All the food she gave us!
Ice cream from Bishop
Family,
Oh
how I love conference weekend! I have so many fond memories with the
family on this weekend. I remember a lot of the time for the spring
session we would be traveling and listen to it in the car. Conference
weekend went by so fast for me! It always does now a day! I remember
when we were kids and conference used to take so long and so much of our
time. Now it flies by and leaves me wanting more. I believe the
greatest message I got from conference was that of member missionary
work. It's caused me to reflect and begin to set goals for the member
missionary I want to be when I return and for the rest of my life. I too
encourage you, as did many of the speakers, to pray about who you can
share the gospel with and to invite them over to hear from the
missionaries. I can't begin to tell you the blessings I have seen just
since Jake left for his mission a short 8 weeks ago. I pray that our
family can see the many many blessings from our service. Last night our
relief society pres. came over and brought boxes and boxes of food for
us. She stocked our shelves and our fridge. We couldn't believe it! I
was overwhelmed, again, with gratitude for all of the service that many
here are offering me. I don't doubt that Jake is getting taken care of
as well.
I was also wondering if you can send me Cassie Seamons e-mail address. I
need to write her. I got a letter from Krista Nielson this week! She's
awesome. She will be graduating from BYU-I. I feel like it was just
yesterday we were all in young woman's.
I was able to receive a lot of guidance and direction at conference. I
cant wait to study the talks. I went really wanting to know what more I
can do to endure as well as increasing my ability to receive personal
revelation. I was blessed to be given just the direction I was in need
of and more! I am so thankful for a modern day prophet and for the
organization of the church!
This
week I made taco soup! it was super yummy! Trying to get back in to the
habit of cooking actually meals. My dieting out here has been well...
NOT AT ALL. and I'm just looking forward to feeling good and healthy
again. We found out this week that we have 181 missionaries in our
mission! That's quite a bit I must say! There are new areas opening up
left and right. It's been fun to see the mission grow. Sis Dougal and I
just found out today that on Nov 5 we get to go to the Ft. Lauderdale
Temple to help trim the chandeliers - I am beyond excited! I almost
started to cry when I found out! Only the sister training leaders get to
help so I am definitely counting my blessings!
I have felt Gods awareness of me more than I ever have. I see promised
blessings that are found in my patriarchal blessing come to pass and I
feel the trust that the Lord has in me.
Dad
it sounds like fishing went really well! Thank you for sending the pic. We will have to go fishing next summer I don't know how I feel about ice
fishing. haha. I am glad you got to go to Utah mom and spend time with
your family. I cant believe Brandon leaves so soon for his mission. Dana
e-mailed me and it was nice to hear from her! I can't believe Gracie is
in jr high. I hope Jake is doing well! I won't hear from him until next
week which is okay! I pray for him all the time. I know he is doing a
great job!
i love you all so much and hope you have a great week! i will talk to you in 7 days! woot woot!
