God's Love

Well, I don't really know what to tell you! Things are good! I love our zone! These sisters are so amazing. I got to clean the temple when it was closed for renovation. It was cool.  We went to a baptism this morning of an investigator lesson we had last week. We have a new investigator named Wayne. It has snowed a ton here and its killing me. 

 The music concert that the Sister Missionaries are putting on is on March 15.  I am playing the guitar for "I am Australian" and I am singing "Amazing Grace" with Sister Osorio.  I am also doing a sound of music medley with a group and  I am  in the choir so I am busy with that as well.

We did leadership training, and of course sister Elliott and I had to train. I am so grateful for companions.  I still don't feel I will ever present myself very eloquently.  I can't think in my head before I speak so it makes teaching and training hard. But at the same time it forces me to rely on the Lord 100% every time I open my mouth.  It went well. I thank Heavenly Father.

I need help with my family research. First, I know Poppy's line has been done but it needs to be inserted into family search, so if you could get me his dad's name and birth so I can get going on that that would be great. We have 1 hour once a week when we can do family history so give me an assignment.

I didn't know Janna was REALLY going on a mission! I am happy for her. I wish she would write me. I think she will go to Washington Spokane Mission....or Temple Square:)

I called in and scheduled a time to interview for that job at BYU. The interview is on Monday. I am trying to not get my hopes up too much because I REALLY WANT THAT JOB....:)

Thank you for spending the time to do that all for me mom.  I think I better just go straight to work after the mission.  Going home and then coming back seems like such a hassle. It makes me feel good to know I will have a purpose after my mission and I get work with the youth!

This week I have focused a lot on trying to feel God's love. Heavenly Father is ALL around me and sometimes I am just so blind to it. I can honestly say that there has never been a time that He has failed me. I love Him and I am trying to be a better daughter to him. Dad, I also wanted to let you know that at times it is hard for me to imagine Heavenly Father, but whenever I feel I need a tangible essence of him, I use you as my guide. Thank you. I just take your love for me and my love for you and try to magnify that and that helps me understand Gods love for me. I believe that is one  of the biggest purposes for earthly fathers. It puts the responsibility on fathers but when done right it is such a blessing for God's children to have earthly fathers.

Life is good. Sorry I don't have much to say. Love you!

-Hurrah for Israel!
