"Life is meant to be enjoyed!"
So I hope things are going well with Grandpa. I want to come home and share mission stories with him. I am sad and excited to come home. I feel like I can and need to learn so much more. I am not perfect that is for sure. We had Christmas training. I am happy I will get to experience it for 3 weeks! :-)
Words cannot express how much I love this gospel. ALL he asks of us is to give our will. It is like picking up a bucket and pouring the blessings over yourself. All he asks us, is to pick it up...
One thing I have learned but imperfect at, is serving others - forgetting myself. What are you doing to make it to the highest kingdom?? "The things you take for granted, someone else is praying for." Share and live the gospel. We made that promise at baptism. How do you show appreciation for the Lord's Atonement? "LIVE YOUR LIFE SO THAT THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW HIM, BUT KNOW YOU, WILL WANT TO KNOW HIM, BECAUSE THEY KNOW YOU." WHAT will you give CHRIST this Christmas?!? I will give my life in his service, for that is what I promised at baptism. I know God has a plan for you, for me. I NEEDED this mission. It has forever changed my future! "God is good ALL the time. All the time God is good."
I love you so very much!
Love Baby Bear!!
From email today::::
I asked her what she did for Thanksgiving:
"We went to this older couples house and we set up all their christmas decor. it was fun and we had a yummy thanksgiving meal. :) I am excited about the lights."
I was up at the hospital rehab with her Grandpa Ker and couldn't email very well again. Last week was pretty much no emails because I was in and out talking with nurses and Drs. (That is why there was no blog last week.)
Her mission president let her call Grandpa Ker this week. They talked for about 20 minutes.
"President gave me a blessing after I called gpa and in it it said... that part of Gpa's mission was to get me on a mission. and he did. I cried."
