Sky's Baptism, Listen to the Holy Spirit, and a Transfer

Dear Family and Friends,

Sister Farr and I are Both being transferred! Tomorrow! They are white washing the area for Sisters. We don't know where we are going. It is hard to say good bye. I have come to love many people in this area. But I know that the Lord is calling me elsewhere. Our investigator Genesis is getting close to Baptism. I hope we can get permission to go to it. One of my investigators form a previous area, Sky got baptized. I didn't find out about it until after the fact. But I'm very excited for them! 

"And now, O king, if thou wilt spare our lives, we will be thy servants. And the king said unto them: Arise, for I will grant unto you your lives, and I will not suffer that ye shall be my servants; but I will insist that ye shall administer unto me; for I have been somewhat troubled in mind because of the generosity and the greatness of the words of thy brother Ammon; and I desire to know the cause why he has not come up out of Middoni with thee. And Aaron said unto the king: Behold, the Spirit of the Lord has called him another way; he has gone to the land of Ishmael, to teach the people of Lamoni." Alma 22:3-4

Sincerely,

Sister Kimberly Galloway

Dearest Family and Friends,

Transfers are coming up. I haven't hear if I'm staying or going yet. Genesis has a Baptism Date that she is working towards! Our ward is planning this big Christmas activity. They did it last year for the first time. They are inviting quires of other Churches to come and sing and have a big Christmas music thing. It sounds like a lot of fun. I love y'all a lot!

Sincerely,

Sister Kimberly Galloway

A Different Kind of Miracle

Dear Friends and Family,

We couldn't email yesterday because the Library was closed. We had an exchange this week. Sister Kelly joined me in Hillsborough. I forgot to take a picture so I'm sending you the one from last time. Sorry, I forgot. 

We had a sweet lady walk up to us today at the Library, and she asked us if we were sister missionaries, and mentioned that she couldn't talk to us at the time, and that she would catch up with us later. Giving us a note, it stated that she is a member who just moved back here (North Carolina), and that she's questioning her faith. She gave us her contact info, and I am excited to get to know her! It was neat to have her reach out to us like that! 

Our investigator Genesis agreed to be baptized and is praying about the date. She is very young but very wise. I'm so excited to see her growth. She's amazing.

We have another investigator who is very forgetful. But she loves the Lord and she always says at the end of our lessons that she knows that what we teach is true. But she doesn't want to give up her Church. It doesn't help that she forgets most of what we've taught her, but she has survived 2 brain aneurisms. I think repetitiveness might help her remember. I believe she is slowly progressing. Everyone learns at a different pace, her's is a bit slower because of what she's been through. But she is very happy. She calls herself the miracle lady because God let her live. She trusts that God is taking care of her, and we know that He is. 

I am trying to mark the scriptures I like, (scripture verses that we use during the lessons), in a more effective way so I can find them quicker. I hope this works. I'm using different colored page markers for different lessons. I hope it turns out well. 

Sincerely,

Sister Kimberly Galloway

NC LOVE

​Dear Friends and Family,

This has been a crazy week! We had interviews with our Mission President and his wife. We moved to a new apartment! We had Elder Dube from the 70 and his wife visit our mission. We got to hear them speak, meet they and take a group photo. All but of of the Sisters from my MTC district were there so we took a picture. We were very excited that all of our investigators made it to Church! I love my mission! I love this area! I am loving our new apartment. I love all y'all!

Sincerely,

Sister Kimberly Galloway

Half Way There!

Dear Family and Friends,

I've been on my mission for 9 months and have 9 more to go. I'm half way. Time is going both fast and slow at the same time. Here's a photo of Sister Farr and I getting ice cream after a hard day. We've been working hard and it can be quit draining. But we are loving helping people. We are getting ready to move.

Sincerely,

Sister Kimberly Galloway

The 'FUN' Zone.

Dear Friends and Family,

I am not being transferred but we will be moving on Tuesday the 25th of August. It won't be far. But if you are mailing things to me that you think will come on or after that, please send it to the Mission Office or wait for the new address.  I

Love all y'all! Sorry, some of these photos are blurry! We've started something fun with one one our neighbors this week. She has kids and we know she's been having a hard time lately. So we've been randomly taping coloring book pages on her door for her kids. We were trying to do it secretly so they wouldn't know where it came from. But we got caught the first time. They have since left a few colored pictures and thank you notes on our door. I hope the kids aren't too sad when we move. We haven't told them yet. But we want to keep giving them pages after we move. We wont be too far so I think we can keep doing it for a little while after we move. She told us the other day that her kids kept asking her, if we were home yet and got there note, and if we were going to try to be sneaky again. They are cute!!!

Sincerely,

Sister Kimberly Galloway

even had someone's head cut off. However, I am keeping 

each photo safe in a gmail file - Shelby)

A Short Message

Dear family and friends,

The mission is a lot of hard work and it takes every bit of energy and will power that I have. But it is worth everything and more because of how much I get to help others towards their eternal joy and salvation.Sister Farr had her birthday. It went well for the most part. I think she was happy about it. I got her a little present, decorated the apartment and a few things like that. Sorry for sending so many short letters!

Sincerely,

Sister Kimberly Galloway
