Hola mi familia!!
Como estan? Yo estoy bien! Hoy es la dia de preparacion...me gusta mucho!! Porque yo necisito dormir...and lots of other stuff as well! Anyways...How's it going? Have any of you done anything interesting this past week? I know this is a big weekend for my sweet little girl, Alexandria! Someone is getting baptized!!!! How exciting! How is work? The garden? Neighbors? Tell me anything and everything!!
Anyways, I'm doing a lot better. Days here, overall, are improving. It is still an emotional rollercoaster though. There are moments throughout your day that are just so draining and taxing. Moments were I miss you all so much. But, (thank you Aunt Kim) I take a deep breath and continue pressing forward. The sisters who have here say that the experience of time at the MTC is a paradox...days are super long, they can feel like multiple days in fact and you can hardly remember what you had for breakfast and what lesson you learned that day, weeks go by fast. So far, I would definitely agree with that theory. It is amazing how spiritual experiences can really heal a wounded and aching heart. I could be having the worst moment of my life yet with the spirit it automatically improves. Like, last week when I took my first shower here I just sobbed and sobbed. I didn't know how to control my emotions. But then, out of no where this other sister that was taking a shower started to sing a hymn with her beautiful voice and my spirit lifted. I love having spiritual experiences because they always make me feel so much better about why I am here and what I am doing. The spirit is truly the Lord's blanket, hug, pat on the back, and encouragement to "go get em'!" I want to grow spiritually everyday-every moment that I can.
I'm sorry this weeks email is so short. I have a bunch of stuff to do and my laundry is done so I need to move it to the dryer now before someone tosses it away...they wouldn't really...I don't think. Thank you all so much for your words of encouragement, your thoughts, prayers, fasting, packages, letters, everything! I hope you are blessed beyond comprehension! If only my family and friends were blessed while I served this mission I would still do it- because you mean more to me than you will ever know!
Know that I am doing 100 times better and that I continue to improve each day. I'll write you as soon as I can! I love you!!
Con amo,
Hermana Kimmy Jones
