Standard of Truth

"Our missionaries are going forth to different nations. The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done."

-Joseph Smith

Kimberly!!!

This will be a lot shorter since I hardly have any time. But I just wanted to write and update a bit about this past week. First off, Kimberly was baptized!!! And it was a great experience for both her and everyone there. I've never seen her smile so much and be so happy, ha-ha. Her dad even came as well to support her even though he had previously said that he wasn't going to come so it was nice to see him. He's not a member but everyone went up to talk to him and stuff and it was really good. The bishop baptized her because his family was what made it all possible. His daughter is actually Kimberly's friend and so Laura, bishop's daughter, shared her testimony and it was really powerful. It was just overall a really good experience :). That's one of the best parts of being out here. You get to feel that way all the time. The rest of the week went well. We had to help someone move but luckily he was moving to a first floor apartment so we didn't have to bring it all the way to the top without an elevator. Today we have another meeting so that's why I don't have tons of time. I just wanted to say that I love you all and miss you lots. Good luck to those of you who are starting school now, ha-ha. I'll join you next January :).
