2 Transfers 2 Companions and Still Keepin the Faith
iron pills...yes i am taking them....i am trying to remember to take two every day...im on my last bottle...i really can feel an increase in energy than when i started my energy...it isnt perfect but it is much better then before.


so today my companion hermana gallardo goes home....her family is thrilled...she is devasted...you can really see all the lives she touched while she was here...she will really be missed....this is the kind of missionary i want to be....one that will touch lives by my example and my love of the gospel. 

i am in a trio with hermana chachi and hermana dardon my house companions. hermana chachi is from pèru and came to this sector/area at the same time as me. we are buddies i love hna chachi we love to joke with each other, i am helping her learn english :) she has about 7 monthes in the mission and hna dardon is from guatemala shes been in this area for roughly 4 months and has about 6 months in her mission. both are phenominal and i am really excited to work with them today....we all cried really really hard this morning for many hours while waiting to send hermana gallardo off and also when she was officially gone...her presence will be missed but during our morning studies we really could feel the saviors love, comfort, and strength to carry on with the work. we all will miss our companion and dear friend here in our house in this mission in this country, but we know we are still needed here

all i really know about my new companion and trainer is her name is hna meeks, she is from the US and she has about 6 months out on her mission...oh and other people say she works hard...and she will arrive sometime in the morning tomorrow.

there really arent that many WARD activities but the youth have their activities the relief society theirs,...and i think the primary too but to be honest the missionaries arent super involved with the ward activities...i think with time and an increase in their confidence we will plan ward activities with our less active families, recent converts, investigators and of course the ward members...but for right now i am just trying to show them i am here for them...as missionaries we try to strengthen the ward and help it grow. but we cant be the glue...the ward needs to be the glue....that way it is much more permanent...not just for a month or 5 months but for years and years...


ok now for something light to lift the mood...so we have stairs at our house that have gaps in between...i hope you know what i mean...well one day hermana chachi was walking down the stairs when i was behind them...so i did what any child with a sense of humor and lots of siblings would do....i grabbed her ankle as she was walking,.....she screamed sooo loud...i laughed soo hard! "hermana ming!" and naturally with this commotion hna dardon was curous and wandered down the stairs too...."AHHHHH!!!!!! Hermana Ming!!!!!!" hahahahahaha so much fun and so much laughter i really couldnt resist it!!! so worth it! sadly hna gallardo stayed upstairs just yelling to find out what happened and then ran down stairs too fast for me to catch her too....but my oh my did i laugh HARD.  that really helped us to bond, relax, and just enjoy each others company...because as missionaries we need a break and fun too...that is one thing i definitely learned here..

i love you all and i want you to read 2 nephi 4:20 and the first half of 21...it really helped me today

 (20 My God hath been my asupport; he hath led me through minebafflictions in the wilderness; and he hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep.
 21 He hath filled me with his alove,)

hermana konrie ming

keep the faith and work hard
not the actual staircase just a visual image for you - ha
