oooooooh yes sister sister!
I love everything you send to me. Really my feelings of the spirit are so close to my feelings of love and joy...when you send me a package that reminds me of you and of our relationship I really just get all ecstatic and love it! I have so much self control and don't open the package until I have time to...but! Still it serves its GRAND purpose of telling me you love me and think of me back at home. Seriously I don't think you could do anything wrong! I also totally enoy seeing the family all together. I can just imagine how much fun it was. Mark did send me that letter and thank you, it was good to hear from him.
AND! I'm so thrilled you died laughing over my stories, did I tell you that I died laughing over your stories too?? I love how we relate to each other. Also thrilled that you enjoy hearing my testimoony! It is such a strength in my life....AND such is the REASON for my life! Everything I am and want to be revolves around the knowledge that I have.
We taught Zach for over 2 hours over two days...questions answers testimonies scriptures etc, etc. Then at the end he rejected our message because "going on a feeling just wasn't enough" for him. I am here to tell you that the spirit communicating truths is the way that we come to anything! I can conclude that every time I drop a ball: it will fall to the ground because of gravity...and then "prove" gravity exists. But my explanation is incomplete because it does not explain Jesus walking on the water. The FULLER and complete knowledge must be attained through the spirit, He can unfold that mystery to my understanding. Awesome!
I hope you are reading the scriptures and are open to inspiration and personal revelation. I just read a great talk by Elder Oaks ...mmmm I want to say Feb 92 or March 95 can't remember which one but it is awesome!!! Reading everyday keeps us able to receive personal revelation.
I am so so so thankful for the hour of personal study I have every day. The things I reaad in the morning are opened to my view and I can apply them to the people I teach . It is really a blessing that my mind is working as well as it is. I am adjusted to the sleep schedule now its great. I love the spirit, and I am getting into the work EVEN DEEPER! This part is exciting. It is now more of a choice to make. The first part was AWESOME and my whole life I'd built up to it. But now...time wears on and I have to choose what kind of a missionary I am going to be for the rest of my mission.
I am so excited to have this 100% dedication to the Lord. He is going to teach me what I really think I need to learn: balance! Great! I am ready. The Lord loves you so much. Let his love flow into you so that you can see it clearly for those around you.
Thank you so much for the support you are to me. I love you. You are dear to me and what more can I say? Take care of your spirit and take care of Eric.
news: I am excited that you are babysitting mys kids! Woot! and its about time hillary was fired. excellent. as for you-let your light shine!!! really, you will probably not get stoned...what is the worst thing that could happen to you? Endure a tiny iny sliver of what Christ did? I'd count that as a blessing. In the fire of adverstiy the lord calls his servants...some quote liek that from J rueben clark.
It's the end of july now?? What??? A transfer is over?? Coooool! I wonder what will happen. I will probably move and get to emailing on Tuesday....I took tons of pictures at Cape Flattery so you will get them on the SD card. You rock and I love it.
