I'M
STAYING IN LOST MOUNTAIN!! And I’m training a new MTC missionary greenie AND continuing as Sister Training
Leader but without Sister Nelson :( I'll be flying solo for these two zones.
Heaven help me! But fo realz, I'm stoked! I would have never predicted this! I
guess my work in the Lost Mountain Ward isn't done yet! The Lost Mountain
Ward really is home and I'm over the moon that the Lord still needs me
here. Hurrah! :)
I'm
filled with peace right now and I can’t tell you how wonderful that feels. I
realized I am so silly to stress. Does anything ever get resolved by stressing
or getting upset? Never. When we trust in the Lord. We have nothing to fear. I
read this scripture during my "trek through the Book of Mormon"
(President Harding's assignment for the month of June/July in honor of the
early Pioneers) and in Mosiah 23 it said, "hush your fears...cry unto
the Lord (in prayer)...and he will deliver you." I've repeated that in my
head all week and it has given me such solace. The Book of Mormon is
incredible. It is another witness or testament of the divinity of our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ! I love the scriptures; they truly are little
pockets of pure light and every time we read them, our desire
to be be more righteous increases. Read them. Don’t neglect
them. There is some serious power in those sacred pages of scripture.
Atlanta,
Georgia...a.k.a...a hub a hades! The humidity has rolled in and thank heavens
for air conditioning, deodorant, oil blots and running water. I'll admit, sometimes
I'll daydream about star floating with my BFFs in the ocean or hitting up the
“B of H” with my home girls or slam dunk contents in our pool in the backyard
with my precious bro bros. It doesn’t make me home sick, it honestly just makes
me even more appreciative of the abundant blessings I've been given and so it
motivates me to invite others to receive such blessings. I'm so grateful for my
family and for my friends. My heart beats for missionary work but keeps it's
rhythm from the support and love I feel from all y’all back at home. Please
know that I feel the power of your prayers. Some days I feel an extra
bounce in my step and I know it’s because I’m being prayed for back at home so
thank you from the bottom of ,my ever so growing, heart.
Have
a fantastic day! Cast out darkness, push away doubt, build up faith and
trust the Lord.
Peace
and blessings!

Don’t
be gloomy. Do not dwell on unkind things. Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy
more fully the sunlight. Even if you are not happy, put a smile on your face.
‘Accentuate the positive.’ Look a little deeper for the good. Go forward in
life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, with great and strong
purpose in your heart. Love life.”
