7 Ways to Humble Yourself - By Sister Murray
1. Speak at a Conference for the Sisters about "fashion"...........and just crash and burn. CRASH.AND.BURN. But the color wheels were a smash hit so thank you Mother! And the tips from Aunt Colette were on point. THANK YOU. Tried to just wing it because my energy level to plan anything was at a -47...........NOT the greatest plan. whatev. over it. ^___ (get it, OVER ^ it ____)
Just humbled....so...humbled...
2/3. Oh yeah, last week in Interviews President Bell told me I was being transferred...he is known for not being able to keep a secret.....like at all......so everyone knew where they were going before we even got the Transfer list today.....LOVE HIM.
-----> EXCEPT I heard I was going somewhere else??? To this place called Manhattan.....KANSAS. aka "Man-happenin" aka to me called "Man-crap-anin" Because......home of K-State. and it just looks like a knock-off version of Lawrence.
WELL mentally prepared for that ALLLLLL week. humbled....so...humbled.....going somewhere ELSE. But more on that to come.<-----
Went to Salvation last Wednesday being my LAST goodbye......announcing it before they eat....expecting tears to be shed.....ask to take a picture with everyone.....
SLOW MOTION (picture this)
Walking over to line "Ok! so like just crowd in...."
-random girl #1- well, i dont WANT to be in your picture...so can i just stay here...?
-random person #3- yeah me neither!
-random crowd- yeah....picture....ehhhhh.......no.
Me *just slowly backing away getting smaller and smaller until I am the size of an ant and I just scurried back to the front and got smashed/stomped on/rolled over by someones shopping cart they were pushing through*
Just like humbled...so.....humbled.........
But seriously. All the missionaries were dying laughing....because it went from like YEAH PICTURE!! LOVE! Joy! HAPPINESS!...to like Yeah heres your freakin mashed potatoes OHHHK.
But it WAS the end of the month so there were tons of randoms i didnt even know so yeah I DIDNT WANT YOU IN MY PICTURE ANYWAY! right? right?
But my "regulars" came up after and were just like a little TOO excited to take a picture? like turned in to a photo shoot?? That I somehow have been asked to email to a list of like 30 people so they can facebook them? .............#somanyinappropriateemailaddresses #fail
4. Called to be a Sister Leader. I can barely remember to wear my NAMETAG every day. ...........hum...bl...e.d.....#crap
5. -Saying goodbyes- "Aw yeah....we'll totally miss you Sister Murphy!" ................................just..............yeah...hum.BULLED.
6. Falling over in this dang chair in our apartment......x3.........#humbled
7. 5th Sunday, special HUGE missionary Sunday introducing our new Ward Mission Plan...asked to give a little shpeel for the Youth.....did some "role plays" where they practice what they would say ALL AMPED that we were conducting a mini District Meeting.....finish our bit...Bishop gets up..."Great! So how was it? Was that helpful?"
"ehhh......no."
Alright then! Yeah! Missionary Work! ....lets hear it....for the .......Sis..ters!!
humbled....so humbled....
BUT then I look back to being in this area for almost EIGHT months. And all of the people the Lord has blessed ME with to help, to teach, to share experiences with, be able to work with...and yeah. HUMBLED.
I'll miss Lawrence....but I'm goin to...........(drum roll).......... WICHITA.
Home of...the...............uh...
Ho..me....of...the......................................? -nothing-
.......Yeah! Lets hear it for Wichita!!
Being humbled is like being thrown off a cliff. You're like
WHAT THE! I HATE THIS! Like i'm flying through the air and i'm going to die. Like death is upon me and I'm just supposed to be OK with this.
And then you land in water.....and you are confused.....and you come up for air and you realize that you are in Lake Powell....and its AWESOME and fun and exciting and we're laughing because homeless people won't even take PICTURES with me!! Like I have sunk so low in desperation for friends PEOPLE WITHOUT HOMES EVEN THINK YOU ARE WEIRD.
But it's funny. And you still love them to PIECES because you realize...............they are the ones who taught you HOW to be humble.
So yes.....I will miss Lawrence. Like CRAZY. But I'm excited for this week.
Nope I'm terrified but thats what Missions are all about.
Making people feel uncomfortable.
So yep, KOKO.
:)
LOVE YOU ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
