This week has been Great! I have continued
to work in Both the Mid-single adult ward and also the Seapoint ward. I
have been able to many things happen this week! We had Caeden come back
after 5 weeks of not coming to church. We hope to be able to meet with
soon.
This week I have done a lot of reflecting on my life
and on the experience that I have had thus far on my mission and look
back I can see how much the Lord have been there to help me get through
the hard times. I was thinking one of the most life changing experiences
and one of the biggest turning points of my mission was the death of my
Dearest Grandma Ruth. To give a little bit of background on the story.
Toward the end of Grandma Ruth's life she went in and out of the
Hospital and I the opportunities to call and speak with her right before
Mother's day last year. Where I was able to hear her voice and hear her
say these words which will stay with me forever til I see her again, as
they were the last words I heard her speak before returning to her
Heavenly Home. She said to me "I am so proud of what you are doing on
your mission and the for things that you are learning there. I wish
that I could stay her til you get home, but I just don't think that will
happen. Don't cry. I will be okay. I love you and keep working hard,
having fun Remember that I will be with you when you need me." I
remember then hearing over the next several months news of her health
going up and done, she would be doing good then not so good. Then one
day, She was taken home the see those who had gone before her. She
happened to return home shortly after President Patterson came to be our
mission President.
In December of last year I was able to talk to
President Patterson about things that had happened in the life of my
grandma that didn't make sense to me at the time, and he was able to
give me a new perspective on the situation that had happened. and with
that new perspective that I have gained a strong testimony of the Plan
of Happiness that our loving Heavenly Father has given to us. I love
this Gospel so much and I am so grateful for those who sacrificed to
allow me to be born into a wonderful family that had the gospel. I have
been able to see the Lord's hand as I have trying to overcome the
weaknesses that I have. I have been able to see the Atonement of Jesus
Christ work in the lives of other people and also in my our life. I know
that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that he knows our pains and our
sorrows. He came to this earth so that we could have the opportunity to
return to live with our loving heavenly father and so that we could
live with our family forever. I know that Joseph Smith was a man called
of God to restored the same church that existed at the same time that
Christ was here on the earth. I know that the Book of Mormon is Another
Testament of Jesus Christ and that by reading it we can gain a better
understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I know that God is there
for us all. I know that God knows and loves us so much! He is there for
us! He will be there to help and strengthen us. Love you all and hope
that you have a great week.
Love,
