So we had our interviews with our new mission president! Pres smith is sooo dang legit! he is really cool! and super super chilll. like we basically get along really well. i was making jokes during our interview and he was joking!! i had to say. "ok now imma get real serious here." hahaha he is really cool! i really just want to help out in the mission as much as i can! Im not going to be a passenger, im going to be a rider. question of the week.

Who sets apart a prophet?
the winner recieves an imaginary high five! WOOO!!!! haha oh my im in such a good mood today! seriously so much has happened this past week. ok lets start after the interviews. Oh pres smith kept saying, good girl! atta girl! hahaha and i'd go. mmmhmmm! hahahah OH HAPPY LATE PIONEER DAY!!!!!!! WOOOOOO So we met with our amazing returning member TIRA BACON!!! and she brought her little sister! she is adorable! oh i just love tira so much! i never want to let her go when we hug!! then it gets awkward after about 3 seconds haha so we laugh and hug again!! She has started to spread the gospel! telling everyone her choice to come back and people are being really accepting about it! this gospel has changed her soo dang much!! ooo i just love her!!!

So... ( drum roll) Kim Lewis is officially Kim Mobbley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (crowd goes ahhhhhhhh!!) Her wedding went soo well! it was a small wedding! she looked like an angel :) Gorgeous!! i took a few videos for yall! ill send them home. because this computer is too slow for normal. BUT! it was so awesome!!! that day was an awesome day. ok lets start over. we made kim and brandon a present. study journals in which we decorated with stuff we cut out of ensigns and such and then we wrote our testimonies in them :) they loved it! brandon even gave us a hug... awkward because we didn't want to but it just happened... ahhh!!!!! but that morning we did some service then went and got ready. we walked to sister sharon pitts and talked to her. she told us a story about her gaining a testimony of the atonement. me and sis g were teary eyed! the spirit was soo strong! we took a picture after and we just walked away in awe. sister pitts is an incredible woman and she is so amazing!! i never want to leave her!! when we left her house you could feel a difference. it was just incredible! unbelievable! woah. thats a good way to describe our experience there. woah.

Then at the wedding, we got some potential gators and it was just beautiful! OH!!! Me and sis G signed the license as witnessess!!! WE WERE THE WITNESSES!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON!!! Oh my so dang cool!! we felt pretty dang legit.  oh oh. before the wedding the cauzys daughter was getting baptized and the oldest son david got the melchizedek priesthood right before. we teared up in that too! me and david made eye contact and he was emotional, i was emotional. we smiled slightly and i looked away because tears were about to pop out of my eyes!!!! but the wedding right! it was purple. that is kim's fav color! the ward did soo much to help it was amazing!! kim was going around hugging everyone. we were standing back letting her enjoy the moment. then she ran over to us and we all hugged and our eyes got teary eyed... again!! we hugged for a good solid 10 seconds! PHEW!! hahaha brother johnson was getting good pics of us lol. oh my what a night!!! then we ate food. we talked with everyone. and it ended.

now this is where it gets interesting.

the zone leaders call us asking how it went. they are in our ward so we talk to them all the time! we're all going to be friends for ever! we're gonna make sure of it ;) but we kind of felt bad that they couldnt make it :/ oh well! now we're preparing for Kims baptism on saturday!! OH OH OH!!! when we were all talking at the wedding. we brought up kims baptism and someone asked brandon if he was getting baptized. and he said "I will real soon" me and sis G looked at each other and said WHAT!! hahahha we were like Brandon you've got to wake up for our lessons more!! hahhahaha really funny!!

Then at church it was so awesome! like my fave sunday ever!!! we had a row! a row.. ;) Tira, me, sis g, kim, denis, and joseph. WOAH! and we still had gators who didn't make it!!! SO EXCITING!! so let me tell you about denis. denis peters is jeremy sanders cousin. jeremys family is less active and non members he is the only one that goes. jeremy is 17 and is super sweet. a real cool kid. denis just moved in. and we have been working with sis bowden. jeremys mom. and so we went over there a few weeks ago. and denis was there. we gave him a BoM and came back.. he has come to church 2x. he just got out of the army and is just really cool! he moved around a lot and he is a drummer. He isn't huge or real tall. has a bunch of tattoos and wants to learn more about our religion. He has been reading and praying! yesterday we had a lesson with him and he really opened up to us! it was so cool! oh he is 24 and has no kids. hallah! Denis and Sis G are soo much alike! its crazy cool!!! but when Denis came to church yesturday he was wearing shorts, sneakers, and a shirt with no sleeves. (like the work out ones with no sides either) and he came. he really enjoyed it. he was telling us later that day that he really liked how no one judged him for how he looked. everyone was super nice and welcoming! he had never seen that before. oh my we just love denis! when we were teaching him. we told him how we see him. and i want to tell ya'll what we told him because its beautiful!

We said" We see you standing tall in a white buttoned shirt and a tie, holding the priesthood. we see a chosen son of God who is trying to do the right thing. we see a loving caring son of a father in heaven who wants his son to be happy. we see so much potential in you denis. you have so much you are here to do!" i cant remember the words we said. but the spirit was definetly there. we told him how much God loves him and we know this because of the love we have for him ourselves. so all the other times we met he wouldn't pray out loud. but this day he did!! and it was a beautiful prayer!!! we always have really good laughs with him. we 3 will be friends for life!! haha it was funny. on thursday we met with him too and he was saying how we tricked him!! we were like what? how?. he read the last tab, and it said "after you read these things..." so he is reading the whole book of mormon before he prays and asking if its true. right now he doesnt doubt that it is hahah it was just really funny! "YOU TRICKED ME!!!" what? Denis! no we didnt... he is really special. we love him and he will get baptized someday!

Welp that is all i have to share. OH WAIT! today we went to the tallahasse museum with sister nelms and her 2 yr old daughter adeline. so much fun!! really cool place! there was a tiger there and that was cool. and a lot of historical stuff. i really really REALLY wanted to jump all the gates and go inside and touch everything and go into the secret rooms n stuff. but a skirt restricks ya a wee bit! hahaha sister nelms is so cool! LOVE HER!! but so many sketers!! ya'll think you know what bad mosquitos are.. ha! no! come down here and you get eaten alive! our one member friend kathy clark. she went out side her back yard for like 5 mins and got over 68 sketer bits. OVER 68! they stopped counting then. hahaha crazy!! i love bug spray. it reminds me and sis g of girls camp lol. oh little tip. dont spray it in the car. even with the air on high. you choke and die!!! haha also sunscreen doesn't cover the smell of bug spray lol. oh the things we learn!! im lovin it! the summer has been pretty wet! and hey! summer is 1/2 over! im surviving!! no im kicking summers butt! until we have to ride bikes... i lose then... but anyway! thats all for now folks!!! dont take for granted all the blessing ya'll have! oh how merciful the Lord is unto us all!! WOOOOO hahahaha oh my im having to much fun typing! ok bye love ya!

LOVE
Sister Milne the awesome posom. (so many dead ones here...)

Thank you!

HEY!

Ok thanks for everything that yall have done for me :) seriously i recieve every blessing i get because of you! not even playin!! so i have an important notice. Kims baptism and wedding are canceled.... hahahah just kidding! they're just moved back a week due to finances and stuff!! so this saturday is the real date :) oops! surprise! hurray!!! so this week has been strange. like mind strange. my mind has been gone! aparently just gone!! things have happened and sis G was freaking out about them and i was like. what? when did this happen? and she says Just Now!! im in a weird mind place. blaaa! so i felt really out and not in the loop. for most of the week! its not a real good feeling. it was like when you were little and you'd go to the table where the grown ups are talking. and you have no idea what they are saying and they wont say things because your there! ya know what im sayin? so that was rough but one day i just lost all my effort to put on a smile and be bold and flexable! i was quiet and i was not in a great mood. i felt bad afterwards. but it was like i just couldn't do it! and then my companion was like I knew you were not optomistic! i knew it was hard for you!!!. ok 1. you dont know anything. 2. you dont have any idea what goes on inside my brain. 3. its really sweet that yo u think about me though :) 4. i still love you! pro con. pro con. so there were events this week where i took deep breaths. went to the bathroom. held a smile and prayed! hahaha but that just adds to all the fun. i know who im not. and im learning who i am. no one can change that, no one every truely knows me except Christ and Heavenly Father... possibly my mom.. and dad... and siblings... ok my family knows me pretty dang well! Being a missionary is so hard! there is an expectation of missionary behavior. and some people are more keen on keeping that. i try to just be myself. Im being exactly obediant so i know i have no need to fear. its just little things those around me say that make me question, everything. :P But im working on it. im getting stronger. at least i pray i am haha ok thats it from drama debby! back to fun fanny! haha

Updates:

Tira Bacon. She is doing sooooooo goooood!! she bought us giant cupcakes and chocolate covered stawberrys from publix. hello deliciousness!! she is soo kind and sweet she is doing sooo good! oh my i cant even explain the love we have for her! she is not only awesome, funny, gorgeous, kind, has a really good testimony, strong, she is just over all amazing! its hard when yall dont know her but words can not describe the love we have for her! she came to church this sunday and she got a blessing. she was crying the entire sunday. :) and after church she met with the bishop! she is doing dang good now! like shes in it for real! tonight we're going to her softball game and she is feeding us :) she seriously is spoiling us haha so her family is way anti mormon. like hates us. k? remember that. now we were texting tira. (we txt alll the tiimmmemeee scriptures and stuff. daily contact) and we acidentally called her. for our phone is a brick lol we love it though! anyway we called her and she told us how she had gone to her dad crying(she lives with him.(divorced parents.)) telling him about how she felt and us the missionaries and about how this gospel makes her happy, and she aparently expressed her love for us.. lol and he said that we're welcome in his home... Wait What?!? We can go over there!!!!!!!!!!! The Lord softens peoples hearts! and that day we fasted, before she told them her decision. this is a result of that! OH HOW MERCIFUL THE LORD IS!! You can definetly see the spirit working on people. amazing. simply amazing! so we were screaming on the phone for a good solid 5 mins:) screaming and laughing! we never say i love you enough to her! its hard to not say it always!! tonight is going to be way fun! oh my! we just love her!! we (sis g and i) are here for Her! and She brought us here! WOW!! OH MY GOSH!!!!

 

Kim Lewis (almost Mobbley). Still coming to church!! WOOP WOOP! Brandon even came this last sunday!! yay!! and they met with the bishop after church. they let us be there too. saturday at 7 the wedding starts!! woooo! they asked us to be the 2 witnesses haha what? am i old enough to be a witness? hahaha we said sure! and if we're not suppost to, we will find out lol. but they are sooo sweet! like they cutest couple ever! he is tall and broad with short dreads, and scruffy! he loves basketball too. than kim is short and cute! with short spiky dreads haha they basically have the same hair! soo cute! oh my if you see them, you would be all smiles and awes too! too cute to be legit! ;) so we had a lesson with her just a few hours ago actually :) her wedding dress comes in tomorrow! and brandon was at the lesson. and they were talking about how he knows what shoes she should wear. and he'll clean them for her if she finds them :) so adorbale!!!!!!!! they have this deep love. and its the most beautiful thing in the world! he is so sweet and kind to her. the love he has for our kim is out of this world! and she loves him too!! so we had followed up on their reading. and we had taught the law of chasity a few times back. (fore we have gotten real good at teaching that, not awkard at all! cool eh?) and kim had told us that they were still practicing the chasity until they're married. she can see their relationship change, its more deeper and more... lovey? hahah i dont know the word im thinking of. but then i guess brandon had told her that he really wants to wait to do anything until they're married to make it more special :) awe! He said that!! and he like just became a gator yesterday!! haha soooooooo coooool!!! everyone! live the law of chasity! its great!! hahaha! you recieve soo many blessings! oh my i cant wait to send home pictures of Kim and Brandon :):) They are just the cutest couple ever!! and they want to be sealed in the temple someday! He said he wants that!! and so does Kim!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Oh my If only we could just hang out with Kim and Brandon ALL Day!! you know we would ;) she is always sad when we have to leave haha so are we! she wants to go out with us after she is baptized and she really wants a sleepover after our missions :) She is so prepared! she was saying today. like what kind of person would i be if you guys hadn't knocked on my door? what would i be doing! and its true! This gospel changes lives! there are people in the area your sent to go share the gospel to! and you never really know this to be true until you find those your supposed to find :):)

 

Those are the two big ones :) oh how much i love them!! Remember how i was saying this week was up and down? yes the downs were like great black holes, i couldn't see an end. then the ups were like floating in clouds! i never want to come down haha It is always nice to really know how much your appreciated. i never realized how much sister Garten thought of me. never! so we have a trio for a day and a half. ( a campus sis went home cause she had a concusion, so we had her comp until the STLs could take her. so basiclaly we were bbsitting ;)) but I realized how much i love my companion! i dont know what i would do with out her! she and i are made for each other.  yes we argue and we annoy each other and we want to punch each other. but the love that we have is deeper and more everlasting! no matter what she says or does i love her! i pray she feels the same way!! haha anyway so friday was an awful day. absolutely aweful. we had one apt and dinner. thats it. and all our gators were out of town or not home or something. so we tracted, contacted referrals, tried visiting people, i think we almost did everything in the books. and it was raining so not many people were out. it was awful. after dinner we decided to tract this one hood and we got 2 new gators. they seemed legit! (one bailed a lesson though :() and then we did more somewhere else and it was a no go. we pulled out the roaster and chose a name we didnt know. we go. she was home. We had the Best Lesson ever! it was a family! the member is 73 and from the phillipeans she only speaks tagalic. and she lives with her daughter and husband and 3 kids. we taught them, they got BoMs and we testified!! they said theyd come to church. not all of them did, but it was still really cool! (they fed us really cool brownines with peanut butter in it! BRILLIANT)  but the day was so rough and than we went home with a bang! Oh how merciful the Lord is unto the children of men! There are just some people here that i know ill be friends with for life :) its nice to know that too!!!! ok well thats all i have for now. phew thats alot of typing! i need to eat some lunch i am so hungry im ganna die!!  Everyone! be safe! the Book of Mormon is the convincing evidence that this gospel is true. so. go read it! I love you all!

Hey!

so some weeks go by faster and then some go slower. then there are some where i dont remember anything! ahh!!! So we met our new mission president! Pres and sis Smith! they are sooo cool! not even playin, they are so legit! they aren't too big on pushing for exact obediance but i think that is just because we're already obediant :) he is more into the Lord is your judge and your spirituality! so much fun! this is going to be FUN!! haha idk what else to say about them. they are super funny and crack jokes, super laid back and just easy and fun to be with!!

So yall remember the wedding and baptism this weekend and next? we're pushing it back a week. But kim is sooo dang cute! she is so funny! oh my i just love her sooo much!! when we go over. im so happy to be inside her apt. outside... eeck. gross ex gators who asked me on dates! so much weed and pot! and nasty guys everywhere! so when i say i walk fast towards her door. i. walk. fast... hahaha just picture it in your minds. me in a skirt sprinting to a door!! haha beautiful picture eh? oh my soo funny! but we just love teaching her! she never wants us to leave! and we never want to leave either haha so we definetly use the Full HOUR! and cherish every moment! than we go back in 2 days :) even when we taught the law of chasity and word of wisdom :) FUN!! wierd right? and her fiance brandon likes us. he sat in on our lesson today too. she is so easy to teach! she agrees and knows and wants to do it all!! she got the gospel library app and downloaded EVERYTHING!! she is set for basically life hahahahaha. i  love h er sooooo much!! she is so amazing! i do not want to get transfered! i want to be here when she gets baptized and everything! ahhh!! so ill be praying for her and for that! Kim Lewis almost Mobbley :) SO CUTE!! ugh i just love her soo much! like if yall met her you would love her too! she is just... Golden!

This week we fasted with Tira Bacon. friday we did. we fasted together! she had decided that she was going to commit to the gospel 100% and so that meant telling her parents who are anti mormons... she was so scared! but she loves the gospel soo much! and everything that has been happening these past few weeks have been eye opeing! i can remember the first time we met her. we just saw her name on the roster as less active. and so we didnt have that many gators so we would try to go see them! but with Tira we tried like 4 or 5 times. and the last time we were going to try her. she wasnt there. so we wrote on a sticky note and left. that was it! we have a 5 strike rule just so that we can use our time efficiently and effectivley. so we dropped her. and we didnt even know her. than a few days later we get a call. it was TIRA!!! we met with her on wednesday! she had met with sisters before and it was awful! they didnt like each other and they didnt like Tira so she didnt get anything out of it. and that was like 3 months before we met her. so eek! so we got to know her. figured out what she needs. and started small. pray in your heart. pray in your head! she didnt want to pray out loud or read her scriptures. def not come to church. so we accepted it and said to pray in her heart! and we text her pretty much every day. and now today!! she is praying and reading and coming to church!! when people say that your sent to an area for a reason. its true. and it is amazing. you watch it happen right before your eyes!. WOW! haha Tira is so amazing!! we always tell her how much we love her! and she always says it back :) she told us the other week that she wouldn't be here today if it were not for us two. us TWO!! it takes 2! uh! so amazing!! how much i love tira bacon! soooo much love!! wooooooooooooo

we had an awkward lesson with a part member family. he was all tattood and had tons of peircings. and quiet! sis guittar. (member) told us a few days eariler when we were setting it up that he had a potty mouth and a dirty mind... so we were like. great! this will be so fun... ,:/ haha sis guittar is so amazing! she just had a baby. who is like the cuttest baby ever!!! and than she is trying to get back into the swing of things with the church! her husband works at walmart, and is kind of scary! she loves him though. and they have such a beautiful baby! but it was just really really awkward! like super awkward...

we also did trade offs this week so i went into another area. and i have realized at that moment how much i love tally 1st ward! so much! i belong here! this is where my people are!! hahah it was weird realizing it! but i also LOVE the ghetto! there werent any ghetto parts that they went into. and i missed it! wierd eh? but i felt out of place and wierd when i was with sister medlyn! oh my sister medlyn is so amazing!! she is so strong and is just an amazing missionary!!

Fact: i hate tracting.

Fact: you meet a lot of people walking

Fact: shoes with holes in them get wet faster

Saturday we literally had nothing planned.. all our gators we had apts with them for another day. so we walked and tracted. :P the really cool part was. we met some flippen awesome people! a guy from Jamaica who had a really strong  belief in God, a guy who used to live in UT who use to take the lessons but not anymore. but he was so grateful for what we do. then a guy from an indian reservation who talked to us for like 45 mins! he was so sweet! he gave us mint plants...(more plants. people keep giving us plants.. obviously we need to pick up on something. random strangers giving us plants??)  and he talked about his belief. something about the milky way and then an eagle/hawk that you would have to pass to get to heaven. so if your righteous you'll pass him but if your wicked you have to fight him? im not sure exactly all that he said! he also taught us some indian words... which i have forgotten! but it was really cool!!!! hahah and than a guy who was on a break from recording a cd music! crazy! then his band came out and we left! hahaha really interesting day!! we ate at the grays and had such a fun time! when we eat with the Elders. its always super funny! haha oh i love when the members feed us!!

Relief society was so amazing!! so amazing! sister Marcia Neely-Bey taught. holy flip!! amaizng !!!! my new quote from that lesson is that we are RIGHTOUS GOD FEARING WOMEN!

So we decided to walk to church yesturday and so we were walking. and we were not walking fast enough. so we were behind schedule. the elders saw us and gave us a ride. i felt bad because we had planned to walk.. but they are so sweet for giving us a ride! after church we were going to walk home and eat a sandwich and make phone calls. we told the elders what we were doing. we didn't really want to make them give us a ride home because of miles and such. :( THEN Kathy Clark. an amazing member. pulls up and says that she is giving us a ride home :) the grandaughter inside said to stop! awe :) she said we were her favorite missionaries :) and then the elders called us and wanted to make sure we were not walking home. because it was a long walk. and they wanted to make sure we were being taken care of. i told them Kathy Clark gave us a ride! SO SWEET!

It just made me realize how sometimes it seems like we're all alone and nobody cares or sees us. but really the Lord is watching out for us and is doing all He can to help us! WOAH! how awesome is that! woo! hahaha and than another epiphany i had was that when im in a rough spot and i just want to leave and be done. i need to remember all the good times! all the people that have shown us love! and think about all the people that I love!! look towards the light, not the darkness! woo!! woah this is a LONNG letter. sorry everyone! hahah good bathroom reading material right here! oh also i love the Gaskin Family!! legit southern people! bro gaskin reminds me of my dad.. its strange but bro gaskin is sooo funny!! so funny!! when we taught the lesson we told them to write down on the cards we gave them names that come to their minds. so bro gaskin did right away. we thought like YESSS!! then after when we asked who they all wrote down. he said he wrote down his enemys and his friends. ahahhahahah oh my we LOVE eating at their house! so fun! well thats all for now folks! stay true to the faith! live right. and dont do drugs!

LOVE
Sister Milne

21 letter and some pictures!!

Hey! how yall doin?

So this past week has been a WOAH statement! like not even playen! First of all, being changed into what the Lord wants you to be is hard. Like my aunt Audrey said. The Lord is stretching me and im growing! im glad its happening now instead of at the end of my mission... No regrets! But urrg! can i just see the end result but... that would ruin the whole moment! :P well i never realized how us as missionaries can change a persons attitude just by walking up and talking to them! there was this guy we knew, and he was sitting on the steps in front of this house. we walked up and just started making small talk, gave him a BoM, testified. He jumped up came down the few steps of stairs and shook our hands thanking us... We were a little taken back. He was having a really hard day and was having to make big decisions and what we had said gave him hope and light!

Even though we talked for like 5 mins, the spirit touched his heart and changed him! he is now a gator :)

Do yall remember Kim? Kim from the pot hood? well we taught her!! and we comitted her to be baptized!! wooo!!! on the 27 of july :) (breannas birthday) but she is engaged to her fiance brandon. so we taught the law of chasity... its still awkward sometimes hahaha. but she said she wants to get married so that she can get baptized!!! wooo!! so she is going to get married on the 20 of july! (sis gartens sisters bday) WOOH!!! she had been praying and reading and its just amazing!!!

President Jensen has officially left and President Jensen is officially in charge! we hear he is super funny :) we get to meet him tomorrow tuesday :) thatll be awesome! elder buchannon said that there are going to be BIG changes! woooooo!! hahaa

Happy late 4 of july!! :):) we went over to mamma hollets for lunner :) so good! i ate till i was going to throw up! hamburgers, ribs, hot dawgs, potato salad, beans! so many sweets! oh my heavenly!! heavenly!! i love mamma hollet she is so amazing!! we try to do everything we can for her! we were helping her paint her house the day before :) light green! super cute in case you were wondering :) we try to spoil her, she takes such good care of us! WE LOVE HER!! she bought us goodie bags for helping her paint. earings, a necklace, headband with a flower on it!! AHH! seriously... she . spoils. us! i feel like these past few transfers people have been giving us so much! its super sweet! and it pushes us to do more good deeds for the ward!!

So this couple wanted to take us sisters and elders out to eat. they said to pick a place! so we talked with the elders who told us to pick a place. so me and sis g did. Indian food. haha me and sis g loved it! the rest.. eeh.... we felt super bad! but they gave that responsibility to us! and we gave them a few options! hahaha it was a super funny dinner! i love the Grissets! they are super nice!!!

Umm what else. this members little 4 year old boy was throwing things at us... he was in a bad mood and decided to take it out on the missionaries... super awkward!

our car knows how to swim now. we were flying through giant puddles of muddy water to get to members houses ahahhaha so scary dnagerous and fun! dont tell the ZLs though they get cautious and nervous... hahahhahahahahaha

Kim came to CHURCH!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!! oh my and so did TIRA! i havent said much about her but she is a returning member and her family is SUPER anit-mormon! but she is 21 and has a super strong testimony!!! and she came to church! some of the things she texts us makes us teary eyed! she always says how she wouldn't be here with out us. We tell her how much we love her and how much more Heavenly Father loves her! she is so incredible! we love her so much! i just want to hug her forever and tell her how proud i am of her! i than realized, that if i feel this much love for her when she starts doing the things the Lord asks of her, how much more is Heavenly Father proud of us! i could seriously squeeze her till i kill her! i love her soooo much!!

Now on to the story with Kim... KIM GETTIN MARRIED!!!!!! than BAPTIZED!! wooooooooooooooooooooooooo so flippen happy! one family member had a baby blessing and than invited us over after, and told us that Kim could come too! they were going to help plan her wedding. so we go. not much happened. we could only stay for an hour :P but Kim was doing so good! so we left and a few hours later we get this call from brother Johnson saying that they have finished planning the wedding. Kim is going to borrow sis johnsons wedding dress. i guess she tried it on and started crying!! (inside we're like "WHAT WE MISSED THATTTTT?!?!?!?!??!?!?!")  and then they just went ahead and planned her baptism! sis g is saying the opening prayer and i am giving a talk, no more than 5 mins... (inside we're like...what just happened.) All we have to do is show up! finish teaching Kim, get her interviewed and than show up!!! WHAATT?!?!?!?! So amazing! they're doing everything!! we have such an amazing ward!!! they are doing it all!!!
Kim wants this soo bad! and her fiance brandon supports her completly!! he said she can convert him when she's converted! she is learning so much so fast! and loves church and the whole dynamic of it! she really loves relief society!! so much fun!! Kim is soooooo cute!!! i seriously just hug her for like 14 seconds. hahah she is so cute!! and the ward loves her!! ahhh!!!! we're having a wedding and a baptism!!!!!!!!!!! and we dont have to really plan anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

basically i love being a missioniary!! this transfer is going to be epic!!

Keep enduring to the end! stay strong! pray to Heavenly Father!

Sister Milne the awesomest!

20th Letter!!

Well hey there

 

It was the last week of my 3rd transfer out as a missionary! weird. I have to confess. I have realized how awful i am!! sad haha but I never really apreciated all the things i had, all the people i knew, all the love i felt, i never thanked people enough, i didn't say i love you enough, i didnt show how much people meant to me! i wasnt as greatful as i should have been, my testimony was weak and i went through a lot of motions, ive made mistakes in my life, i've hurt people who didn't need to be hurt, i've not been the daughter Heavenly Father sent to the earth. Ive been rude, mean, sassy, snappy, a brat, ungratful, and inconsiderate! i didnt take advantage of the blessings i was recieving. I have NOW realized this! and im sorry. i am simply so sorry! to everyone who was effected by me. This past week has been a struggle. Im not gonna lie (for im a missionary). i have cried a lot this week because i feel so guilty and unworthy of everything that is happening to me. all the mail and blessings. im not worthy of it. and im so so sorry for all that ive done wrong in my life! from hitting my siblings and yelling at them. to being late to curfew. i. am. sorry. I have felt sick a bunch this week. i dont know why all the things ive done wrong are coming into my mind this past week. im  feel like my eyeballs are being opened.... i want them closed. but they are opening :/ and i just feel awful!

I want to change. I want to start a new! i have been repenting ALL WEEK! soo much repenting!! and there needs to be a better  word for im sorry! because im using it tooo much! I want to right the wrongs ive done in my life. and i will. just know that who ever is reading this and i've hurt you in some way. I know. and im truly sorry! ill make things better. I have been trying to go and do my will a lot of the time. but im not happy. im not! and its never really clicked that the only way to find TRUE HAPPINESS! is by doing what my Heavenly Father wants me to do. I dont know how i need to do this. i still dont know how to understand what the Holy Ghost is telling me sometimes. Im not perfect and i never will be. but i can strive to be like Christ. Who IS perfect in every way! gosh! i wish he was just here in the flesh right now to talk to me and make everything better! Life would be so much easier!! but I need to learn this, i need to understand. and that is what im going to do.

Today is a new day.

Im a new person today! and i will be a Celestial Missionary, I will be the missionary and the person Heavenly Father, Christ, and my parents know i am.
