a grateful heart

Well this has been the hardest week on the mission by far. It all started when we got a call that one of the sisters had to go home for knee surgery so Sister HAkaraia was going to be moved to missisauga and Sister Rosenlof and I would be staying in Down town toronto. It was so sad to have her go and I just have no idea what i'm doing but we have been managing and having lots of adventures. The addressess here can be pretty messed up. Then Sat morning Sister Eyre called to tell me about mom's accident... holly called shortly after and I got to talk to her as she was going up to the temple. It breaks my heart to think of the road she has a head and that i'm not there but i'm so glad she has a road ahead. all i can say is that i'm so grateful my mom is alive and that I know the gospel is true. I've been so comforted and that is a big testament to me that the Atonement is real and The Holy Ghost is an amazing companion to have in this life. Elder Ballard came and talked to us yesterday and it was amazing. there was such a strong spirit. Two elders played I am a child of God on the piano and violing and it was beautiful. The words went through my head and i cried as i thought of and felt of my father in Heaven's love and of the wonderful earthly home i have and of my parents kind and dear. I am far away. I heard of a quote that says we all have to face adversity but it takes courage to face uncertainty. Don't lose hope. Have courage. Help our sweet mom. I just keep thinking of how bad she is going to feel.. love her extra for me. I'll do all i can here. I love being a missionary. I love all of you.


Love me
