I
must say, spring time in Georgia is quite a glorious slight to see but
NOT to smell. HELLO allergy mania! The air is literally a thick yellow
of pure POLLEN. The sidewalks, cars, everything is yellow. The ground
looks as though we had a yellow chalk war. One night after a lot of
walking, I jumped into the shower and the water off of me/my hair
actually ran yellow!! Claritin aint got any hold on these allergies!
Wow, this was a long rant but when the pollen count is five hundred
thousand gazillion, it’s worth a rant!
I <3 GA
Emi and Kellen are married! Yay!! I’m so thankful and proud to be a Miyahara. I was thinking about you all Saturday!
Happiest of wishes to my newly hitched cousins! Family trumps all. I am
ever grateful for the strength and support I feel from my
family-immediate and extended! Y’all are the best.
This
past week was wonderful…for both the people we are working with as well
as for me. I finished the New Testament and the Book of Mormon again
and WOW! I want to share with you not only my belief but my absolute
knowledge that the word of God (ancient scripture + modern day
revelation) is the greatest tangible evidence that God, our Heavenly
Father loves us. 1 John 4 and Moroni 7 prove that. GOD IS LOVE.
I know that these two witnesses of the divinity of our Savior changes
lives. Together it allows the doctrine to be unmistaken. Don’t be
intimidated to read the scriptures, read and let that spirit they bring
shape you to desire to become better, more like our Savior. It’s so
happy!
Doctrine
and Covenant 90: 24 outlines the equation perfectly…if we search
diligently the scriptures and truth, praying always and believing that
goodness will come through the mercy and merits of the Savior, then are
we promised that everything will work out for our good! As we walk
uprightly with faith and make/ keep covenants or promises with God the
outcome is guaranteed joy + direction + peace. My desires to follow
God’s will has allowed for some pretty significant soul-stretching
opportunities.
Keep lovin like you’ve never loved before!
Three cheers for life and the Gospel!
XOXOXO,
Sister Avery Miyahara
