New, But Not...
Last week was transfer week and while there were some changes, Kierstan did not get transferred. In the flat where they live there are two companionships and Kierstan and her companion both stayed but were each given a new companion. So she and Sister Suaybaguio each have a new companion now, but both are still in the same flat. Sister Babbel's new companion is Sister Dell, and they get along famously. They have decided to get up at 5:30 every morning to read the scriptures, and while this has been quite a challenge for Kierstan because, and I quote "I really really love sleep, I really love it!", they have only missed rising early one morning. Kierstan said she missed reading so much that morning and felt bad all day because they slept in, so they have not missed any more. The missionary experience has definitely changed her outlook on waking up in the morning. I have seen so much Spiritual growth come to Kierstan because of her mission, and she has grown in other, less obvious ways as well. We love her and look forward with great anticipation each week for the letters we receive from her :)

Winding Down
Sister Babbel is in the last few months of her mission, and as her time in the mission field is winding down I will be both happy and sad to see her come home. We all miss her so much and look forward with great anticipation to her return, but the mission experience is such a wonderful time in life, and the closeness she feels with the Spirit will be something she can treasure, and continue to work for, once she returns. I have seen Heavenly Father's hand in our lives while Kierstan has served in the mission field, and I feel so blessed to be part of the extraordinary experience of sending a missionary to serve the Lord. We expect she will be home sometime around the 15th of November so as of today she only has 143 days left! She might not be counting, but I am!
