Good Morning Family!
So we will have
another missionary going down to the southern Spanish countries, huh :) that
is super cool! I bet you are super stoked about that, right Mom! That is
where the Lord wants him to be, and the things he will go through in
that place of the world is exactly what he needs to prepare him for
the rest of his life as a faithful member of the church and more
importantly, a righteous father in this dwindling world in regard to
family values. That is one thing I have learned about my Mission, yes I
have been the Lords hands at many times in blessing the lives of others,
but in the harder times, and in the things I have experienced, the Lord
has used that time to shape and prepare me for the times to come. Like
the conference talk, I don't remember who's exactly, the one that talked
about the young tree in the open field having to grow strong in the
winds, and because of that, it was more prepared for the whirl
winds to come. Life is never going to get easier, for we can not grow
when we are in our comfort zone, so we've just got to go out and do our
best and the Lord will use us to accomplish what we agreed to do before
we came here. Anyways, it is good to hear that good old Blanding is
still shipping out the missionaries. I know it's not the easiest place to
live, but thank you for keeping us there, because man, seeing the world, it would have been a lot harder to be strong in the gospel. Yes, I
did get the package, as well as Candice's. And thank you for the
surprises in the eggs, no better gift can be given than one's testimony,
and all of yours have deeply impacted my live! God lives and loves us,
for if not he would not have suffered His perfect son to suffer and die
for us! Love you Much, Love you Mom! stay close to the Lord!
Love, Elder Jade Merlin Grover
