welp here we are again....

hello fellow family members, friends, so on....

so as many of you know about 2 weeks ago I returned from THE GREATEST year and a half of my life. (sniff, sniff)
But although I am sad, there is great joy to be found knowing that God has a plan for each one of us. ALL OF US. And when one chapter ends (no matter how beautiful the chapter was) there is another one, even better waiting on the next page.

Things to know about me now:

I am not the same Katy I was 18 months ago, I think (at least I hope) I am a better Katy and I know that I can continue improving, YAY!
I like Latin Music now (it happens when you live in Mexico for a while) but I will not force anyone to listen to it with me.
I occasionally speak spanish words in my sentences.
I truly find great JOY in the simple miracles I see daily.
I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ I know it, I try daily to live it, I truly DO love it.

okay other thing:
This last week I got to go to the Payson Temple Open House. GOR.GE.OUS.
It was stunning. I truly believe that it is only the best for the Lord, and I believe that if He has told us that we ourselves are "temples" we should only give "the best" shouldn't we? Just a thought. Also an invitation if there is still time to go. GO. And if you can't make it to the open house and you can go when it is dedicated DO IT. I love being surrounded with His house in this state. What a great blessing.

So I guess that is my first blog post for now, not much (I will need to be more creative in days to come) but it's a start.

God Be With You Til We Meet Again

Hey friends! So this is it! Tonight I will be set apart as a Missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and will be entering the MTC tomorrow! I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to serve the Lord and His people in Mexico for these next 18 months.

kathryn.armknecht@myldsmail.net
(I would prefer emails to me be for big news like "I got my Mission Call!" or "Guess who's getting married?!?" etc. Or to tell me that you want to get my emails so I can tell my mom. You can still email me otherwise but I will have other priorities first during my internet time to write family and other friends on Missions.)

Thanks everyone so much for your support! I'm so grateful for you all and I'll see you in a year and a half! 

I know with all of my heart that this is the true church and that anyone who finds it and learns of it with an open heart will know it true. The Book of Mormon is the word of God, it is SO true, and it goes hand and hand with the Bible. I know that the Temple is the House of God and that the power and blessings you receive there is needed by all. I love this Gospel and I know that serving a Mission at this time is what I am supposed to do. I KNOW. I have never been more sure of anything in my life then this Gospel. And if there are any of you who are doubting please do as Elder Holland said you could do for him and lean on my faith and on my testimony.
