NEW YURR. Last of 2013 RIP (January 4, 2014)

1.       How was your Christmas?  What did you do after caroling? 

After Caroling, visited some peeps, had dinner with this curazy family! But it was awesome....read some nativity stuff totes the most christmas.

2.       Who are these investigators you had lined up to baptize? Hadn’t much about them yet.

We had Jaclyn and D'Juan (little hoodrats) but it was a bunch of investigators in our zone that i did exchanges with so had taught them a few times!!

3.       Are you warm enough when you are out and about?

TOTES warm enough. We are spoiled and have a full time car since we are STL's so NOT a prob. We try and walk as much as we can when we're out and about but the weather here is ridiculous, 13 degrees christmas eve, 56 christmas day. CRAY.

 

Ok. Questions=answered.

Well, LOVED talking to ya'll christmas!

• Went caroling= GREATEST. we all went in the mission van....literally just like attacking people. Like freaky polygamist van pullin up to your front door. Missionaries falling out like cockroaches in a wall (but the good kind....). FREAKED some people out, but also had like the MOST SUCCESS EVER!?!?! started at the gas station fillin up, one elder had a uke so he played and people LOVED it, literally all of us got at least one new investigator (went to everyones areas) and just found like CRAZY!! It was so great.
• Elder De Leon was driving, almost ran over a puppy. Picked it up. Car drives by, "what is that"? "puppy." I'll take it! "ok." SOOOO Elders basically stole a puppy and then GAVE it to a random person!?!?!? #weactuallyfeelsogiultyaboutit #crap #nocollar
• Felt so creepy in the van, drove by someone walking on street, slowed down and STRAIGHT UP GAVE OUT CANDY FROM A VAN! #fulfilledourdreams #insta-creeped
• Christmas day brought Carol to our dinner appointment, she's in a wheelchair...........didn't realize that this persons house is like split level, stairs everywhere......so she's like pull me up backwards..............overestimated my strength..........almost killed her.....goes flying forwards....luckily angels and Sis Beuchert were there to save her but WOW. Merry Christmas......#oops
• On the way home (got crazy unique permission to drive her) this is a nice car...do you take it drag racing? #shes68 um.....no. Yeah...we did that in highschool..it was fun. SO nonchalant...WUT.
• JUDYS BAPTISM so much opposition right before ALWAYS. this time it came in the form of a 1 pound thing of yarn.....knotted up. Night before baptism. COULDNT. EVEN. GET. A. WORD. IN. "no- have to un-do this" CRAZY contention...somehow we are like SO tangled in yarn...everywhere...stupid cats rolling around in the stuff we un-did AHHH.
• BUT SHE GOT BAPTIZED
• it was awesome.
• Inapropes all over. BUT SHE DID IT! pics to come. GREATEST DAY EVER.
• Sis Harris's friend gave her a blood pressure cuff for Christmas (which she was totes not happy about) but i LOVED it. greatest christmas ever. #florencenightingale #tookmybplike40times #pluseveryoneelses

KRUEG'S CHRIS. (December 23, 2013)

Yeah. Mr. Kerugers Christmas. HAVE YOU SEEN THAT!??????????????

Investigator Carol. How much do I love her!?!

Showed up and gave her a bunch of Christmas DVD's (ps the office Elder in charge of supplies, $$$$MONEY$$$$$ he ordered like 3 million different Christmas video selections to give out when we go caroling!?!?!?! champ)

ANYWAY after passing out probably like 300 million copies to random strangers telling them how AWESOME this vid is--come back to Carols later she had already watched Mr. Kreugers Christmas and was like "want to watch it with me? I'm dying to see it again" we had never seen it so we're like sure?

OMG.

OMG

FIRST of all. THIS WAS MADE IN THE LIKE 1900s????? And you watch it and you sit back and think, "wait....................WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?!?" Like literally. what.even.happened.

One moment guy from Its a Wonderful Life is conducting the MoTab choir.....next thing you know Farrah Fawcett and her cronies are dancing around a Christmas Tree on temple square....then this ADORABLE little blondie steals the baby Jesus from the nativity set....................and its over!?!?!?!?!!?!?

Anyway...even after ALL of that.

I STILL CRIED.

It's so tender because mainly I thought about all of the people that REALLY WILL have a Christmas experience like that. No one at home. All alone. Happiness at the mercy of random carolers.  ALL OF YOU GO FIND THOSE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! breaks.my.heart.

IN OTHER NEWS.

Crazy week full of crazy amounts of snow BUT ended it off with Presidents Devotional last night.

Judy.

Comes.

The beginning is set for recent converts to bear their testimonies but since the weather, cancelled church and time change of the devotional they just kind of "time is yours" thing for the recent converts who were invited there to speak, but no set order.

After two incredibly powerful testimonies.

JUDY STANDS.

my heart DROPS.

Eyes go directly the Assistants like MAKE IT STOP but Elder De Leon just gives this look like ....wait....should I stop this???

But too late...........

My heart is in KNOTS because we have like 5 SOLID investigators who are on the verge of baptism already have dates but Satan working incredibly strong on our mission because we are trying to hit our Noche Blanca goal and we are THREE SHORT!!! so everyone is like ON EDGE this is the MOMENT that is supposed to seal the deal.

"My name is Judy Mills, and I am NOT a member of this Church. I grew up in Germany where I didn't know anyone who wasn't Catholic. Came to America and........"

all the same stories how she went to this Bible College that changed her life converted her to Christianity. Great story....but doesn't convert people to the restored truth.

She is bringin the house down because she is just funny by nature talking about how she is one of God's spoiled rotten little brats being able to go to the Bible College AND THEN

"........and it was the greatest thing I could have ever done in my life, second to meeting the missionaries and deciding to be baptized in to the Latter Day Saint Church this Saturday at 11:00 am if you want to come."

TEARS. The Assistants are just like grinning at me, Zone Leaders texting me off the hook, District Leader trying to get my attention wondering why we haven't had an interview yet, BUT I DIDNT EVEN CARE.

Because in that moment, my heart was so full of love for HER. It's like the flood gates had opened and she FINALLY felt the power of the Spirit, and she recognized it, and WANTED it!

SURE she did it a little backwards, aka we are SCRAMBLING to try and make it actually happen on her self-proclaimed baptismal date, and yeah we went over to go over the baptismal questions the night before with her and instead she fed us SHRIMP stir-fry!?!?!?!?!?! but I knew in that INSTANT as she bore her testimony with her fanny pack that no matter HOW crazy, the Lord wanted HER in His Church. He NEEDED her to receive that ordinance, he was aware of HER and HER needs, and most importantly He loved ME and HER and the whole ROOM enough to let us experience a MIRACLE.

BLESSINGS!

so much more I want to say but LITERAL CHAOS as a Sister is leaving to go home today and we are all over the map.

BUT WHO CARES!?!?! I'll talk to you soon! AH!

LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!

SO MANY CHRISTMAS SHOUTOUTS I AM WAITING UNTIL NEXT WEEK BUT I FEEL SO SO SO SO INCREDIBLY LOVED BY ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 1 MILLION TIMES THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BEST FRIENDS AND FAMILY LITERALLY IN THE WHOLE WORLD. Or the Whole KANSAS WICHITA MISSION WORLD! LOVE YOU!

Love,

Sister Murray

MERRY CHRISTMAS=pictures of Judy. My sweater she made me. Her in overalls. her and her cat that she calls a different name every day and her bike.

Me and my Companion...the Spirit. (December 2, 2013)

So yep.......................STILL don't have a companion...........things have gotten WEIRD.

but awesome.

Since we are in the middle of a transfer they are waiting until the 18th to send me a companera. WUT.

So I've been bopping around town to all these different companionships which is fun.......................and exhausting.

Had a miniature melt down yesterday at Church (which sucks because OH who is in my Ward?? Prez Bell.)

But we talked it out and isss all good now! I mean I just question my purpose and my calling of life on a daily basis but you know....whatevs! Got the Spirit as my comp.

It's actually KIND of fun because blessing from da Lord this girl named Merriah moved home from BYU Idaho early and has been my pseudo-comp a few days?? So that's been weird/fun because she is TOTALLY NORMAL. Love her.

MURRCLE!! (get it like a Murray Miracle HAH just came up with that omg I'm so lame IT KILLS ME)

Ok so we get this HQ referral named CAROL. love her to pieces. Go to meet her, she's in a wheelchair, she's also like 68 and has CURAZY eyeliner....teach the first lesson....getting BAPTIZED December 15th-24th......baaasically any one of those days. Her cousin from Florida wants to fly in for it??? YEAH. All this...and we've only met the lady ONCE. #prepared #literal.

My old comp Sister Call and her new comp were my companions for a few days and she has this crazy intense GPS and her life is a little bit crazy intense like her nick name is the Russian Assassin.....ANYWAY they figured out to do "voice command" on the GPS.

NEEDLESS to say I was in the back seat literally dying like snorting trying to hold in my laughter as she is yelling in the most robotic voice "VOICE COMMAND- FIND DILLONS, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, No UP, DILL-ONS, no not drive thru, DILL-ONES, CANCEL,"

..................silence........................

"VOICE COMMAND"

So I only speak to her now in voice commands and I think it is super funny but no one else does......IM LIKE HELLO this is funny. No comp to reign me in. ITS TERRIBLE (my text messages are literally just off the wall now, no filter i.e. no comp to check them.)

SWO-K.

Took Judy to a baptism on Saturday.

With me and make-shift "Sister" Endsley (Merriah).

So.......we go to pick Judy up. She's in her fanny pack. 2 knit sweaters on that she has made. TWO. (it is 60 degrees outside #kansasweather) she just got eye surgery so her left eye is black and blue with a HUGE slash down the middle with stitches..........just dyed her hair maroon because she left the red dye in too long.

So yeah she looks like totes her greatest.

Take her to baptism.

Cue: Elders who were in charge of finding this sweet Sister being baptized her baptismal suit. FAIL.

She is .................endowed....with largeness????

So none of them fit her.

So she has nothing to wear.

Baptism starts in 5.

SO THE ELDERS decide it would be a good idea to send her home to put on white sweats and a tank top and throw a TABLE CLOTH OVER HER cut a hole for the head...belt it...........THIS WAS REAL LIFE ABOUT TO HAPPEN. And they are so sure this was the best solution.

!(@*$&%^#$)!(*() %^(#)&%)!*#)$!&@ $

So after that was shot down in about 3 seconds some Sister offered to go get her Temple dress (the tent kind) and she wore that.

45 minutes LATER baptism starts.

Meanwhile amongst the crazy JUDY is just basically peddling her sweaters to everyone waiting for the baptism.......business cards in her fanny pack....scaring little children cause she looks semi-crazy. But SOME people were sweet.....mainly the Zone Leaders because they were trying to finagle her into knitting them matching ties.

Ok baptism finally starts....first talk...great...spirit really strong......cue Judy: "Can I make a comment?"

(speaker) um sure...?

asdkfja sd;lfkj;s dsomething about defining "righteousness" that she learned a bible college--just thought that would suit well in your talk."

*high fives me* 

....im like WHAT. whatever embrace it.

Moves on, baptism of Karen....shes sweet has overcome a TON to be here....baptized....2 Elders in the water to ......make it happen..........dunks her.....comes up..............................

.................grey sweat suit on underneath???

At this point....no on questions it. Its been done.

While changing they open the time up to bear testimonies. NOOOOOOOOOOOO

First one up.

Judy.

literal 10 minute long speech about I don't even know what just PRAYING that it stays appropriate (because she has a really rated R terrible theory about what Adam and Eve's "original sin" was that she decided to whip out last week when we bring our first team up ever from the Relief Society)

Anyway everyone ..... confused.......

she sits down whispers super loud "great speech wasn't it" DYING.  

Beautiful musical number....she claps.

COULDNT BE MORE CLASSIC.

But I could tell everyone was totally judging her as she sat in her 2 sweaters she knitted. fanny pack still on, her magnifying glass she brought from home to read her program with her black and blue eye...but I LOVED her. Even more as I sit and reflect on it.  If those people just KNEW what this woman had gone through--the kind of life she had to live--THEY would be applauding for HER even being able to stand and testify of the blessings she has received from the Lord. In her own words "being one of the Gods spoiled rotten little brats!"

God's love is so real, I pray for that now because it truly changes you.

LOVE YOU ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Love,

Sister Murray

DUH. (November 25, 2013)

ok. seriously WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

where.to.begin.

 

NUMERO UNO- I just had a baby child. Well not really...but I've been out for 9 FREAKIN MUNTHSSSSSS$$$$$. It's actually the weirdest ever. Like one more pregnancy to go and im doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

WHAT THE HECK NO NO NO MAKE IT STOP!

Literally like time flies by so fast it makes me die inside.....but I realized something, like the DAY I hit it....it just clicked in my mind. Like wait, I LIKE being on a mission---matter of fact I LOVE it!! AND i'm half way done....which means I'll never get those 9 months back...which means I probably should work harder...which means i'm half way over with gaining eternal blessings for my children...crap have I done enough? Are they going to come out with all sorts of problems?? Like will they know how to spell and stuff? Will my husband be totally hot because I've said like a DUH-load of prayers?? even though I hate public praying??? (isn't that a thing? like the more you pray the better looking your husband gets? like efy thing? right??)....which means every day I pass by means less and less time in the field...which means less and less time to be the HAPPIEST ever...which means i have to be EXACTLY obedient...which means since we accidentally went to bed last night at like 10:50 7,000 fairies just died and 23 investigators just got off date!!! WHICH MEANS I HATE HOW FAST TIME GOES BY!! AHHHHHHH

 

But in the mean time I took the classic pregnant pic which is a tradition amongst....myself. Since we are a new mission WE start all of the traditions...so like OOBER PRESSURE TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING GREAT...........10:15 still got nothing.......on exchanges so I have NO MATERIAL TO WORK WITH.....*commence prego pic*

 

Anysways enough about THAT.

 

THIS WEEK.

Literally.

like HOW to describe we saw SOO many miracles it KILLS ME! Sister Beus as you know left for Brazil.....34 minutes ago....which means right now I am FLYIN SOLO in the fam history center.  Jk there are 5,0000 missionaries that serve here so its just crawling every p-day so I just bunk up with random sisters until....tonight....when ...........I go back trio-ing?? Still figuring it out but apparently as of now we are double covering two wards for the last 3 weeks of the transfer......STRESS.

 

BUT OK BACK TO MIRACLES

one word. DA GHE.TTo.

ok technically two...but WOW a literal goldmine of people searching for the truth AND DONT YOU DARE TELL ME THEY ARE LESS ACCOUNTABLE because they aint. I love them will all of my heart and EVERYONE here neglects those areas because they say you can't depend on them (which sometimes is a little bit true)

But me and Sister Beus were like so inspired and just thought lets go for it!! (PS DID I TELL YOU HOW EASY MISSIONARY WORK IS WHEN YOU AND YOUR COMP ARE BASICALLY THE SAME PERSON!?!?!) we literally had so much fun like I had to sit in bed at night and think...wait....am I still on a mission?? Like she will talk to N-E-ONE and knows JUST where to chime in when I cut out and it was like walking around on giant puff balls frolicking in lilacs Wichita remix edition.

you get the picture.

So we go to the ghetto where no missionaries have gone for months and find gobs of new investi's and are outta our minds teaching people who have the LITERAL GREATEST VOCABULARY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

and then we top it off with our LAST lesson together yesterday.

His name is Erico.

And we begin to teach the Restoration (he met with missionaries years ago...tried to take his own life last year by jumping out of a car....survived but got brain damage/amnesia so forgot like TONS of stuff...basically didn't remember what Mormons believed but knew he had met with them) anyway...TAUGHT with such unity it was like we were the Olsen Twins, Erico is EATING IT UP like so involved ACTUALLY ASKING QUESTIONS NOT JUST TALKING TO A WALL!?!? at the end says....im just so ANXIOUS to learn more...like I've never felt like this...I should have gone to church with YOU today! (he is a choir director at this Protestant Church where they love to shout praises)

I'm like

CAN I GET A HALLELUJAH AMEN!?!?!?!

*grandslam*

Seriously so in love with this man who by the way has gotten all 8 of his family members to his new Church because he thinks that Church is meant for families and it will bring them closer together!?!?!

*dumbfounded stare*

UH YEAH ERICO BRING THEM ALL TO OUR CHURCH!

PRAY FOR HIM PLEASSSSSSEEEEE!!!!!

 

Speaking of prayers....our mission is doing this thang called Noche Blanco. Basically a Mass Baptism on December 24th. Our goal is to get 40 in the month of December (which is DOUBLE our average) so it means EVERYONE will have to stretch...and we'll need ALL of the prayers we can get...but after 3 million miracles, a SUPER inspired conference with Elder Nash who basically dedicated our mission to perform miracles I KNOW it will happen. So please feel free to pray!!

 

Wow, I continue to be in awe of the Lord. Even though me and Sister Beus were only companions for 12 days we learned SO much and were able to accomplish EVEN MORE and she was EXACTLY the boost I needed as I hit the middle "sag" of my mission.

I feel so refreshed and recharged and so so in love with mission I'll never leave!

 

This basically includes no specific detail of our week but know that it was UH-MAZING.

 

LOVE YOU ALL

(PS next week is going to be like ulti-shout out day because I keep forgetting my list but if you sent me something KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU AND I WILL AWKWARDLY GIVE YOU THIS LAME EXCUSE OF A THANK YOU THROUGH THIS EMAIL)

 

-SISTER MURRAY!!!

 

                                    1. Typical Kansas.....random patch of grass in the sidewalk

 

 

4. Our favorite group of minions. Literally LOVE them. There are 6 kids all under the age of 6.....she's prego with the 7th. One of us has to entertain the masses while the other teaches...#layindowndalaw

 

2. Once again.....the hood.

                                                                 4. Me....pregnant.

THIS. (November 18, 2013)

IM ALIVE.

S. BEUS (my bestie/comp) GOT HER VISA THE SAME DAY as transfers.(wednesday) (shes been here 8 months....everyone banking on her visa never coming.....THE LORDS TIMING.)

So in other words.....we are companions for 10 days......so we're trying to make the most of it....aka MOST ACTION PACKED PDAY OF MY LIFE.

 

So yeah....

I'm alive.

 

MUCHO AMOR

-Sister Murray

LIGHTNING (October 21, 2013)

I swear one of these days I'll finally get the system down of time management and then.....it'll be over.

 

OK.

 

Visited a lady on exchanges. She has the FATTEST cat on the earth. fat.es.t.cat. She sings this little song to it "you're my honey bunny....my honey..bunny...." that she made up.
"Oh...cute.......?....his name is Honey?"

"No. its Flurry."

oh.....of course..it...is?

 

Ok so shes like "yeah FLURRY. He has an eating disorder...thats why he is so fat. I forgot to feed him for a week so I think he hoards food now. So I have to keep it up on that really high shelf so if he really is hungry he has to work for it."

SO SERIOUS *clamping my mouth so tight trying not to laugh*
"So sorry Flurry is a binge eater...."

NEXT: also I fed Flurry baby formula when he was little because I couldnt afford cat food.....so I know it sounds crazy...but he has now created a human brain. I know! I know! but it's true.

One time I was sleeping and I have ceizures. So i heard this voice MOM! Mom! I woke up it sounded like a little boy...no one was there....went back to sleep heard it again! MOM! this time it sounded like my daughter....woke up....there was Flurry staring right into my face.

He is telepathic. I know! I know! it sounds crazy....but he is.  And he has the voice of a small 8 year old boy.

 

"...........................................................

...........*dumbfounded*

............................

....................*loss of words*..................................

........................."mhmm!"

 

 

I came up with a new term for all of the Sisters that are going home

MANDICAPPED.

I'm so proud. it came to me like LIGHTNING one day. Its like how returned missionaries cant talk to boys and are thus dating nightmares. YEAH! so, so proud.

 

JUDY- Ok she is the German investigator who went missing.

WELL found her. She called us. So we went over.

DISCOVERED: long story short, she is like 70, she HITCH HIKED to Armarillo where her daughter is because she was strugglin emotionally. Took a bus as far as she could, went to the turnpike stuck out her thumb. Jumped in with a truck driver who was SO tired...told her he needed something pretty to look out or he might fall asleep....."i appreciate the compliment but its going to stop there.  I'll drive your truck."

What?

"is this a 13 speed double overdrive?"

Yes

"Yep scoot over....went through all the gears as smooth as pancakes!" <----wha? "..and off we went! I mean i was pulling 100 mph....turned on my ham radio found out where all the cops were. Made it there in 7 hours flat! (ATTN ATTN SHOULD TAKE LIKE AT LEAST 14?!?!?!)

Although i did stop off for like 3 hours in Oklahoma City to drop off a partial load....all while the drive was asleep! And then he paid me 100$ for the service and off he went!"

 

SAME lady who has to use a MAGNIFYING glass to look at the phone every time it rings to make sure she knows the number.

 

SAME woman who owns 88 of the 224 John Wayne movies who only goes to bed after 10:00 on May 20th because she stays up all night watching the John Wayne 24 hour MARATHON because it is his birthday. 

SAME woman who always says "Amen and A WOMAN" at the end of prayers.

SAME woman who answers the door in a swimsuit..."Oh did you go swimming?" "no."

Oh..............................(she keeps her house at like 80 degrees....always...just wear a swimsuit....like taught her a lesson that way.....dont question)

SAME woman who is now so so so in love President Uchtdorf...like I'm pretty sure he was ordained an apostle JUST for this woman. Like basically gave her her testimony. We watch his talks ....like .....all the time. "I like to think the language we spoke in Heaven was German" --yeah she DIED at that line DIED!

 

I.LOVE.HER. but unfortuantely she wasn't at Church because she teaches deaf people the Bible every other Sunday in someones BASEMENT but she ALWAYS comes for Choir practice. always. SHE IS NOT BAPTIZED..............yet.

Shes had like 3 baptismal dates we've set.....but she keeps dang EVAPORATING so this week she is living at a hospital because her friend has pneumonia........#prayforJudy

 

LOVE YOU ALL

so so out of time.

LASTLY with all the exchanges i have been doing it is truly AMAZING to see how well the Lord knows every.single.one of us! LIKE PERFECTLTY. How did i mis this concept before?? I pray every time to know what the Lord would have me say to these Sisters and like LIGHTNING something comes into my head every.single.time. half the time i have NO idea what context I could even share it...but then i do....and there are tears and they are like HOW DID YOU KNOW and its so so so humbling and I'm like SUPRISE i didnt know. it was the LORD.

So just ASK THE LORD. PRAY. PRAY WITH ALL YOUR HEART for ANYTHING. and he will answer you. EVERY TIME.

 

love love love

love
