It's another beautiful day in the town of Shepherdsville in the Great
Kentucky Louisville Mission in the United States of America, God bless
it! (As President Brough would say).
Welp, turns out I'm not training! My new missionary apparently made a
last-minute decision to go home after the MTC. So yeah. My new
companion is Sister Bogardus. She's been out for one transfer longer
than I have. I'm going to miss Sister Jarman a ton, but I'm excited to
see what this new transfer will bring!
I've been thinking a lot about mothers this past week, and what an
enormous task it is. Elder Holland spoke of motherhood as a type of
Christ, "It is not only that they bear us, but they continue bearing
with us. It is not only the prenatal carrying but the lifelong
carrying that makes mothering such a staggering feat." That's exactly
what Christ does for us. He bore our sins once, and continues bearing
with us throughout our lives. I have felt Christ's awesome power this
week as He has carried me and enabled me to do what I know was beyond
my power to do.
Love you all!

I love that you are doing this blog. I love seeing her pictures. It sounds like she is doing so well. That is fun that she was almost going to train. Training is so hard. But it sounds like she will have fun with this companion. Companions are so hard sometimes......and yet so fun at the same time. keep up the great work Kris!
