Week 14: Hi. I'm 3 months old.

This is the Kirbys. They have voices like angels. I am so blessed to be a part of the Surrey 3rd Ward. These people are so good. The Kirbys called us last night and asked if we could drop by really quick because they had something they wanted to give us. Sure enough, they surprised us with Christmas Stockings full of goodies! My heart is so full of gratitude. Although we don't have a Christmas tree yet, and Christmas isn't quite the same on a mission as it is at home, I am so thankful for the great opportunity I have to share to share it with Heavenly Fathers children here in Canada, especially when they spoil us rotten;)

One of these days I'll get a picture with Shelby. She is my best friend here. She is one of our investigators, and one of the best people I have ever met in my life. I am so thankful to be serving a mission and to be trusted enough by the Lord to take care of some of his most precious children. 

I hope things are going well for everyone back home. I sure do miss the South. 

Which reminds me, I think I forgot to share a super cool miracle from a couple of weeks ago. Sister Wright and I were out knocking doors and we met the coolest family! When she answered the door she wasn't so thrilled to see two missionaries on her doorstep. Still, she listened. Somehow we got to talking about where we are from and it turns out that her and her family had recently moved to Canada from Alabama. She was so shocked, and thoroughly overjoyed so she decided to invite us in. It was such a tender mercy. Anyways, I'm out of time like usual. But I love and miss you all. 

Love always,

Sister Robertson

Well we get transfer news this past weekend. Sister Wright is heading up to Duncan, which is in the Vancouver Island, and I am staying here in Surrey 3rd. My new companion is Sister Ricks, and the only thing I know about her is that she can sing opera, so stay tuned ;)

 

This is Sister Yonk. I love her. 

Caroling (:

Sister Yonk and I went on exchanges two weeks ago, and we taught this way cute Chinese family and then afterwards the mom was like, "Come see our tree house." So this is part of their tree house. It was so cute! 

Week 13: "And This Is Why Lion's Eat Their Young"

We had our Ward Christmas Party this Saturday so yay for Christmas

HELLLLLLOOOOO FRIENDS!!!

First I'll explain the title really quick:

Last night we ate dinner with a member family and some of their friends. They fed us Thanksgiving dinner 🙌 ,which is honestly the only reason I even remembered Thanksgiving was this week (you'll see from my pictures we have already moved onto Christmas). Anyways, so we were eating dinner and all the little kids kept whining all dinner and bugging their parents every 5 minutes, which honestly was super funny and just reminded me of home. So at some point in the conversation, after the kids had interrupted for like the 38398 time, one of the dads just said, "And this is why Lion's eat their young." It was great. 

Anyways moving on.

So a lot of things have happened these last couple of weeks that I have failed to mention. Essentially these past couple of weeks our Zone has been talking alot about being on fire. About how we need to first be on fire as individuals, so that we can then be companionships on fire, and then a mission on fire. Of course, the problem is that it all starts first with ourselves. Which is something I've been trying to work on my entire mission now. Everything in a mission relies on being in tune with the Holy Ghost and with God, which is literally the hardest thing in the entire world. And things have been going really well still, but I still know I've been holding something back. The problem is I'm not quite sure what. 

Well two weeks ago we had a Zone Conference where we had the opportunity to hear from Elder Teh from the Quorom of the Seventy and our mission president. We talked about a lot of different things and the spirit was really strong. Really though, just this past week a lot of the things I've been feeling as well as the things I've been learning have finally clicked. 

At Zone Conference, President talked about the principle of "Just doing it." He said that we need to stop doubting, because when we doubt ourselves and others, all that happens is we go back and forth in circles and then nothing is ever accomplished. And then, Satan wins. Again. I remember President Burt saying this two weeks ago and I knew he was so right, still it was a lot easier said than done. 

Really I don't have enough time or honestly know how to even explain it, but after my exchange with Sister Yonk this last week, and the Training I gave in our last district meeting I just finally felt like I'm on fire. I'm not quite sure what happened, or when, but I learned to stop doubting everything. That I already know the things that Heavenly Father needs me to do so I just need to do them. That thinking about home sometimes and about being a mom isn't a bad thing, because those are the reasons I am our here serving. Because I know that this gospel blesses families, and my greatest desire is to just help others to be able to see that same joy that I've experienced. 

There is a sentence in one of the pamphlets we teach from that says because of the gospel, "you can experience joy even in times of trail, and you can face life's challenges with a spirit of peace." That's what this gospel has given me. Because life is still hard, and each and every one of us still faces so many challenges and trials, but through God and the gospel of Jesus Christ, we are able to find happiness and experience joy even in the darkest of times.

I love the Gospel. I know that it is true, and I am so thankful for the opportunity I have to share it with others. I love serving a mission, even though it stinks sometimes (mostly because you are learning and growing everyday), it is the biggest blessing. This past week I just realized how much my family really does mean to me. I love you guys, and I'm sorry for not always being the best. 

Anyways, God is real. He loves you. Trust him, and let him work through you. 

I miss and love you all.

Love always,

Sister Robertson

I burnt my hand and all we had was a banana in the freezer

Week 11/12: "Cold hands, warm heart."

HI LOVLIES ❤

So an amazing thing happened two weeks ago. I meant to send this out last week....but I ran out of time. 

Sister Wright and I have been teaching this super cute fijian couple, Michael and Sima, and their little boy named Shyan. So they are SO sweet, and love taking the lessons, mostly because they just love learning and because they enjoy our company. Well, because of that, we've been struggling to get them to keep commitments and to progress because they are really casual about the entire situation. So last Friday, we brought our Bishop to the lesson with us. Bishop Prasad is also Fijian, and he was previously Hindu. MIcheal and Sima have been having a lot of problems financially and with family, and really, if I know nothing else, it is that God sent us to them. Because at then end of the day, the Gospel Of Jesus Christ is really what helps us to have the strength and the understanding to endure through this life. 

Anyways, so we get there and Bishop Prasad speaks to them in Hindi the entire time. We had no idea what they were saying, but the spirit we felt was undeniable. Although I didn't understand what he was saying, because of the Holy Ghost, I knew that what he was saying was true. It was a super amazing opportunity that really strengthened my testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel and the blessings that it brings. Because even though we don't always understand everything (even when it is spoken to us in English), we can know what is good and what is true as long as we are willing to ask God sincerely. Heavenly Father will always answer us by the power of the Holy Ghost. It's a promise, in both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. All it takes is a willing heart. 

Also, we were out knocking doors the other night, and of course my hands were freezing because its winter time, and it's raining. So the sweetest thing ever happened! We knocked on a door and were talking to this super sweet old man. When we shook his hand and introduced ourselves he was a little startled. Then he said, "You have cold hands, but a warm heart." IT WAS SO CUTE. What a blessing, especially after walking around in the cold all day. And then the next door we happened to knock was an even greater blessing. We met the sweetest old man, Edward. Once again, the comment was made that my hands were cold ( if I had a dime for every time someone has told me that these past couple of weeks I'd be able to fund my entire mission). But then he insisted that I take a pair of his gloves- he doesn't have any grandchildren around to give them too. IT WAS SO CUTE! And now I have a super sweet pair of black leather gloves. 

I only have a couple of pictures this week... Sister Wright had most of them on her Camera, but her camera broke last week.... so we're hoping we didn't loose all of them. Pray for us. 

We've been going out Christmas Caroling to Less-actives in the ward (Yes, we realize it's November, but Thanksgiving already happened here, so really, it's never to early to celebrate Christmas.)

Also because there is literally 32821374912791 different cultures here, Sister Wright and I have been asking people that we meet how to say different phrases in their native language. So here's a couple, excuse me on the spelling.

Yak she mash- How are you? (Polish)

Haben Guten Tag- Have a good day. (German)

Sat Shri Acal- Hello/ God is one. (Punjabi)

Don't ask, because I don't know.

 I'm calling this one Silly Sisters! Perhaps they were practicing and getting ready for Christmas Caroling. :)

Week 10: God is so good!

 It's Raining a lot!

So first off I would just like to give a shout out to my drama babies back home, CONGRATS!!! The play and costumes just get better and better every year man. YA'LL ARE AMAZING! Wish I could've been there to see it, but all i hear is good things, so I know ya'll are out there kicking some butt. BOB WHO? BOB JONES! Anyways, you are all beautiful people and I love you. I hope you are taking care of Momma Davis, and Craft for me? And especially, Mrs. Shari Kingsford.

So this week I've been so blessed. First off, I've never been a really good scripture reader, ever. And so that was one of my biggest fears in going on a mission is that I'm supposed to teach people about the Book of Mormon, when I've barely read any of it myself. So anyways, I made a goal to read the Book of Mormon for 30 minutes every morning. I tried it several times, and I still just felt like I was getting nothing out of it. So then, in efforts to be more effective, I would study Preach My Gospel (which is like the missionary bible. It has everything we teach in it.), but of course, i was still feeling super inadequate when it comes to scripture reading. So I'd try again for a couple of days, and then the cycle would continue. After talking with Sister Kendall Kingsford (even though she is already home) she said that it was similar for her too. That she read it for months and felt like she was getting nothing out of it. But she kept going, and one day it just clicked. Heavenly Father blessed her because she was faithful and because she kept trying and just kept enduring. So I decided this last week to do exactly that. To stop wasting time worrying about if I was getting anything out of it or not and just to read every morning and night. I still don't understand some of the things I have been reading, but when I was thinking about it yesterday I just realized that I have been WAY happier every day since I started reading it. What a tender mercy. And even though I still don't know everything, I know that as I keep reading, that Heavenly Father will bless me and as long as I'm faithful and press forward, that I will be blessed and that He will be able to use me as a tool in His hands to help bring others unto Christ. 

It's still hard, and I still often feel very inadequate, but my testimony of Heavenly Father using "the weak and the simple" to bring forth his Gospel grows stronger every day. 

I love what Elder Dale G. Renlund said in this past October General Conference when he was called to be an apostle. He shared an experience in which he was called to be the Bishop of a ward many years before and what his brothers response was. His brother said:

"You need to know that the Lord hasn't called you because of anything you have done.... the Lord has called you for what He needs to do through you, and that will only happen if you do it His way."

Man oh man, does that ring true to me every day. Heavenly Father created us each with such a unique purpose. Our job here on Earth, is to discover that purpose and to let Heavenly Father use us to bring forth his gospel and to help those around us. Of course, that is much easier said than done. But here's to trying a little bit harder this week to be a little bit better.

The best miracle from this week:

Shelby. She is the biggest blessing in this world. What a great example she is to her family. She is so strong and has been progressing like crazy. She has been worried about baptism because her family loves and supports her of course, but still isn't really living the gospel. And the gospel is a hard path to walk alone. Anyways, Sister Wright and I taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Spirit was so strong and the two members we brought bore such powerful testimony and experiences. It was incredible, and it helped me realize not only how important the Spirit it in teaching, but in having members at lessons is too. It just helped Shelby realize really that she doesn't have to walk this path alone. That even though her family isn't really progressing with her, right now at least, that she has Jesus Christ. And because Jesus Christ had to walk that path alone, we never will. 

God is so good, we just have to let him in.

I love you all so so much and i hope things are going well in Alabama. I sure do miss the South.

Love always, 

Sister Robertson 

I've been out for 2 months last week. Crazy, how fast time flies!

We got some new Sister Missionaries in our Ward! :)

Week 9: I love being a missionary

To all my favorite people ❤

Sorry I haven't written in the past two weeks. But I just want everyone to know how much I love them, and how much your Heavenly Father loves you. I've been feeling that a lot lately. Things are good, and hard. But I'm learning a lot everyday. We got Transfer news last week, and me and Sister Wright are staying in Surrey. Yay! This area has blessed us with so so many people. 

Something I've been learning these past weeks and am still learning is just how much Heavenly Father loves each and everyone of us. SO much. No matter what. There is nothing we can do, that Heavenly Father won't still welcome us home with open arms for. Just remember the story of the Prodigal son. The really cool thing is that we can know Heavenly Father loves us because he sent his son, Jesus Christ to die and atone for all of our sins, for all the pains and sorrows that we have and will ever experience. And the best part about it is that his atonement covers e v e r y t h i n g. For myself anyways, sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough for Heavenly Fathers forgiveness. Like I'm not putting forth my best effort, and so why do I deserve His help, or His grace. 

Satan is so so sneaky. He wants us to feel and think those things because then He's won. Because when we think those things, we allow ourselves to feel unworthy, and to not accept the help from Heavenly Father that we so desperately need. Which in turn, creates a distance between us and Heavenly Father. Through this we are not allowing ourselves to apply the atonement, and to have the peace in knowing that we are not perfect, and that that is okay, and also the strength to still keep trying.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS, FAMILY AND FRIENDS

We do not have to reach a certain amount of works before He forgives us. 

He will a l w a y s forgive us, IF we let Him. 

I love you guys, and I know that Heavenly Father is real and that he loves us. I have felt him testify of that love to me of myself, and of other people. In fact, it is one of the greatest blessings we get to experience on our missions- feeling Heavenly Fathers love for his children. Really, truly feeling is all the way through.  

I haven't had the opportunity to really share some of my experiences in teaching yet, mostly by my own fault. Since we have been white-washing we didn't come into an area with already solid investigators, so we really have just been out finding people to teach. Through that process we have been blessed to find SO many people, although not many of them have been solid and stayed. Which is why I haven't written about them. But I figure it doesn't really matter. Because Heavenly Father is the only one who truly knows their intentions and what they are going through right now. And as missionaries, we stumble upon people at different times of their lives. And sometimes we are really just meant to be the planters- to be the missionaries who plant that first seed of faith in the Gospel. Although, these last two weeks, Sister Wright and I have also been blessed to have some people in which we get to nurture that seed of faith. 

So here are some of the amazing people we have been able to work with.

1) Shelby and Kara- they are actually the assistants investigators, but we have been tag teaming it since they are out of town so much for our Mission President. Also, Shelby is a teenager and it is easier for her to have a connection with us as sisters. Either way, we love sharing them with the Elders ❤ Kara is the momma (her husband isn't super interested yet, but he is WAY supportive). Kara came from a really rough background and has struggled with alcohol and drugs most of her life. Despite her and Skip's (her husband) addictions, they are incredible people and incredible parents. They truly love their kids, but also understand the balance between being your kids best friend, and being their parent. Shelby is 16 and she is SO GOOD. She is the example for her family for sure. She really loves learning about the gospel, but she really is so willing to try it out for herself. Last week she felt for the first time that she got an answer to her prayer. Now she is praying about baptism, WHICH IS INCREDIBLE, and I know that that answer will come soon. She loves this gospel. And she truly recognizes the blessings that it brings, when you let it. Kara knows that it is true to, she is just struggling with really committing to trust God. But she'll come around too ;)

2) Kori and Sean- Kori is a Recent Convert and her husband Sean is investigating. They have also had super rough pasts, but are working to overcome addictions. They have a little one on the way In December. I CANT WAIT. Kori and Sean have been struggling ALOT lately with keeping commitments, and have fallen into some of their really bad habits. We just got them two weeks ago and it is incredible to see the changes that they are beginning to make again. It's slow, but it is so good. This couple are two of the people that I have felt Heavenly Fathers love for SO strongly. And as I've been learning to be more patient with myself and to utilize the atonement, I have been able to share in those feelings with them. Heavenly Father really does put people into your life so that you can bless one another. Kori and Sean came to church this week finally and it was so good (: We are so proud of them!

3) Teresa- I love this woman. We found her knocking I think a month ago and have been doing service, and helping her move once a week. She is the cutest, and just loves sewing and doing every crafty knick-knack thing you could think of. She hasn't been really too interested in the church, or really even in God or that matter, she just really loves the company (little does she realize it's because of the spirit we bring). Each time we have come over we always pray with her and she allows us to share a spiritual message. We've taught her about Heavenly Father and about His love for her, but she isn't so convinced. The funny thing, is I know she's felt the spirit. She just keeps denying it because she doesn't want to trust God quite yet. She too comes from a very rough background, abusive family, etc. This last week we had to do a hard thing. We didn't want to, so we were kind of putting it off. We had to tell her that we couldn't come over anymore. That although we really do love her, and I mean I LOVE HER, but that we are missionaries. And if she isn't interested in learning about the Gospel and in taking steps of faith to know for herself if it is true or not, that we can't keep coming over every week. Of course, we would still stop in and say Hi when we are in the area, but we can't keep coming over anymore. But the amazing this is that before we told her, as were getting up to leave she was the one to say, "Alright, now who is saying the prayer today?" And then we kind of starting walking out and still hadn't told her we couldn't come over anymore, and she was like "Wait, we didn't set up a time for you to come back." So then we told her the bad news, and she thought about it and said to call her later and she'd think about it. The point of this whole story is progress. SHE WANTED US TO SAY A PRAYER. WHAT A MIRACLE. I know she'll come along one of these days. 

Anyways, that is all for now. Hopefully I'll be able to send some pictures this week. 

Love always,

Sister Robertson

Week 6: "I want my Turkey back"

So it was Thanksgiving yesterday.... LOL. (Canadian Thanksgiving) No really it was Way good, and the members spoiled us. We had 3 Thanksgiving meals (Sat, Sun, and Mon.) 

But me and Sister Wright decided to embrace the American culture on Thanksgiving because well Murica'. So here we are dressed in Red, White, and blue (:

 

{ Sister Wright and I. This is my Companion. She is fro Pasan, Utah. She rocks. Somehow she had never had ice cream from an Ice Cream truck ever before in her life (not even in the states), so while we were tracting one day we saw one and jumped at the opportunity. We also didn't have enough Canadian coins to pay for it, so he gave us one for free :') Tender mercies of The Lord man. }

HEY CHICKENS HOW IS EVERYONE. 

Lets think, what happened this week.  

So, a lot of the members all call me Sister Alabama, which I actually love. Nothing is better than the South, and barely anyone here has been to the states, let alone the South. They are all, however, very disappointed that I don't have an accent. So there's that.

Anyways, this past week I've been struggling a lot. I mean I was happy, I guess, but it was more just like contentment. And I felt the spirit, just not as much as I wanted to, or really needed to (because afterall the Spirit is the real teacher here). Some days I felt very overwhelmed with all the things I needed to be doing. I felt and feel very inadequate in a lot of ways, and just like there isn't enough time in the world to be able to master as many skills as I need to. Which is funny, because on a mission I have more time than anyone else to be so immersed in the Gospel and in Jesus Christ. Anyways, this past month, our Zone has been focusing on the atonement and in strengthening our faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement. Just really having the faith to know that we will find families to teach and baptize. 

Well, two nights ago, Sister Wright and I were doing our Comp Inventory and our nightly planning and we just both felt so blah. Like we want to be so on fire and to really get this area going, but we just didn't know how. We felt the impression that we really should just stop planning and take time to pray to our Heavenly Father. So we did just that. Essentially, I cried myself to sleep. The next morning, however I woke up with slightly more clarity. I just felt like what I needed to work on was Humility. So i studied that section in our PMG and in the scriptures during personal studies that morning, and I just came to the realization that that's what was holding me back. I guess I've just been so worried about feeling disappointed in myself and my inadequacies, or disappointed when lessons fall through, or when I don't follow a prompting of the spirit, that I put up a wall almost. Let me see if I can explain this more clearly. 

I know that Heavenly Father can do anything, and that He can make miracles happen. But I started telling myself that Heavenly Father could do anything that He wanted to. And in doing so, stopped really having faith that if it was something that I wanted, that Heavenly Father would make that happen. I was reading in 1 Nephi 15: 7-11 and it just hit me. In those verses it talks about how Lamen and Lemuel don't get answers from Heavenly Father. So their Brother Nephi says, Well did you ask him? And they say well, no we haven't, but he still hasn't told us anything. And the nephi says,

 "Do ye not remember the things which the Lord hath said?- If ye will not harden your hearts, and ask me in faith, BELIEVING that ye shall receive, with diligence in keeping my commandments, surely these things shall be made known unto you. 

My heart is not quite as hard as Lamen and Lemuels. I am always asking my Heavenly Father for more understanding. But I just realized that I was asking almost the wrong way. I was forgetting, that if it was a righteous desire of my heart that Heavenly Father would make it happen, because sometimes, even if it is a righteous desire Heavenly Father doesn't give it to us, because he has something even better in store. But often times, when we don't get what we want we get upset and hurt. So to avoid all of that, I guess I stopped really exercising that faith that when I asked Heavenly Father to make things happen that he would. I just kept saying like well, if He wants me to find a family to baptize then He will. But Heavenly Father wants to give us the desires of our hearts. So if I want to baptize a family, then I need to just have the faith that He will provide a way. And if it doesn't happen the way I think it will, than that's okay because he has something better planned for me, and I can rely on the atonement of jesus Christ to overcome those feelings of disappointment and upsetness, until I am okay in knowing that Heavenly Father had a different plan for me.

Idk, if any of that made any sense to any of you. But that is what I really learned this week. In the process of avoiding feeling upset, I wasn't allowing myself to really rely on the Savior and on his atonement to lift me up, and I was trusting that my Heavenly Father loves me enough to give me the righteous desires of my heart. Which is why I started feeling nothing. Like just content. Like I wasn't sad, but I wasn't really happy or passionate either. Because like it says in the BOM, we can't know ture happiness without experiencing pain or sorrow. And because I had tried to block myself from feeling upset (rather than relying on the atonement to help me overcome that) I wasn't experiencing true joy, and I also wasn't allowing myself to rely on the Lord. So not only was I just trying not to feel upset, but in the process I was pushing Heavenly Father away because I wasn't humbling myself enough to trust him, or to let him work through me. 

I still don't know how much sense that makes to anyone. I'm running out of time, and I feel like I've been rambling but I guess at the end of the day I just want everyone to know how much their Heavenly Father loves them. SO SO MUCH! And to remind everyone to rely on Jesus Christ and his atonement to lift you up when you've fallen. Because He died for you. 

I'm out of time so next week I'll explain the whole "i want my Turkey back" thing, but just know I am doing great and I love my mission.

Love always,

Sister Robertson

Every P-day, Sister Wright and I have a goal to try/do something new. Especially Canadian related. So here is my 1st Wonder bar. Canadians love them.

 Last week I had the opportunity to go on exchanges with my STL. This is Sister Ritchie. She is from California, and now Utah. She is basically me, re-incarnated, but also improved. She's been out for 14 months I think now.

Sister Ritchie's grandparents served a mission in Jerusalem, and while they were there they bought this hand-carved Liahona. LIKE WOW. I had to get a picture with it, since afterall, I am Nephi's mother.

Week 5: A Powerful Testimony

Oct 5, 2015

Sorry, still no pictures...

 Where do I even begin.... man a day in the mission is like a life time. 

Well some more fun facts about Canada:

1. Literally every house here has 1 or 2 basement suites, so there is like 5 families living in 1 house essentially. 

2. You have to pay for your grocery bags and to use a shopping cart

Yay.

Anyways, I've learned a lot this week. I'm sure you're all tired of hearing me say that, but I hope that I'll be able to say that every week for the rest of my mission. 

This last week I had the opportunity to go on exchanges (you switch companions for one day). So I got to go to the Surrey- central mission with Sister Ritchie (she is one of our STLS- Sister Training Leaders) and Sister Wright (my Companion) stayed here in Surrey- north with Sister Tingston (our other STL). Man does Heavenly Father know me like crazy. It was exactly what I needed. 

I don't have a lot of time to e-mail today (which reminds me, P-day is on Tuesday next week because Canada's "Thanksgiving" is on Monday next week) but I just wanted to bear my testimony. I just realized while watching General conference how amazing our leaders are. This conference taught me A LOT. One of the general authorities spoke about Elder L Tom. Perry and how strong his conviction of the gospel was. That he knew just how important it is, that he testify of Jesus Christ until his dying breath. I want to be like that. I want to be able to testify of my Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, until my last dying breath. Because he is so good. 

So my testimony is this:

I know that my Savior lives. I know that he died on the cross to know me. To experience every sin, pain, and sorrow that any man has ever felt. I know that it is through Him, that we are able to return to live with our Heavenly Father again. I love this gospel. I am so so blessed to be able to learn and live it every single day.Because that is what it takes. I am so grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ, and for the strengthening power that it provides. It is through him, that weak and simple things are made great. Thank goodness for that sweet promise, because without it, I would never measure up. I love my Heavenly Father and my Savior, Jesus Christ. And no matter how hard this life, and this mission get, I choose to stay in the vineyard, because He stayed in the garden. Life is hard brothers and sisters, but Heavenly Father will never, and I mean never give you a trial unless he prepares you a way to get through it. So have the faith to endure. Have the faith to know that He is God, and we are not. His plans are far better than any we have created for ourselves. So trust in him, because he will always deliver you. "We do not have to be perfect, but we do have to get good at being better."- Kim B. Clark How thankful I am for modern revelation, and for the guidance that our Prophets and Apostles provide. I know they have been called of God. I know sincere prayer is the cure for everything. Heavenly Father loves us so so much. His hand is always outstretched and ready to receive, it is just up to us to reach out and take it. I love you all so so much. And I pray that you will each rely on the Savior in both the troubled storms and peaceful waves in this life. I love you, and I know that He loves you, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
