Kelsey's last email from AZ as Sister Hubmann

Hey family and friends!

I have had poor time management

these past couple weeks.

My bad.

But I'll see you in a week.

So I'm pretty sure that makes up for this.

This past week was great!

The biggest news.

We had a huge microburst!

I woke up to Sister Isert saying

something about a monsoon.

I ignored it because I was half asleep.

And then I heard a huge crash!

A tree got struck by lightning

and sent a limb flying towards our apartment.

It broke one of our windows.

But not in either of the bedrooms,

thank goodness.

So it has been quite a weekend!

We didn't have church at our building

because there was no power!

We all went to the stake center.

It was like 2 sessions of stake conference.

Food bank.

It was great!

I love working there.

It brings me so much joy.

I'm going to have to find

something like that when I get home.

Last zone activity!

It was so much fun!

We played sports for 2.5 hours.

I was so sore the next couple days.

But it was SOOO worth it.

Mainly because they never let us

play sports with the Elders anymore.

Thus, a much smaller group to play with

since there are only 6 sisters in the zone.

I also got to go see Leslie and my convert Nancy!

She got sick so we didn't get to go until Thursday.

But it was so great when I finally got to.

I love them SOOO much.

They are such amazing women.

And Leslie gave me my prayer rock!

So that will take up 4 of my 50 pounds.

Totally worth it.

Thank you so much for your support.

I have loved receiving all of your letters and emails.

They came just at times when I needed them the most.

I have loved being a missionary.

There is nothing better I could have done

with my life at this time.

I feel like I have grown so much.

(You'll have to tell me if I really have.)

It is such a blessing to be able to serve the Lord

and see how the Gospel blesses the lives of others.

I am so grateful to have been able to serve in Arizona.

I love these people so much.

But yall aren't too bad either:)

I love yall so much!

I will see you MONDAY!

Much love,

Sister Hubmann
