Well mom, This week i prayed for lots of help as to know what i should talk about. I had a dream during the week that helped me a lot. I decided to talk about harmony. I had a dream about pops. He and i were sitting at the piano and he was teaching me how to play a beautiful song. He said a family must have harmony. But, as you notice, if one finger is out of its place, the chord suffers. Just like our families. If one person is out of place, a little or a lot, the family suffers. Not just the person, but the whole family feels the pain, the sadness, the worry.   Christ also knows our pain, our sadness's and our worries. I know everything is going to be wonderful. Tyler coming home will be such a blessing to each one of you. Ask him to teach you guys...the lessons, portuguese, everything!!! You wont regret it!

I wont get to see Ty boy before he comes home, but i know the wait will be worth it.

 

So Sunday came. I had much inspiration and felt very prepared. I spoke and it went really well. I know The spirit was with me, I felt it, and it was very special for me. I don't know if the ward was really listening to me or not, but I know heavenly father was proud of me. I felt his love. I know you guys are proud of me, and i am so proud of you all!

 

Heavenly Father is so marvelous. He trusts us with working out our own salvation, he trusts us with our own lives.  And he loves us enough to trust us with the lives of others. It is such a neat experience to help 'save the life' of a friend, or member of the family in need.  I am so grateful for this blessing. I know that it is a sacred calling to be a mother or father. A missionary, a friend, a sister, a daughter.  It all means divine responsibility to bless the lives of those around you.  I am so thankful for who i am. I am doing the very best I can. I know Heavenly Father is proud of me.

 

I love you all so much! Have a great week. Saudades (I miss) the Hot air balloons and the leaves changing. Are you guys going to cut some wood??

have a great week and know that i love each one of you so much
