We Remember...

      I hope everyone is having a good September 11th....I can't believe that it has been 11 years since the attacks on America. I know that the Lord has his hands in our lives and that those who died with clean hands and a pure heart were welcomed home with open arms, and that those who misused their agency are being taught about the truths of the Gospel.

       A little bit about this week....we finally had Sisters Training yesterday! It was GREAT!!!!!!! Oh my goodness it was sooooo good! AND I got a wonderful surprise from Mother that everyone was able to enjoy! Thank you SO much Mother for the birthday cake at the training! Even though it wasn't on my birthday after all it was still a celebration! We were taught by President and Sister Greer, by his counselor and his wife, President and Sister Stapleton, by two of our departing sisters, Sister Dilworth (yay) and Sister Hudson, and finally by the Assistants to the President, Elders Fenn and Tuttle. We learned so much that I can't even bring everything up that I want to. The finally thing that President talked about was how a brick wall wouldn't be strong at all if we didn't have the mortar/cement to keep it together. He said that we the sisters/women are the mortar/cement that will keep our families together. He told us that we have to stay strong in order for our families to stay strong. It was so touching to see him talk like that. You can see and sense how much love he has for Sister Greer and how much he loves each and everyone of us, his daughters. It was so much fun to be able to stay in their home Sunday night. The Spirit of the Lord just emits from the walls and the ceiling and the floor and everything in the home. It is so wonderful.

      I am almost out of time because I wrote a giant letter to President, so I am very sorry that I can't tell you more! I will tell you more next week and send pictures too! Just know how much I love you and I pray for you and that I miss you but this is exactly where I am supposed to be at this exact time. I want to THANK EVERYONE that sent me cards and packages and emails for my birthday! I really really appreciate it all! I will try to thank you all individually, but it might take a couple weeks. Transfer calls are coming up on Saturday and I can't believe how fast this transfer has gone by. I am super nervous as to what is going to happen. Big things are going down here in the WKM and it will be interesting to see what the Lord's plans are and how they are brought to pass.

Anyways, I love you again and I would love to get more letters...but if you could throw in an encouraging word for my companions sometimes too, that would be wonderful! Have a great week and look forward to a longer letter next week...hopefully! :)
