HOW ARE YOU ALL?! How is my weeping family doing? Is everyone making sure that my mom doesnt have a meltdown with Kyle gone? I HOPE SO! Kyle sounds great in his letter! I am so proud of him. He is going to be an amazing missionary. KRISTY! I want to read Tiff's letter, so make sure that you forward it to me every week if that is possible!
Anywho... it was been a GREAT WEEK! I really dont know why, and I say this a lot lately, but I am SO DANG HAPPY. I go to bed each night literally so happy. I cannot stop smiling. It is truly one of the greatest feelings to be serving these people here. They are amazing. I have gained such a love for the people here, eventhough they are crazy!
I wanted to tell you all about yet another member reference that we have! Their names are Ian and Lorey. They are a young couple that we just started teaching, and they are amazing. They understand everything so well. They have such insightful questions. They are so teachable. And they came to the ward baptism that we had this week! It made me so happy to see them sitting there, singing all the hymns with us. They told us how beautiful they thought the baptism was. They are such an example to me of the chosen children of God who are really ready to hear this message.
I also learned a great lesson about virtue this week. Before, I guess that I really didnt understand virtue. But in our companionship study, Hermana Parry told me that virtue is POWER. I always want to have more of the power of God in my life to help me do this work, and I really learned that we really need to separate ourselves from worldly things to truly have that power. That is why we are here on the mission... to truly learn to be more virtuous in this world.
Lastly, I wanted to tell you just how much I LOVED President Eyring`s talk at the women`s session. He told us that he loved the phrase "charity never faileth." I had been thinking a lot about how I can become a better missionary, and it finally hit me. Charity is the answer. If I want to be more consecrated, I really need to learn to have more charity and love. Charity never faileth! So if we have charity, we will always win! It has been my goal to pray to have more love and charity in my heart for these people, so I can change their lives and mine.
- We had a really cool hermana`s conference with president, and he made us taco salad with LETTUCE and SOURCREAM! I almost died... I havent those for a whole year.
- HAPPY EASTER AND CONFERENCIA! I really dont know if I have ever been more excited about general conference in my whole life. I cannot wait to hear the guidance that I will receive that will shape the next 6 months of my mission.
- I want all the girls in my family to read the talk by Elaine S. Dalton called "Remember who you are." READ ESPECIALLY KAYLA, NICOLE, LIZZY and GRACIE. This talk is so beautiful. We should all be searching for what is really most important... spiritual beauty.
Have a great Easter!
Love,
