POWER OF THE TEMPLE!!

August 13, 2017

I LOVE that you were able to go to the temple!!!! It is where I feel the most POWER in my life!!!! It's been a very stressful week this week to where my blood pressure went the highest it's ever been. The Joint Commission was supposed to come and Linda was gone and the nurses were so behind in their charting I felt so helpless. I kept praying to just have faith and I know I have faith that it will all work out but looks as thought I still needed help with my unbelief. (I Love Elder Hollands talk on that). 

So Linda came back and JC hadn't come so I felt comfort and I actually left work early to go help at band camp. I wasn't even going to go and I just packed up, went to work and then left early to camp. I was so happy. Dad and Lexie were already there so I went to surprise Lexie. 

It was awesome and I loved helping Dad. I slept out in the bed of Dad's truck and it was amazing. The Stars were so clear and we saw so many shooting stars. I loved being able to watch rehearsals as well on the scaffolding. Dad had a band gig at cherry hill and he also was doing the DJ gig at the multi stake dance. So dad left early. I was going to bring Lexie home right when they were done but she had a drama moment and had to ride on the bus. So I was just going to drive home by myself. I then got a text that Linda's step son had just been killed on a motorcycle. My world then crashed down again. My heart is hurting so bad for her and her family. It brought back so many bad memories. But I know this was a terrible thought but now she won't be there when the JC come next week. I had so much anxiety I was overcome. But then I said a prayer and knew that Heavenly Father is just going to have to bless us to do well and the angels will just have to help us with the survey. 

I'm still working on my faith and knowing that all will work out. I know it will I just wish my body wouldn't cause such uncomfortable feelings worrying. 

I am so grateful for all that The Lord has blessed us with. Family is so precious and Family is forever. I love you so much and am so grateful for example in my life. You have so much faith and keep me going. I miss and love you so much. You are a strength that I have to draw on. Thank you for working so hard and keeping the faith and leading your Zone to miracles. 

Have an amazing fantastic week!!!! 

Love your Mommy!

Preparation Day clothes at the church, and my Stake President threw it

Time Flys Fast!

June 25, 2017 Hey buddy!!! How are you? Hows the weather been? Still crazy rainy? It's been way hot here. I loved your video of the rain. That was crazy sauce.  This week has been good. Not too crazy, just working and spending time with Dad as much as I can. Today is our 25th Anniversary, crazy! Life really goes by so fast.  We are watching the drum corps right now. Cool but they will get better with time. It's still really early in the season.  We had a way long trek meeting today but really feel like the Lord is guiding us and we have so many amazing people who are helping to plan it. It was pretty cool last night when I was praying in my closet, I prayed that my ancestors will help plan trek and help make sure that everything goes well. I felt the room grow with people. My closet seemed to no longer have walls and I could feel the expansiveness of all our ancestors pulling for us. There are so many. Not just a few but people beyond count, I felt like ...

YO YO YO ONE YEAR!!!!

July 16 2017 WOWZERS!!!! I can't believe you will have been on a mission for 1 whole year on the 20th........ CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! This world is flying by so fast and I can't even keep up. I can't believe we are already going to be going on trek in 10 days. Any you have been gone almost 365 days.. WHAT... Well, I can't wait to hear all about your new opportunities. I pray you are looking to the Lord to help you do everything. I was thinking about that today and it's something I'm going to share with they youth on Trek. It is easy to get so overwhelmed with everything that is coming at you and all the responsibility that seems to pile up. Sometimes I just want to go in my closet and cry. I think, no way, I can't do one more thing. And then guess what? I pray to My Father in Heaven and somehow he makes things work out. I pray for strength to meet the challenges and I pray for peace to know I can do this. I've imagined this week as being called to...

Testimony of Trek

August 6 2017 Hello Buddy!!! Wow, these weeks are flying by so fast!!! I started writing my Trek book and it's about 6 pages now and I am only on the first trekking day. Ha Ha. Ya, probably too much details that I am putting into it but I will give you a quicker version.  I had already told you how we were setting it all up for gear drop off and how we were getting everyone to the stake center that morning. Well, the night before I heard the rain and thunder...... oh man. I went into my closet to pray that I know Heavenly Father needs us to learn something on trek but I did ask if it be his will would he temper the weather. Ha Ha, here I am asking for the weather not to be too hot and also not to be rainy.  So at drop off we had many youth that didn't show up and ended up not coming and some that said they will show up in the morning. We also had a Ma and Pa decide not to come and didn't tell us. We didn't know until the night before we left. WOW. It's...
