Hey Family,
It was soooooooooooo good to
talk to you yesterday! I loved it. Y'all just make me so happy. Y'all are
pretty much caught up on the life here in Tupelo so I'll share my study this
morning.
3 Nephi 22: 8 and 10
"In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with EVERLASTING KINDNESS will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer."
"For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but my KINDNESS shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee."
I prayed to feel of the Savior's true character just before I read those scriptures, and the words that stood out to me were of course, "everlasting kindness." Our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are always so kind. They don't see our faults, but our strengths. They know what we can become. I've noticed that the more I know about the Saviors love for me the more I love other people. I was prompted to be more kind this morning. I also felt prompted that if I was kind that I would have greater happiness in my life. The worries can worry by themselves. Most of the fear and worries aren't even real!

"A noble and Godlike character is not a thing of favor or chance, but is the natural result of continued effort in right thinking, the effect of long-cherished association with God-like thoughts." -K Richard Young-"Kindness: A Celestial Touchstone"

Wow. When I found this talk I was
just astounded at how our Heavenly Father always answers our prayers! I have
been praying a long time for that quote. As the Savior said, "Let virtue
garnish thy thoughts unceasingly." Thoughts lead to action.
I love you! Thank you for
supporting me on this mission. I can't thank y'all enough. I love you!
Steadfast in Christ
