Dear Everyone,
I love mail. Not only am I
sharing that fact to encourage you to write me but I am also sharing it
because it has been a tender mercy in my life. On more than one occasion
I have received a piece of mail that has been an answer to a prayer, or
desire or a concern. There is a woman that we have been meeting with
and she has been having a lot of hesitation lately. I got a letter from a
friend and I felt very strongly to share it with her. I had no idea
why. None of the contents of the letter even applied to this woman. As
we were talking with her I realized that this letter really did
correlate with how she felt. I pulled it out for her to read and half
way through she looked up and said 'Are you sure I didn't write this?" I
know that
Gods timing is perfect. I know that as we learn that and continue to
develop trust in him and his will we will be blessed. Things will work
out in the end and if they are not worked out yet, it is not the end.
In church a talk was given about grace. I enjoyed
the talk so much because the woman who gave it taught the plan of
salvation with such simplicity and passion that it was hard not to pay
attention. She testified of the love that they savior has for us and of
what he has done for us. Christ has already over come our problems. He
has already overcome my weakness in teaching. I know that as I trust in
him and rely on his strength and love I have do as he wants me to. The
Spirit truly is key in missionary work. As missionaries we a glass. We
are not the water in the glass or the hand lifting and pouring the water
out but only the glass. When we live our lives and do our best to have
the spirit in us we can bring it to those who need to feel of
the Saviors love.
We got to do splits this week. Since we are the only
sisters south of Eugene we had the Eugene YSA sisters come down since
Finals are going on and no one wants to meet with them. So they came
down with us for Wednesday and Thursday.
It is hard planning for four sisters in one area. It was a lot of fun
though. Sis. Washburn (in the MTC with her) and Sis. Hollingshead came
down. We were able to learn a lot from them. I love them so much and I
love the opportunity to work with such amazing missionaries who truly
have been prepared for this time. I love this area and I love the
people!!!
Oh and we volunteered at a foster adult care home
again and I asked one of the ladies how she was today and she said
"Trying not to commit suicide." and I said "Oh that would be a bad
choice." and she said "Yep. That's why I'm not doing it." and I decided
that I love that old woman. She is so much fun to talk with because she
is sassy. She is the one who told me I had rude behavior because I made
the Alpaca's run away. Love her.
I love you all. Have an amazing week!!!!!
Sis. Adair who loves letters!!!
