Hello friends!! It has been a crazy week! I'll tell you why:
Great start to October this week! get ready for a story.
We have a little section of our area that is out in the boonies that is full of houses super far apart. We decided to make a goal to tract it out! There is like zero information about this part of our area in our area book so we planned to go knock doors on a few streets. The first street we chose was 160th. We found a few people who asked us to come back and then we got to the last house. Weird stuff always happens at the last house on the street. We had to walk down this long stretch of dirt road in the forest to get to it and it looked like it was abandoned or something. I thought, "maybe we shouldn't knock on this terrifying house?" but we did anyway. We knocked and then heard a small, old woman's voice saying "COME IN!". I was not about to just walk into this house. She came to the door and she was the cutest little old lady about 4 feet tall. We ended up talking to her for a while. She showed us a bunch of old pictures of her childhood and told us about her life. She was a talker, that's for sure. We told her we had to go and she grabbed my hand and said "let me read your palm, I'm very prophetic". She brought my hand to the light and told me about how I had a great love in my future and that I shouldn't try to please everyone else. She told me to be more courageous and to follow my heart. Quite surreal actually. When we were about to leave she closed her eyes for a second (probably casting a spell or something) and told us that we were protected. whaaaat??? As we walked away from the house, we were silent for a time and then after a while I broke the silence and said, "Sister Thompson, do you believe in ghosts?" hahaha We bursted out laughing and the next morning we talked about the situation a little more and decided that we met the nicest witch ever. Good times.
As we continued our journey in the woods, we were chased by two sets of dogs, and found a creepy old ice cream truck randomly molding away amidst the trees. Weird place I tell ya. I'm sure there will be more stories to come.
Here's the truck:
Sister Thompson and I had to get a good companionship photo so here we are in our heavenly glory. Pretty sure we knew each other in heaven.
I also got to see my MTC compie at zone conference earlier this week! I LOVE SISTER PACKER!!!!
Wasn't General Conference fantastic?? Our prophet and apostles lead and guide our church in righteousness and love. We had the blessing and opportunity to listen to their words and messages this past weekend. You can feel the power in their words as they speak. What they teach is true. We are so blessed to hear from them!
I have never been closer to my Heavenly Father than while I have been here serving him 24/7. I love being a missionary. I love sharing the happy truths that bring us so much peace and joy through this life. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true! Isn't it great that you are a part of it? If you aren't, get on it! I love you all! Let your light so shine before men!
Love, Sister K
