...and
it makes me happy that we can be together forever. Seriously. How
blessed we are! I love you all. Dad, Mom, Liesl, Jonathan, Heather,
Danielle, Kirsten, and Donovan. And all the rest of our family. :) I
love you!
Thanks for writing me, Mom and Grandma! Also, Li, I got
your letter this last week. I know God will guide you. He always does.
Sometimes it takes alot of faith and humility and a lot more faith to
quiet down our fears and our frustrations enough to just listen. The
wonderful, beautiful thing about it is that he knows all of our fears
and frustrations and he will help us get over them, if we let him. And
then he'll lead us where we need to go. It 's crazy. And awesome. Crazy
awesome, if you will.
Right now, we are teaching a bunch of awesome
people. Ricardo, who has a baptismal date for this Saturday, didn't come
to church this week. And we haven't been able to teach him because
weekdays he works until 8:30 or 9 every day. Or later. He 's a really
sharp young man, though. We need to call him to see what happened. His
phone was turned off the last time we tried. Also, we have a huge group
of children that we teach, and they come to church and to activities
(not all of them, but some). We need to find some way to get through to
their parents. What do you think would work? They're super awesome,
sharp kids. I just love them.
I know that God has a plan for us and that he loves
us. I know Jesus Christ lives and that he is our Savior. And I know
that as we sacrifice for them, we become more like them, because they
have sacrificed everything for us. And as we serve and sacrifice, we
come to understand better and feel more the love that they have for us.
I encourage you to read the conference talk that Elder Oaks gave in
this last conference about sacrifice. I read it this morning. Can you
tell?
I love you!!!!
