it, and I have had moments that I love, but as a whole, it was the first time I felt that way. The first time I was able to say "I could do this forever." That feeling didn't necessarily last but the fact that I had it is a miracle to me. I'll share a couple experiences from this week:)

We set a baptismal date with Sirleine. I basically had a one-on-one conversation with the Spirit during this lesson at one point. It was such a cool feeling and moment for me. I felt so directed in that lesson because I knew it wasn't me coming up with what to say next. This was the moment I understood what people mean by "The mission is the best thing ever."

Also when we found that family in the pouring rain... The enemy tries to ruin the work. I know he tries to make the work look harder or not satisfying at times...like who wants to walk in the pouring rain just to be rejected over and over...? Nobody. But then we're reminded that it's not that bad because we get to feel like we accomplished something great at the end of every day. That’s how it is out here. I know The Savior is on my side. I am so excited to see the progress of planted seeds over the next months of my mission.

Mom sent me an email this week with a reminder that God will always send little "love notes," so my love note this week came in the scriptures. I want to invite you all to read 1 Thessalonians 5:) It's just a good reminder for everyone.

Blue Popsicle: I spoke and sung at the New Beginnings of the Young Women in my ward. It was a very cool experience. I'm the "Madilyn Paige" of my mission;)
