Happy January!!!

By
Ranadi is a good friend of mine, serving her mission in Los Angelos, and she gave me permission to blog her letters as Hermana Salas has me blog hers.

Hi Everyone!
How are you all doing?
This week has been great:) I love being a Missionary although I'm tired almost all the time! It's so great!!! Its a good kind of tired:)
We are currently teaching a 77 year old lady from Cuba her name is Luz she has been meeting with the Missionaries for about 5 years now and she can be feisty when she wants to! lol but mostly she's nice. With Luz one thing she has taught me is Patience. Sometimes I feel like she knows most of all the she needs to know about the Gospel her only concern is she doesn't want to be pushed into baptism because she doesn't want to make that decision and not follow through with it. Which we totally understand so her thing is she wants to get a clear definite answer from the Lord that this is what she needs to do then she'll do it. So our goal with her right now is to help her receive and recognize her answer. She's teaching me so much about waiting on the Lord's time. I admire my companion because she's always so patient with Luz. My companion and I are getting better now and this morning I left her a little note:) Last Sunday ( Yesterday ) we had a really great Sacrament Meeting! Luz came!!! :) it was great to see her again:) she's coming on her own now. Last weekend I've been praying that we might be led to those who are ready to receive the Gospel and be a blessing to those we meet. First Miracle that happened was we were able to meet this man named Tom he was a former investigtor and was really good. We're hopefully going to start teaching him again. Then on Saturday we visited with a Less Active named Cheree we knocked on her door and she let us right in and it was so great to share of Heavenly Father's love with her. I know that she felt it. She is now married to a jew and doesn't go to church for now. At the end our conversation she asked if we could help her with something. She then gave us two names of two little girls that have been a big part of her life and that are sick right now. They have a disease that Doctors haven't found a cure for and she wanted us to take it to the Temple. She started to get teary and she said she knew that Heavenly Father sent us to her that night because her heart was heavy and we helped her with that:) That night I pondered on the Great Faith that Cheree had even though she's been less active for years now she still believes. Oh It just makes my heart so happy to know that we were made instruments in the Lord's hands that night. I know that truly when we pray specifically Heavenly Father will answer us specifically according to his will.
 
I love this Gospel! and I love the joy it brings to our lives and our Families! It's so Great:)
 
I Love you Bunches

'Telling the Truth' by Lesego Mholo

By
I'd rather be hurt by you telling me the truth than lies. Keep deceiving people and think they don't know. One day it will catch up with you. The truth hurts when its contrary to what your made to believe.  In one way or another lies always catch up with us, our consciousness doesn't let us lie for too long. Lying affects trust and loyalty in a relationship when your lied to you feel like you no longer belong you feel inadequate, telling the truth solidifies a relationship bond, and it might signify love or care; furthermore, telling the truth to me it tells that your emotionally mature. The truth makes me feel secure. Sometimes we give our hearts to people, and they think we are stupid for that we end up depending on them for loyalty. Truth is the only way two people can survive in a relationship and mutual understanding but reassurance and trust are the only things that might keep the relationship functioning. Dishonesty is the beginning of a fading relationship and...

“Let Go Off That Branch”

By
Once upon a time there was a man sitting on the top of a mountain, enjoying the gentle spring breeze and the beautiful scenery, including the tree and the rock that was behind him. Suddenly a strong gust of wind blew him off the mountain, and while falling he saw a branch sticking out so he grabbed it. Hanging off the side of the mountain like cliff hanger the man naturally began to pray, asking for God’s help and hears a voice that asks “Do you believe that I created that tree on the mountain?”. The man replies “yes I do, but I really need some help”. The voice then asks, “Do you believe that I created that rock on the mountain?” The man replies a little faster “Yes, I do now please! Help me!”. The voice then asks “Do you believe that I created the wind that blew you off the mountain?”. The man replies a little slower this time “……yes I do”, then the voice asks,” Do you believe that I can create another wind that will blow you right back up unto the mountain?”. The man replies, “Y...

Adventures with Eve (March 1, 2015)

By
     Early in a recent week, I was asked if I was going to the company Snow Day Party. I said that I was, but I only wanted to go if Eve and Ezra was coming with me. There was no time designated for dinner on Friday night, which confused and baffled my grandparents, but Eve and Ezra was able to come. We arrived about 6:30, and we had a good amount of time to enjoy the snow. We found a modest hill, and went down it a few times. After the kids got over it, we went to the barn before it got dark to wait for other members of the company to arrive. I found games to play like dominoes and scramble. The lights were dim. People were barely arriving at 8 o' clock.  I have a bunch of adventures with Eve to write about. The following list has most: scrabble on the night of the Snow Day Party, a run with a friend and her, making videos, a belated Valentine, reading a book, Cooking with Eve, a rock collection, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, playing video games, and more. I have som...
