Graduation!

What happened to Christ's admonition " take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself...." Good Luck Brea!!!

Sister Sayling, Our mission president's wife shared an experience that I want to apply for the rest of my life. One of her six children LOVES to tease. She turned to the scriptures specifically for guidance on how she might teach her son how to become more like Christ. Sure enough the next morning the teasing began. She found that because she sought specifically for the guidance she needed and prepared before hand; She was able to say exactly what her son needed. She felt the guidance of the spirit as she spoke calmly and without frustration. She saw her son reflect on his actions and feel his Heavenly Father's reproving love as well.

I know that we can turn to the scriptures for any answer. That a casual desire for answers is not sufficient but by hungering and thirsting for righteousness comes the desired guidance that we want. This desire but then be followed by exact obedience to the truths we have learned and then be willing to "stand as witness" I've learned there are certain "certitudes" that we need to go through our trials with faith: A knowledge that God exists, a knowledge of His nature, attributes, and his plan, and a knowledge that we are doing his will.

Spencer can tell you the story of a man we met this week who did not know the true nature of our Loving Heavenly Father.

The package you sent me was wonderful tell sister Hintze thank you I have felt a difference.

Good luck with graduation!! Give Grandma and Grandpa a big hug for me!! Love you!

Love,

Sister Tuckett
