Hello one and All....first of all YES! I am alive and survived the
earthquake....So don't worry...you'll still have to suffer through these weekly
emails for now....
QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
Quentin L Cook: "The Prophet Joseph pointed out taht before you baptism,
you could be on neutral ground between good and evil. But "when you joine this
Church you enlisted to serve God. When you did that you left the neutral ground,
and you never can [go] back." His counsel was taht we must never foraske the
Master."
WOW! NEVER NEVER NEVER FORSAKE! Like the last verse of How Firm a
Foundation. Such an amazing thing happens when you get baptised and join this
Church. You truly become part of something bigger than you can even imagine! You
promise to help further the work, and to help your brotehr and sister souls
return to our Father in Heaven.
SCRIPTURE OF THE WEEK:
John 14:18-19 "I will no leave you comforless :i will come to you. Yet a
little while, and the world seeth me no more; bu ye see me: because i live, ye
shall live also." Here Easter is translated to Fu4Huo2Jie2 which actually means
"resurrection festival" so amazing right? We truly are celebrating Christ
resurrection, but also our endless potential that through Him we have. Let us
remember this and try to always consecrate his sacrifice by living in a way that
would be pleasing unto Him :)
Ashton has sent me a few quick, but sweet emails....as well as some funny
poems that he wrote for me. I love it so much! :) It sounds like he's doing well
and still planning on going on his mission :) So lets be happy for him! I did
not know however that he is taking so many asian studies classes! Did he put
that in his mission papers as well as that he took Chinese in High School?! He
really should!!!
what is Nika's cousins name? So I can watch out for him? . It sounds like
he's going to be a great missionary! All the kids who worked hard to get on
missions, seem to value their time as missionaries more, and are more diligent
when it comes to the work. :)We have so many missionaries from Springville here
in this mission
Wow!!! It sounds like you had an exciting day, and an exciting week to
come! Uncle Larry did an amazing job I m sure! I hope a lot of the young men
attended and paid attention!
King James' talk was prbly great as well! He does like to tell random
stories....did he share any?
Sister Mendenhall is also such a spiritual giant, i'm sure she inspired
everyone and really brought the spirit.
That polynesian restaurant sounds really, really good! You'll have to take
me to it when i get home! How are the fish and chips!? and the Poly
Special....YUMMM!
Mama told me possibly three of McKay's friends are coming this weekend for
conference? I'm guessing ashton (and prbly tess) will be as well? Sounds like a
lot of fun!!! I wish i was going to that FHE....that's going to be amazing!!!
Tell everyone hello and that I love and miss them! And tell Coach Colin thank
you for the rugby bag...i did in my email shoutout but you could tell them too,
that would be fantastic! And tell Rachel Hubert HELLOOOOOO! And I'm sooo excited
for her to start her papers....soonish...when she graduates...? hahaha I LOVE
YOU SOOO MUCH DADDY!!!!!!
