The best mission EVER

 Fun quote of the week: "Singing is just controlled screaming" (by Sister raymond, my last companion. I just reread that and thought it was funny :)) 

Woah !! These past few weeks have been full of MIRACLES 

We have found a few new people to teach! And we have had people come to church! We have two people we are regularly working with and have appointments with who are both great. They both just have a desire to better themselves and their families and enjoy what we have to offer. Now just to get them to come to church... speaking of we had a cool miracle! A member brought his friend, and his friend James was super into church! He even asked how one gets baptized into our church!. we offered to teach him but he said hed let the member know when hes ready. Hopefully its sooner than later... 

For the rest of this transfer we have a new goal! Working with members! We were talking with a Sister the other day and she told us about how it's good we are baptizing people who come from humble circumstances, but a lot of the times the ward has to financially or spiritually provide for them. I had never really thought of that. When we brought that up with our bishop today, he was talking about how our ward is mostly first generation members and kind of lacks knowledge that a many members have. He said the best thing we could do for the ward is to have FHEs with families, but focus on Come follow me. I thought it was a great idea! So for comp study we went through come follow me for this upcoming week and instead of spiritual thoughts we are going to do come follow me with each family we visit. I was talking about it with Sister Spencer and we realized it's hard to expect a recent convert to stay active if the ward itself is struggling spiritually. So we are going to focus on strengthening the ward! Not through visits, but by helping teach them how they can best study the Book of Mormon, through come follow me! Of course we are not going to forget the people we are working with, but I am excited to see miracles in helping people come back to church and strengthen their testimony! 

Sorry this email is super long I just have heaps of energy since I'm writing this Sunday night and then I'm going to copy and paste it tomorrow!! I hope you all know that Christ is our Saviour and he died for YOU so that you can be happy! I hope you all have the best week ever I love you each so much! :')))

COMPANIONS WITH A MASS MURDERER (not clickbate)

Fun fact of the week: here in New Zealand parking lots are called car parks!

Fun quote of the week from my brother Grant: "go big and THEN go home" (referring to my mission)

After seven long months, the fervent prayers of the Rototuna ward have been answered and I have been transferred! Haha jokes I know that ward loved me, and I Will miss them dearly. But I have been transferred to Rotorua! It is an interesting place. It smells like sulfur and steam randomly rises out of the ground, but it is beautiful and the people here have so much potential. We have been finding and teaching this week and it has been just great!

My companion is Sister Spencer, the literal sweetest human on earth. Why do I call.her a mass murderer you ask? Because I'm the 5th companion shell have killed, 4th in a row... but In non mission terms she wouldn't hurt a fly :)

It was difficult to say goodbye to Sister Raymond, the vine queen who understood all my meme references, but I'm very excited for this transfer.

I hope yous know I love and appreciate all of you! Tha is for your constant support, even when I accidentally send my emails twice...

Ofa atu!
Sister Keller

I AM ROTOTUNA

Fun fact of the week: in the day of Moses they used to cut off thumbs as a punishment for those who stole :) fun things we teach when we go over the ten commandments!

Heyyy folks! This week has been CRAZY. And as touched as I am that you all responded to my email (and now I owe 5 people nz chocolate) that means I'll be writing every week... hope you're excited !

So some stuff went down with my daughter, Sister Tafao, and she had to return home to work on a few things. It was a struggle at first because I've grown to love her, but I know I'll be able to fulfill the Lords work this transfer :)

This week I've been with Sister Raymond which has been full of miracles! We set someone for baptism, taught a few good lessons, and have been contacting less actives trying to help them come back. We've been covering two areas, so currently I am the sister representative of Rototuna... (hence the email title) but it's been fun to be so busy!!

I know this is the trust church. I have struggled with my testimony a  bit, but I have come to see that the little miracles testify of the truthfulness of the gospel. I'm do grateful for this church, and for our loving heavenly father.

Ofa atu have a good week!

Here are some pictures of me with sister Raymond and a puppy, and Hobbiton!
