I Love the Temple

JANUARY 22 2017

Hey Buddy!!!

How are you doing??? I am praying for you all the time. I was in the Celestial room on Saturday just talking to Heavenly Father about you and praying for you. I also put your name on the temple prayer roll every week. Hope you are feeling strength from Heavenly Father. 

I Can't even believe it's been 6 months!!! Holy Cow. I'm so grateful for you. You are such an inspiration.

So, this last week was one I am grateful that I made it through. I already told you about my Monday Morning and my crazy car experience. I haven't picked up my car yet but I will go get it sometime tomorrow I hope. 

Lexie went to her Ortho apt this last week expecting to be done with the invisiline and only have to wear them at night but they told her she needed to keep wearing them until her retainer comes in 2 weeks. She was soooo disappointed but she decided it would be ok cuz they weren't telling her that she needed to wear them for another year. So she will get the retainer in about a week. She is excited that she will only have to wear it for 3 monhts.  btw, you are wearing yours all day everyday? Only for another 6 months right??? then you only have to wear it at night? How are your teeth doing by the way? 

On Wednesday and Thursday I attended the western States Conference. That's our sister company. I really loved the conference. we had a great Key Note Speaker at the end that really talked about really caring about people and going above and beyond for them, basically Serving others. My coworker sitting next me said I was an Ambassador of Love. that was an amazing compliment. I pray that I can Love everyone and make them feel wanted. You are really good at that. 

We had a Trek Meeting today. I'm so grateful for our committees. We are all still waiting for the rest of them to be called but hopefully we are making some progress. The trek fireside is next Sunday. I'm feeling stressed to get it all put together. there is just so much that needs to come together. But I know it is all in the Lords hands but he needs our hands to move it forward. I'm praying for strength. I just hope we are not missing stuff. I guess if we are, hopefully we will listen to the Holy Ghost to prompt us to do something.

I can't wait until you get to go to the temple. Truly, that is my sanctuary. I'm so grateful to get to go every week and I try not to take that for granted. I know so many people would love to do that too. It really is the only way i have been able to keep going with so many things. things are going good at work. We really can see that things are improving and we are trying to just do what Heavenly Father directs. I love running a business through the Lord. 

OK, so I just probably rambled on, so sorry. It was a great day today. Dad made me German french Toast, just like Granny Annies. and then he made ribs for my Birthday dinner. He's amazing. I'm so grateful for him. Lexie gave me a bath bomb. Zac and Megan put together a picture album from their wedding for me.I felt bad that we were gone to our Trek meeting for 2 1'2 hours before we could do cake. By the time we were coming home Zac and Megan were leaving. I asked them if they could stay just a few minutes to do cake and they said no. But then somehow they got talked into staying for a few more minutes. 

  I can't wait to hear from you. Hope you had a good week. I love you and am praying for you non-stop. 

Love Always,

Mommy

ELDER SNELL: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!!!!!!

I hope you had a wonderful birthday yesterday! I was sitting in my
Ward Missionary Coordination meeting yesterday morning and remembered
it was your birthday! So, I told everyone there that it was your
birthday. They all say hi :) I love you so much and really appreciate
everything you have done for me and our family. You are the best!
Thanks for being one of my best friends :)

Holy GOODNESS time flies by! I feel like I have been gone for so long,
yet I feel like I just got here last week. So weird!

Yes, I am always wearing my retainer :) I only take it out to eat,
brush my teeth, and for pictures. My teeth are doing very nicely
hahaha! I think I am going to buy more whitening strips, though.

I CANNOT WAIT TO GO TO THE TEMPLE!!!!!!!! I miss it so much! The
Manhattan temple is closed until February 8, so I won't get to go
until after then.

I hope you had the most amazing of birthdays! You definitely deserve the best :)

I love you so much! Thanks again for all your love and support :) I
love having a Mom I can also call my best friend.

Love ya!
Elder Snell

MOM: Love you Buddy!!! Thank you!

I love that I can call you BESTEST friend too!!!! Love you. Sorry, my quick response earlier I was in a financial review. Whew. 

Guess what....ugh. I just found out the Joint Commission can come again anytime after June for our regular 18month interval. Ugh. That made my stomach squeeze. We are definitely doing a whole lot better though. Things have been running smoother. I am so grateful for the lessons I've learned and the knowledge that Heavenly Father will continue to help us. 

That is so amazing about your investigators!!!!! I will pray for them. 

And, you can tell all of your missionary coordination peeps I said Hello back 😘

Love you my Friend!!! You truly are amazing.
