Seventy: September 3, 2014 Bologna
Thank you all so much for your emails and your love. It really helps me push forward, even though right now I'm struggling with exhaustion. We are working so hard, but we just don't have a lot to do here. It's all either finding or member visits. We have no one that can see us, everyone is busy and there is a lot of empty space.
Eva, I love your blue hair! It looks cool! Remember to look at hairstyles for me when I come home. All for long hair, though, because I'm not cutting it again.
Tanney, I'm happy you got back to Utah safely after that huge delay. Sorry you had to sleep in the airport like a hobo. That's not fun- but you're back and safe now! Good!
Mommy, I'm sorry that you haven't heard anything about the job and that your other job has been having some little issues. That stinks. I'm still praying though!
Basically, I'm still in a weird spot. Just really pesante, ''heavy'', as the Italians say. A lot of weight on my shoulders and I've been feeling just that, really weighed down. I'm just spent of all my energy. I'm going to need a lot of sleep when I get home. I really am OK though -- I function just fine, I'm not like going to fall over dead at any point and I still have my sense of humor, but you know what I mean? sometimes I just feel a weight on me. I'm still trying to do my best and I continue to be obedient and diligent. I'm doing all right.
Thank you, Mommy, for your email. It really helped me. I think you must constantly have revelations for me and what you need to say. You have to because you always say the right thing. You're my mom, so you just get it. Thank you! I cried a little when I read the email and it felt kind of nice. You understood me and supported me while telling me I need to keep going. Thank you :) I'm happy...
I want you all to know that regardless of how I am feeling or what trials He gives us that I know that God's love is real. It is the power that moves everything, the power that created the earth and the heavens. It was the reason The Plan of Salvation was brought forth and it's the means for fulfilling its purpose. Through that love, we exist and we are known. I know Heavenly Father knows me personally and I know Him, too, through prayer. He is our Father in a very literal sense and He wants us to know Him. He loves us so much that He sent His Son to atone, to erase, to eliminate all pain and sorrow and suffering. He has made me clean and I am alive in Him. I love my Saviour for His merciful sacrifice and I praise my Father for His merciful plan. I've learned to "consider the lillies" and that our Heavenly Father is merciful towards us, His children. He made a plan in which He asked us to have faith in Him and that then, if we believe and follow Him, He will extend many blessings and we will feel His love more fully.
I feel His love. I follow Him and I love Him with my whole heart. I know He loves me because He shows me His love each day in all of the various things we do and see and feel. I try to live each day to feel that love and to earn my place in Heaven with Him. I know this is possible and that the promise is real. I feel it with my whole soul and I know, that even when the days seem too hard to overcome, He is helping me make steps forward toward Him. I want you to know that I know these things. I know you to know them, too. Remember who you are! Remember God's love. Search to feel it everyday. I know He waits for each of us, with arms wide open, to greet us: ''welcome home." I long for that day and for the peace that I will feel then. That gives me hope to overcome anything!
I hope you feel of my love for you, because I love you with everything that I am. I pray for you and have hope in the answers to those prayers. Please don't ever give up. Ever. There is always hope. I love you. I love you. I love you.
