Dear Everyone,

 

     I'm sorry I don't have a lot of time today, but I just want every one to know it's been really great! sister Kaimarama's and I investigators are really progressing. We've been seeing a lot of miracles her in Kansas City. Have I mentioned it's Royals mania here? It's the best! I need to get me some gear.

 

 This week I will hit my year mark. Pretty crazy. I'm really glad I have 6 months left, that's all I have to say. I'm enjoying and loving every minute of the time I get to serve the Lord. I am so blessed to be serving with all my friends and family. Although we are in different places all over the world, whether your a full time missionary or a member missionary. The purpose is the same: to help Heavenly Father bring is children back home.

 

 Precious is doing really well. We have 3 investigators on date now for November. It's going to take a lot of work and change in order to get there, but with Christ I know that all things are possible. And with the miracles we've seen so far I know the Lord has been preparing these women for years.

 

 Sister Quinnelly (one of my favorite friends from the Clinton ward) emailed me this week and told me about how the friends she's been working with for over 10 years now, recently got baptized and now they are having the new member lessons in her home. She is a huge example to me of dedication and love. She wasn't friends solely on the purpose of getting them baptized, but was there whenever they were ready to take the plunge :) Just know that whoever you are working with, a friend or a stranger, it is possible. Sometimes we just have to be patient.

 

I love you all and am so grateful for your examples of Christ-like love. You're always in my prayers. Talk to you soon!

 

Love,

Sister Penman

 

On behalf of my year mark: KC temple (what it's all about), a casino we drove by which reminds me of home, and a billboard that is trying to make me trunky. It says "Vegas is Caling". Nice try :)
