Hello hello! Long time, no write. Sorry I know I'm the worst. How is
everyone???!!! I sincerely hope that you all are doing well, and that you
enjoyed conference weekend. I have received many emails telling me that
conference was amazing, and for all of you that asked, I was totally down for
staying up all night and watching conference online. But President knows better
than me and vetoed that idea. We'll watch it next weekend at our chapel in KL
and I cannot wait! I teach people all the time about a living prophet and
apostles and how important it is that we have them to lead and guide us, and I'm
so excited to bring some investigators to see how inspired they are. I have been
praying about some specific questions that I have, and I know that conference
will answer them.
Everything with me and my companion is still great. This is our last week
together and then she's moving to Singapore and I get a new companion. My area
is the size of TEXAS so we'll see how good I am at showing her around, I hope
the poor girl is patient.
Last week I had the opportunity to go to Singapore for Zone Conference.
Okay Singapore is like a whole other world. People walk fast, public
transportation is timely and efficient, and also not falling apart. haha and the
food isn't scary or HALAL!! (halal is for Muslims) and it's nasty.
We had one Sister a couple of weeks ago get deported back to her home
country in Tonga so we were all nervous to go through immigration at the
airport, so we fasted and prayed and Heavenly Father answered our prayers and
allowed all 28 of us make it through without any problems.
Something that I want to share with you all today is a missionary quote
from Brigham Young, he says:
There is neither man nor woman not on a mission. That mission will last as
long as they live, and it is to do good, to promote righteousness, to teach the
principles of truth, and to prevail upon themselves and everybody around them to
live those principles that they may obtain eternal life.
As missionaries we are not doing our job unless we leave a commitment with
anybody that we meet with. So today I want to ask you all to commit to NEVER
apologize for your standards. I think we sometimes feel embarrassed for what we
believe in. To be a missionary you don't have to do anything extraordinary. You
just have to live what you know to be true no matter where you or who you are
with. The price we pay for sticking up for what we believe in is far less than
the reward that lies in store for us.
Have a good week everyone! You all inspire me! I love you :)
Love,
Sister Krivanec
I want to share with you all something that my oh so wise father sent
me.
