Week 3- Arrived in Tampa!

Dear Friends and Family,

I have safely arrived in Florida! Thank you so much for your support while I was in the mtc. I am serving in the St. Petersburg ward and I love it. Ever since being here I have seen a miracle almost every day and that has nothing to do with me. It is all because of the Lord. On my first day here the Lord gave me the opportunity to invite 3 kids to be baptized. The dad already had a date but the kids hadn't committed yet. 

after my companion, Sister Loveridge and I taught the plan of salvation I asked them to be baptized. The kids all said yes! It was so rewarding. I loved it. I know that this is God's plan for me right now, to bring others onto Christ. He is putting people who are prepared to hear the gospel in my path everyday! 

Have a beautiful week and I'll talk to ya'll on Monday!

Love,

Sister Klein

week 2- 4th of July in the MTC

Dear Friends and Family,

Missionary work is awesome! I love the Gospel so much! 

I can't hack the mtc protection to get my camera to work. So you'll have to wait till I get out in the field.

OKAY! highlights of my week... and lowlights

#1 Sister Coleman and I were doing service and we got to wear vacuum cleaner backpacks!!!!!!  so we became ghost busters

#2 Sister Coleman and I got yelled at by 4 different branch presidents for leaving our bags in a classroom so we wouldn't get yelled at for bringing them in the cafeteria. We cried after because these branch presidents tore us apart. then we were late to class because the teacher yelled at us too. :( We seriously went into the bathroom and cried. It wasn't being told we did something wrong that made us sad but the fact that they yelled at us :( They couldn't do it kindly. Luckily our branch presidency was in our classroom when we got back so their wives gave us hugs and comforted us. 

#3 we went outside Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday so if you didn't see me sucks for you... jk

#4 we taught a lesson! well actually we've taught a lot of lessons. our lessons are doing okay but most of our investigators don't believe they need anything else other than what they got :(

We seriously love our investigators and we pray for them but they don't seem to be moving in to faith/repentance.

Its super sad :( 

Overall I love the gospel. and I love being a missionary!

Fun story for ya'll! So someone on the floor of our residence halls caught a burrito on fire in the microwave and so in order to make our room not smell we opened our window. The windows in the mtc open so big that you can climb out them. So of course I'm outside the window before I can even think about how its not a good idea. haha! But how many people can say they climbed out the window at the mtc? I can! 

I love you all! 

The Gospel is true! 

Love

Sister Klein

P.S. write back and tell me how you're spending your 4th of July! :)

WEEK 1- Life In the MTC

Dear Friends and Family,

I made it to the mtc alive. YAY! haha! The spirit is so strong here. This is the best experience I've ever had. I should've had it a long time ago. 

My companion is Sister Coleman. I love her so much! We work super well together and get a long well. Last night we were made sister training leaders which will be a great blessing to us as we Love the missionaries in our Zone. 

Yesterday we talked a lot about our purpose as missionaries: to invite others to come unto Christ. I think its so wonderful that I get the chance as a missionary to be the bridge between others and God. Of all the people the Lord chose to trust, he chose imperfect young adults. He picked me. I'm so glad that this opportunity is mine.

I love you all. The Gospel is true!

Love
Sister Klein

I WENT TO FEAKING CONFERENCE!!!

I had the wonderful opportunity to go to general conference. It was seriously one of the best experiences of my life! I was so blessed to be able to go. I know the church is true and I know that we have a living prophet. I have seen them and his apostles. I have felt their spirit. It is so strong. I love the gospel so much :)

I found the tangled sun in the bathroom :)

I love to see the temple <3
