October 19-letter to sister

You are cool!

 

Way cool.  And probably enormous!  Well, you are probably super cute...and just feel huge.  I would.  I've seen some pregnant ladies.  Hey just so you know.  You being pregnant has given me a huge edge on contacting families.  So, thanks!  Part of the Lord's plan.  I just tell people that I'm going to be an Aunt in 2 months...1 month...3 weeks...1 week...maybe today.  Still don't know...and they are just like:  Awesome!  Families are great and I say - I know!  And they are so important.  and viola - we are talking about the gospel!  You little pregnant missionary you!

 

I'm in a good mood - only because God has blessed me so much.  I love my mission.  I was really dreading going home!  (You know that).  So, I began to pray to Heavenly Father that He would help me - and He has.  Not to mention that my last three days have been packed with spiritual blessings:  Friday - XPAM (temple); Saturday - Conference; Sunday - Conference.  = Inspriation.  I also love our Prophet!  I am so thankful that He reminded me to be grateful!  I am grateful and this mission has been absolutely the most thrilling, growing, miraculous experience of my life!  I can understand the frustration of Moroni when He couldn't express well His feeling for the Savior - It is impossible even in my native language.  My feeling for my mission are something I've felt over this past year and now that I have reflected on the time - I am even more so grateful for every second!  Unfortunately, I am very weak at expressing them.  So take a second and feel it!  Extreme happiness!  Isn't it just radiating!

 

Yes, that is the joy from the Savior!  Joy He wants us to experience always! 

 

I love you!

I am excited to be there - imagined or...by the will of God.  (I prayed for it...once...and then I realized that I was silly and told God to just be in charge...He knows best.)  Being on a mission we get so specific in our prayers - I've prayed for some pretty crazy things!  Like once we were trying to sleep and the night club underneath was partying - said a prayer...

or, for anti husbands of amazing women we were teaching...

 

Which, by the way have been answered!  I just called on Friday this amazing investigator from my first transfer!  She was golden!  And wanted to get baptized - and her husband wouldn't allow it.  She just divorced him - 2 weeks ago.  She is happy and feels like this is what God wanted her to do in her life.  She is positive that the Lord is directing her!  I am happy for her and hope she will come back to the realization that she had over a year ago. 

 

Well, like you said...I'll see you in probably a week.

are there tickets already?

I love you!

 

and your crazy husband.

 

and your adorable little baby...she is perfect!  krim poopy diapers...

 

Love,
