Where to begin....well, let's just say
that there have been far better weeks of my mission than this last.
Since I have somehow become the grandma in the mission (how did that
happen, I am still green!) I have noticed that just in the year of time I
have been here, the work has gotten harder. Perhaps it is this area of
Italy but it seems that as the Lord hastens His work, poopface satan
hastens his dirty hands. But, nothing stops the Army of Israel so slap
that sunscreen on satan cause you are gonna be feeling the heat!
I was very inspired after reading my counterpart, my
partner in crime, my fellow soldier in the faith, and the cabuss of the
family's letter last week about faith. So in honor of Hermana Becca
Boo
1) because of my faith, I have seen mafiosi,
forgotten old women, bitter divorcees, and rebellious youth changed by
accepting the light.
2) because of my faith, I have done things that at the moment I thought, "this is going to kill me!"
3) because of my faith, I have accepted every call to serve in whatever way the Lord asks
4) because of my faith, I open my mouth and speak knowing the Creator of the World will not let me fail
5) because of my faith, I have learned, lived and loved the Atonement.
6) because of my faith, I can still smile an be happy even when people spit at my face and beer is thrown at me.
7)
because of my faith, I have ridden my bike in torrents of rain, hike
hills in blistering heat, and fallen on slippery ice but weather doesn't
stop a worthy servant with the good word on her lips!
8) because of my faith, I have learned that life is better when I willingly yield to the will of my God.
9)
because of my faith, I have learned to follow the subtle promptings of
the spirit, counsel of priesthood blessings, and the words of both
ancient and modern prophets.
10) because of my faith, I know death will never separate my family.
11)
because of my faith, I have learned to kneel in humble supplication
even when I feel forgotten, angry, pushed aside, or lazy.
12) because of my faith, though I am no where near His perfection, I improve every day and my life is in His hands.
That was all the wisdom of the past 15 months. I am tired. Working hard to the end!
Vi amo tutti quanti!
