Hello Family!
Life is amazing! Little miracles happen everyday we just have to look for them.
Mom, this is a scriptures that has brought me a lot of peace. 2 Corinthians 4: 17-18
" For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
I like how this scriptures tells us to "look" and "see"
President Eyring gave a talk about faith and authority: how we know that the men who lead us hold the authority of God. He said (paraphrasing) we must train our eyes to look for the authority in these humble men.
When temporal things are without stability, it helps to look and see those things that are not "seen" but that are eternal.
Erick will be recieving the Aaronic priesthood next week! His wife just arrived from Nicaragua a week ago and will be here for 6 months. They have left their two boys in Nicargua with her mother so that they can come and work to provide a living for them....it is hard to imagine that kind of life. Erick is still looking for another job but his faith is strong. I'm still sending pictures I promise!
We met an amazing family from Mexico this last week. Four children and their mother live humble and united and are very excited about the Gospel. We asked one day, at the beginning of one of our lessons, What are you grateful for? The oldest 11 year old Girl said "I have never had to starve, I'm really grateful I have always had food...."
I know that gratitude is how we become "whole" as the 1 leper who returned to thank Jesus.
Christ is my Savior, my dearest friend, thank you Mom for all you have taught me.
Love you all so much!!
