I just laughed and laughed at the story of The Charles getting away from Brad, she is getting very clever! Can't wait to see pictures of her face covered in cake soon! Happy Birthday to that Ryker kiddo!! And Brayd has a loose tooth?? AHH!!! Someone just pause them all for me!!! Mandie said she thinks she is having a girl so woohoo!! Emery is excited and Dallin isn't ready to believe it yet, typical! I may have teared up a bit when Mandie told me Emmy was ready for me to come home, I just want to squeeze them all!
It's been a week and a half since my last P-Day, no I'm not being a baby, it really did stink. Scott would say "sucks to suck" - true story bro. Since my last letter it has been really crazy! I have been on lots of field trips outside of the MTC for the pharmacy and doctors appointments, mostly for the companion. Poor Hermana. But she is getting answers and doing much better! We had our first (almost) full day in class in a week yesterday and it was the BEST!! I finally felt like a missionary again and I totally crushed it in my leccion, Spanish-wise. I found courage, not sure where it came from, to just let go of my fear of the language and follow the Spirit to talk about a subject that I have ZERO vocabulary for. I somehow was able to explain everything I needed to in order to help my investigator become more converted in the Gospel. It was amazing! I have such a testimony of the gift of tongues, I know that if I will but open my mouth when prompted, I will have Heavenly help. It's an incredible feeling.
I really don't have much to report on because I was only in class so much and I wrote quite a bit home in letters.
I just want you all to know that I have a testimony of Jesus Christ and The Atonement. Since I have been here I have used the Atonement countless times, it truly is an enabling power. I know that our Savior lives and loves each and every one of us and knows us individually along with our Heavenly Father. They both desire us all to be happy in this life and for eternity. The way we can achieve this happiness es por media Jesus Christ's example and following his example of baptism by the proper authority, receiving the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands, continuing in repentance, and enduring to the end. As a missionary, I have been charged to help others find and REMEMBER the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel is familiar, it's simple, and it is for ALL of God's children.
I love you ALL!! I am grateful to be a missionary and to have such wonderful love and support back home. Sometimes it's hard, but over all it's the best! I cannot imagine living a life without the knowledge that I have that Heavenly Father has a plan for me, especially beyond this life! Family can be together FOREVER! I am SO grateful for every member of my family! I send my love to Canada as well, you know who you are. :) And Happy Wedding day to my beautiful Courtney(a couple days late)!!! I thought of her the entire day!! Again, love you all! Be safe and kiss the babes for me!!
Siempre Con Amor,
Your Hermana Florence
