Post-fast

This may seem kind of corny, but I feel a whole lot better about the world after fasting today! It feels like there's a lot more hope in the world, and that's a good thing!

Are you ready to fast?

I'm super excited for the fast tomorrow! I invite you to join me!

A conference perspective

I had an epiphany that totally changed my outlook on General Conference. At first I was kind of bummed that it wouldn't be in the Conference Center and the Tabernacle Choir wouldn't be there. Instead of big crowds in big buildings, though, it's more like the leaders are coming in to my apartment to talk with me, personally. It's like the way Jesus taught; it's like Joseph Smith's experience in the Sacred Grove.

I think it's going to be kind of wow!

Social distance

Can you believe all the crazy things that are happening? My mission lost about a third of its missionaries, with people being reassigned or released. Those who are left are super limited with what they can do and where they can go, if they can go anywhere at all!

There's a lot they can do with technology, like using FaceTime or Zoom for lessons, doing Facebook live stream lessons and other stuff. But they're lucky to have the new Book of Mormon videos — otherwise they'd be stuck watching reruns of The District of The Safety Zone!

Take care, and wash your hands!

Speaking my language

There are days when I wish that people just knew what I meant without trying to understand what I'm saying. You know what I mean?

The world is lit

I love #LightTheWorld! It's such an easy reminder to do those little things that make a big difference in our individual lives. And it helps us to minister like the Savior did, one by one.

Hope you're having a great Christmas season! Keep lighting the world!

Squeeeeee!!!!!

I can't believe it! Volume 2 of my missionary blog is out! It's called Sis. Kerry Jo's Mission Blog Volume 2: The First Transfer is the Hardest. It's available on Amazon! This one takes me from my greenie area with Sis. Bae all the way through to Sis. Han (bless her heart!). It's chock full of amazing memories — and a few things I'd like to forget!
