A Land So Far Away Still Owns My Heart

Hello family!

I cannot believe this is the final letter that I will be sending home. After all the many weeks of letters it is almost coming to an end. I wanted to make this one more special, so I am going to write as if I were giving advice to myself as a young missionary.

However, first the miracles of the week.

Last Thursday we had about an hour to contact before lunch. We went out and no sooner had we walked out of our apartment then we run into this cute lady, Gu3 XJ. She is one of the happiest people I have EVER meet. We talked with her about our church. She set up to meet with us the next day. We met with her Friday and it was great! She is so golden. She told us, “I have been looking for something that will bring me happiness the past 3 years. This is the first time I have ever contacted a Christian church.” I testified to her that I knew that this was God's planning that she run into us. She has some really interesting views. I can't wait to meet with her again this Thursday!

Saturday we were able to meet a cute girl, Hong JM. It turns out that she is also Christian too. We give her a tract and she asks, “Where is your church located?” We were also able to share with her a little bit about the Bible and BOM.

We were able to meet with our less-active Tang JM and her daughter. She wants her daughter to be baptized, so we are helping teach her daughter. It was a really good lesson. He daughter is so precious.

On our way home we ran into a Li3 XJ. She was so cute! We shared with her a little about the BOM. She told us that she likes to pray because she finds answers when she prays!! I love hearing that!

Saturday night we called a former investigator and invited her to church. She came with her two daughters!! We accompanied them to Primary. The girls participated in the games and it was awesome. We are meeting with them this Wednesday. I am so excited to meet with them.

Now on to reflections about missionary life.

First off, all the clichés about a mission are true. You will feel all the emotions possible on a mission. There is no emotion you will not feel. The highs and the lows will all be there.  The lows will seem to last forever and the highs will seem to be but a small moment. Learn to embrace the highs and push through the lows!

Always remember why you came on a mission! You should have come on a mission because you love Jesus Christ! This work is all about HIM!! He loved us so much that he came here and suffered for us.

I have truly come to know my Savior through my mission. My relationship with Jesus Christ was good before my mission, but it is 200 times better because of my mission. I have felt a little little bit of the pain that he bore while on earth.

Your family really does have you on a pedestal. I realized how much your family looks up to you. They picture you every day working your hardest to do this work. Your job is to fulfill their dream! I love to picture the faces of my family members and imagine them praying for my success. This pushes me to be better.

You feel the Spirit more than you think you do! I think a lot of the time we doubt whether it is the Spirit or us. I believe that if it inspires you to do good, then it is the Spirit. A good idea is a good idea--don't question it! If you are obeying the commandments and doing your best then God will not allow you to go down the wrong road. He wants you to succeed because this is HIS work!

There is nothing better you can be doing right now than this. Nothing at home is better than this. On tough days (there will be many) remember that this is the best thing you could be doing! You will be grateful for the challenges in the end. Just focus on the work, and everything else will take care of itself.

The atonement is real. You need to learn to really apply the Atonement in your life. You will need it for when you make mistakes (which you will). You will have to learn to wrestle with God in mighty pray to receive a remission of your sins. There is also another part of the Atonement that I think a lot of us forget. The Atonement will also comfort us. When you feel no one understands you and you have nowhere/no one to turn to, THAT is when you need to turn to the Lord! The Savior will know EXACTLY how to comfort you!

Obedience brings blessings. If you want to see miracles, you have to pay the price. That price is obedience. I believe more than that you need to have a good attitude about the commandments. It is a lot easier to be obedient when you have a desire to do it. I mean a sincere desire!

Allow the Lord to shape you. I feel like being on a mission is being put it a refiner's fire over, over, and over again! It is hard. There will be many nights of tear-stained pillows. There may be days when you break out into tears on the street or in sacrament meeting. These trials are meant to push you to your limit. They will stretch you in ways that you never imagined possible. As you look back you will be grateful God saw it fit that he put you in the refiner’s fire!

Notice the miracles big and small. We cannot tell God the exact miracle we want. Our job is to be grateful for whatever he allows us to see. At the end of every day I love to have my companion and I say 3 miracles from the day. Some days it is harder than others, but once we get started, miracles just start flowing out of our lips.

I have loved being a representative of Jesus Christ these past 18 months. I have loved sharing the gospel with the people of Taiwan. I am grateful God let me come on a mission. I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God. I know that he did see God and Jesus Christ. I know that because of his vision he restored Christ’s church again on the earth. I know that we have all the truth in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know that we can all return to live in God's presence if we obey the commandments! The scriptures are the word of God. I love the power that comes from reading the scriptures. I know that the power I feel is the spirit of God.

I love Taiwan. I really am torn in two because this land truly does have a piece of my heart! I will always be ever grateful for the people I have meet on my mission. They have touched my heart and changed my life!

I have so much more to say but no time. :( Love you all with ALL my heart!

Love always and forever!

I Love to See the Temple

Hello family!

I can't believe it's that time again to write you all! Time is so weird. I can not keep track of it anymore. I feel as if time is just swirling around me.

I hope I get time to write in all my thoughts.

Last week we were originally going to meet with one of our members but last minute she had to cancel. We had some extra time to contact and that was good. The road that we were on is super busy. People are buying food, going home, or going to work. We had been there for a while and were getting discouraged. Then we start up this conversation with a cute girl in her 20's. We ask her where are you going she tells us I am on my way to work. WE just start sharing with her our purpose and she stops. We end up sharing with her the first lesson. As we shared with her Joseph Smith's first vision I looked at her and could see how she was feeling the spirit. I know that it was the spirit working in her.

Saturday was my favorite day! We were temple tour sisters. I love being able to be so close to the temple. I am grateful for the spirit I feel while I am there. Also miracles abound at the temple.

Our first lesson was with a man at the park. He was super nice. We shared with him about the BOM and the temple. He told us that he has no religion. We were able to get his number and give it to the missionaries in his area.

While we were teaching him we get a call from the temple sisters saying that one of the elders gave them a call telling them that a group of 10 foreigner college students just walked into the chapel wanting a tour.  We booked it there.( usually takes 13 got there in 5) We get there and the elder had already started the tour for us so nice. He told us that they are interested in the temple and that they had already shared with them a little about the restoration. We take them up to the temple window and show them the temple book. They had so many good questions. I wish I could remember them. We asked them what made them come in. They responded. We don't see a lot of temples where we come from and we were interested to see what it's all about. I was really impressed. They came from all around the world America, Thailand, Chile, and Mongolia. We used English to teach them.

Later that day we were contacting and we ran into a man. He told us that he had a class. I asked him what time do you get out of class. He told me 5:30. I told him after class could you come to the chapel. He said maybe. I wrote our number on the back of the card and told him to call us when he is on his way. We went to dinner about 5 pm. We finish eating and still had time. However, I get this feeling that we need to go back to the church. We get back and no sooner had we entered the door an elder runs up to us and says a man is looking for you Lei JM. I was like who. The elder goes on to say that you gave him a temple card. It then hits me it's the man.

We were able to give him a great tour! From the time we first meet him to then he had already read the track we gave him. He was like Joseph Smith prayed to God etc. We ended up just focusing on the Temple. He   liked learning about that. He gave us his information and we were able to give it to the missionaries in his area!

I love you all! I pray for you every day. I love this work. I love being able to be a representative of Jesus Christ. I love that I can share this true message with the people of Taiwan.

I know that this church is true. I know that God knows each and every one of us. I know that God hears and answers every single pray. I know that he is mindful of us.

Love,

Sister Latimer

Hello my dear family!

I love you all SO much! Time is truly flying and emotions are all over the place. This week has been good but has had its challenges too. It really has hit me that I can not see God in my reflection and that is why I am having these challenges.

Next week i will be e mailing on Wednesday!

Last Monday we hit the streets ready to see miracles. WE had been contacting a while and run into a Chen XJ. She asks us how much success do you have from what you do? We ask her what do you mean. She goes how many people actually do join your church and how many people stay. I told her that I don't know the statistics. However, I told her that any success we have is not ours but is God's. We shared with her about the BOM and Joseph Smith. She told us that she went to church with her friend once and she did not understand a lot of the words they used. She asked will it be the same in your church. I told her we have a class called Gospel principles and you can go there and they will teach the basics of our church.

The next person we meet is a Ni2 XJ. She is so cute! We shared with her the BOM and baptism. It was really a great lesson. We asked her if she would want to be forgiven of her sins and she says yes. We testified to her that through baptism she can be forgive of her sins. She set a date to be baptized on May 31! She has test all this week but set up to meet with us next Tuesday night!

Thursday night we were able to go out contacting with Bonnie one of our YSA. She was super nervous. She struck up this conversation with a mom. It turns out the mom is also Christian. We shared with her Joseph Smith's first vision. She says that she is too busy to meet not but we gave her our number. I hope she calls one day.

The next person we meet was also a Christian. She tells us I was baptized 2 months ago. We talked with her about Joseph Smith and the BOM. We were able to give her our number before she left.

Friday was AMAZING!!!!!!! Elder Wilson (he actually replaced Elder Perkins) came and did a mission tour. We were able to receive training about how to better use the BOM in teaching. It was so powerful.

Saturday we meet a Xu XJ. She is so golden but she does not have time to meet because she words every day from 10 am to 10 pm! We shared with her BOM and baptism. We were able to give her a copy of the BOM and she was excited to go home and read it. We were able to give her our number.

Lately the Bishop Li has really been focusing on Less Actives. He has given us list after list. We have been going through them and are excited to work with them.

I love this work. I love being able to share with the people of Taiwan the message of the restoration. I know that this is the true church on the earth. I know that God gives us challenges to help us become like him.

Love

Miracle Finders

April 14, 2014

Hello family!

Well it has been quite a busy week here in Taiwan. Between last Sunday and this Sunday we traveled to Taipei 6 out of 7 days! What a busy busy week full of meetings, meetings, and more meetings. However God was good to us and we saw lots of miracles.

Last Monday night we hit the street to go contacting and meet a nice man who is also Christian. he told us that he admired us because he also use to be a missionary for his church and he knows that it is not easy. We talked with him about the BOM and the Bible and how our church reads them both.

That night we really were focusing on finding families! Through that effort we were able to get 3 numbers of families. They were in too much of a rush to talk then but they said we could call them this week. I can't wait to follow up with them this week.

Tuesday morning we had our zone conference. This month our mission is really focusing on using the BOM in every contact and lesson.  I really enjoyed the training and have seen many miracles from using the BOM in every lesson and contact.

That night we set out to contact and see miracles. We decided that we would go to the exercise park near our house. It is not a place we usually go because it is hard to get people to listen as they are running around the tract or stretching. However, that night I told Sister Beazer we are going to go find a new friend there.

We went there and started walking and meet a nice man named Zhuang DX. He is 24 years old and is a social worker! We walked with him around the track 6 times (a mile and a half) while sharing with him the 1st lesson. It was so much fun! He was really sincere. We shared with him the first lesson as we had been trained that morning. We asked him what you know about baptism. He told us that it is when we promise with God. It is also becoming clean. I almost had a heart attack right there. I told him you are the first person who I have meet that has told me that. We then invited him to be baptized on May 3 and he thought for a minute and told us May 4 is my birthday so that weekend I will not be in town. I was amazed because I could see in his eyes he was really thinking about our invite. We then asked him May 10 he told us YES!!! We will be meeting with him this Thursday and I am so excited!

Wednesday we had Temple Tour Square training!!! It is so nice to have that many sister in one place.

The temple sisters trained us on the refiners fire used lots of quotes from Elder Christofferson's talk "As many as I love I rebuke and Chasten". (https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2011/04/as-many-as-i-love-i-rebuke-and-chasten?lang=eng&query=The+lord+chastens+those+he+love

It was really cool because I read the talk a few days before. They shared with us the story about a women watching a silver smith. I don't know where the story is but it is cool. I will have to tell you more later.

You should try to look it up. So good.

Then Sister Day trained us and it was so powerful. She asks us to think for a minute and write down why we came on a mission. She then asks us to close our eyes and not peak. We then open our eyes a few minutes later and she has this life size poster of the Savior. She told us you should be here because of him. It really touched me and I re dedicated myself to my mission.

President Day is always my favorite from these training because he talks about the temple. He really helps us think deeply about all that goes on in the temple. He can't tell us a lot but he tells us what he can and then says you got to go and search for yourselves!!! I can't wait to go to the temple this transfer!!

Later that day we were able to meet with Peng JM one of our less actives. She has not been to church in 30 years! We decided to use the training from Tuesday and read with her from the BOM as part of the lesson. She gets out her BOM and I realize that she has been inactive a long time. Her BOM was the Momenjing not the new translated Moermenjing. We gave her a new BOM and she is excited to read it.

She really has a long way to go but I am excited to work with her and help her have desire to come back into the fold.

Friday we went to Jin Hua Jie and did Temple Square Tours!! I was so happy miracles abound at the Temple!!! We had nothing scheduled that day and so we set out to contact and see miracles!

We went to Da An Gong yuan a HUGE HUGE park near the temple. We were there for only an hour and a half but saw lots of miracles!

The first lady we met was Li JM. She is also a Christian. She asked us I don't understand the difference between Mormons and our church. That is a question missionaries love to hear because we have an answer for that! We shared with her the first lesson.  She told us that she is not interested in meeting but will go read the pamphlet we gave her. She told us she is scared because all of her family goes to their Christian church and have been going for years. Change is hard.

The next lady we ran into was an a ma (grandma). She was so cute and it turns out that her son in a member of our church in California. She is like I have a BOM and when I was sick once my son called the man here and they came and gave me a blessing. We talked with her about the blessing of eternal families.  She is so cute!!

The next person we meet was a Chen DX he actually lived in Chicago for 20 years. We chinglished (half English half Chinese) it with him. He told us that he likes to study religious history as a hobby. He told us I know Joseph Smith and Brigham Young bringing the people to Utah. We had an interesting talk with him. We shared with him the introduction from the BOM and afterwards he said can I have this book? We told him of course you can. He even gave us his information to give to the missionaries where he lives. He seems really prepared.

That night we had another cool miracle. We both really felt that we really could have one more lesson before we go. We set out and talked to everyone but no one was really interested. We were heading back because it was about time to go home. I see this man sitting outside a family mart. We walk past and then I turn around and introduce myself. He then goes I am Chen DX too. It turns out that he is also a Christian. He asks us are there any activities at your church? I took that opportunity to tell him about Conference the next day. My companion told me later I wasn't going to mention that. It surprised me when you did. We shared with him the first lesson and he gave us his information and gave it to the sisters in his area! I am excited to see how he progresses.

Saturday was wonderful being able to watch Conference and the Women's session. I loved it ALL!! I really loved Elder Holland's talk. What a great way to start conference. He is such a powerful speaker!

I loved how now it is a general women's conference. It really seemed this conference they aimed a lot of the things towards the youth but the adults can still get it. I really love how they are unifying the church by taking away the age barriers in a way.

Saturday night we only had 30 minutes to contact and we set a goal to have one lesson and one new investigator. We started walking and we see this girl at the bus stop. We strike up a conversation with her. We end up sharing with her the 1st lesson. We recite Joseph Smith's first vision and then ask what do you feel/ think when you hear that. She ask God is real? I forgot to mention she is only 15!! I told her I know that God is real! We invited her to be baptized on May 10 and she accepted! We will be meeting with her this week.

Sunday a cool personal miracle. The night before I really prayed that I would see a familiar face at conference. I was just feeling down and needed a friendly face. God answered my prayers in an unusual way. I am waiting in the foyer of Jin Hua Jie waiting to see if LA's come to church. Then I see a white girl on crutches making her way in. The English ward also meet at JIn Hua Jie. Back to story she comes in and asks is English on the first floor. We tell her no 3rd. She goes tanks and starts walking away. I then realize that we should head up. We catch up with the girl and ask what happened to your foot She told us she sprained her ankle in Brazil while on her mission. It turns out that she also waited for bit and served in Colorado for 7 months then finally gets to Brazil and on the first day sprang her ankle.  3 weeks later they ship her to Taiwan because her family moved her during her mission.

I was like that is so sad. She then ask where are you two sisters from. I tell her VA. She asks where in VA? I tell her Fairfax and she goes no way I am from Alexandria. She asks do you know Josh Powers, Roy Copans, Nick Stevens. I tell her yes. She told me I hung out with them sometimes. We hit it off after that and had a nice time talking before conference started. Her name is Tori Hancock. She was in the McClean stake. She also knows Duncan Hartt.

This experience really reminded me that God loves me and knows how to comfort me.

Sunday afternoon we meet with Wang JM our Less active. She is doing ok. Her baby has been in the hospital 3 days but will be leaving today. We are sad because she has been meeting with missionaries from other churches. She told us they tell me that you are not Christian. We told her that the most important thing is her relationship with God. We read with her from the BOM and then invited her to again pray and ask God if this is his church. I know that she will get an answer if she sincerely prays. We will be following up with her tonight.

We decided that the theme for this transfer is Miracle finders because miracles abound when you look for them.

Time is almost up. I wish I could write more. I love you all! I love this church but most importantly I know it is true. I know that God hears and answers our prayers.

Love

Eliza

P.S. The temple sisters also shared with us this video as they talked about the refiners fire. LOVE IT. I feel like that all the time I don't want to be a current bush I want to be an apple tree!

The Currant Bush - April 17, 2013

Faith brings miracles that move mountains

April 7, 2014

Hello family!

I can't believe it has been a week! It has been a week full of miracles! I am so grateful that God keeps showing us miracle after miracle.

Monday night we set out to contact and it was one of the best Monday nights I have had my WHOLE mission! We were able to have 3 lessons. We go to the road and are locking are bikes and this women catches our attention. We start to talk with her and she tells us that she is super busy but we can call her later. We were able to get her number and are hoping to meet with her this week.

Then we run into this Zhu Xian sheng. He had just gotten off of work. He told us that he actually used to go to a Bible study class. We talked with him about the restoration and baptism. We were able to invite him to baptism and he told us if he gets and answer then he will. We also gave him the BOM and before we could introduce it he asks what the difference between this is and the Bible! He actually lives in TaoYuan so we gave those missionaries his information.

The last person we ran into was a XJ who is also Christian. We were able to talk with her about why are Church is different. She is really sweet. She was not interested but we wrote our number on the back of the tract and one day she will call.

Wednesday was English class and it was so much fun! Not only that but I had a really cool miracle. During English class I shared about God being our loving father in Heaven. I told them a story about a time when one of my prayers was answered. After class I start talking to one of the students I notice in the corner of my eye that Tina a new student is standing at the door. One of the other missionaries was asking her something and I hear her respond I want to ask Sister Latimer a question. I finish up talking with the other girl and then walk towards Tina.

I ask her what do you need. She then asks me “When did you start to believe in God?" I forgot to mention she is an atheist. I told her that my parents had always taught me that there is a God. However, I came to know for myself over time through prayer and experiences.

She then asks, “So you feel God?" I told her I feel God through the Holy Ghost. I told her that the Holy Ghost is God's messenger.

She then goes ok. I really was amazed. I turn to my companion and mouth did that just happen. I felt the spirit so strongly when I was talking with her.

Thursday we were able to meet with one of our less actives Tang JM. She is doing good. She is a really great person just feels weighted down by certain things in her life. Last week we shared with her about repentance. We read with her Alma 36 about Alma's repentance/conversion story. It was really good to share that with her. She was able to express how she feels sometimes repentance seems impossible. We were able to bear testimony to her that we know God forgives all who truly repent.

We were also able to meet with Xu JM. She is doing better. We shared a video about being happy. She told us how that sometimes she is not satisfied with her life. We invited her to think of things she likes to do and then every week to find time to do the things that are on her list. She is so busy! She has two kids and a job!

Friday was crazy busy. We were able to meet with our less active Wang Xiao Hui in the morning. She is slowly changing. Her son was home and he even started singing with us. In the beginning he would not really want to talk to us. At the end he wanted to talk to us for a minute. We raced cars with him for a minute. It was really cool to see how the spirit is working in her little boy.

Later in the day we were able to have some contacting time. We ran into an Ying Jm. She was really sweet. We shared with her about the restoration and BOM. She told us to call her this week. We are so excited to see her this week.

We were also able to get one of our YSA Claire to come out contacting with us. It was her first time and she was super nervous. We were able to go to our favorite Miracle exercise park. We went there and found a new friend. Her name is Wang JM. She actually has so religion. She was super sweet and we are really excited to see her this week.

Saturday we were walking out of a store after buying lunch and a man starts talking with us. We were able to share with him about the restoration. Afterwards I told my companion God is just showing us miracle after miracle!! He truly is!!!

That is a wrap for the week. As President Day always tells us the best is yet to come!!! I am excited for what miracles are in store for this week. It just gets better and better!! (That will include after the mission too!)

I love this work there is nothing else I would rather be doing than this work. I know that God loves each and every one of us. I know that he knows us individually. I know that this church is true! I know that through prayer we can know that the BOM is true.

Love

Eliza

The beginning of the end!

March 31, 2014

Hello family and friends!

Transfers have come and gone and nothing changed. Sister Beazer and I are still together here in Xi Zhi. This is where I will finish my mission! I cannot believe this is it. I really do feel that I just came on a mission. Time is so weird on a mission.

A lot of things have happened this week. I hope I can get it all in. :)

Last Monday was miracle night! We started off the night by having dinner with Huang JM( Carole). She is so much fun to be around. Her daughter just got her mission call to Australia. The mom is super excited.

After having dinner we set out to contact. We were walking to the road we wanted to contact and came across a man who has been to our church before. He asks you are Mormon right. We tell him yes we are. We were able to talk with him a bit and share with him about the restoration.

As we continued walking we ran into a girl on her way to dinner. It turns out that she is also a Christian. We shared with her about the restoration. She did not want to set up but we were able to give her our number.

Tuesday we went contacting in an area that both of us have never been to. We were walking around and ran into a Chen DX who was really nice. We shared with him the restoration and how the priesthood is the power of God. We told him that through this power we can be baptized and have more strength in our life. He told us I need God's power in my life. He is really great and I cannot wait to meet him again this week.

Wednesday was crazy! We were constantly running around.

In the morning we were on our way to go visit our less active Wang Xiao Hui. We decided to walk to her house. As we were walking we see a lady in a wheelchair on the road. I ask her do you need help she goes yes. We ended up walking her to her house! She even gave us her name number and address. We are planning to visit her this week.

We then meet with Wang JM! She has changed so much since I have been here. You can see that the spirit is really working on her! She even came to church this week. Not only that but she came early and stayed after to talk with people. I love seeing the spirit change her life!

After that we went to Aya's house to grab food for our English party! She is from Japan but married a Taiwanese boy. She went to BYU Hawaii too! It was fun to talk and get to know her. It is really hard for her here because she does not speak the language. She stays inside most of the time. :(

The English party was great! It was a little crazy but that is the way it goes! Then move calls came. I was surprised that neither of us moved but am so grateful God allowed us both to stay here because we got such a stride going!

Thursday we were able to visit with Tang JM. Man does she love love to talk. We were able to read with her out of Alma 56. We read with her about how the stripling warriors loved their mothers. She talked about how she does not feel like a good mom. We encouraged her and will keep working with her!

Thursday night we meet with Aya and her whole family. It is weird because the parents speak English the kids speak Chinese and Japanese. We teach in English for Aya to understand and the parents translate into Chinese and Japanese for both kids. We shared with them the video about talents. It was really good for them. We then invited them to think about how they can develop one of their talents!

Funny story! Sister Beazer and I did not go to transfer meeting and had no idea what happened. Our DL area got white washed and I had no idea who was there. I asked the Xi Zhi elder and they were like I only remember that they are in a trio. I was like hmm weird.

I call in that night to tell our DL we are home safe and sound.

He picks up and it is a familiar voice. The elder goes Sister Latimer. It then hit me and I was like Elder Farrell. He was like hao jiu bu jian. I was like yep. (We were together in Shuang He for 3 transfers)

It was really weird to report because I felt like I was back in Shuang he with Sister Koch!

Saturday was a AMAZING DAY!!  The weather was beautiful!!!! We were able to good in some good contacting time. We meet some really cool people. We walked everywhere to get in more contacting.

As we were walking near our house we pass by this cute girl. I turn around and ask her can I give you a tract. She goes yes. We talked with her a little about our church. She is a senior in HS and super busy. We exchanged number and she told us to call her in June to meet again.

Saturday night we were able to meet with Zhou JM! Sadly the husband told us he is not interested. We were able to teach her the restoration. Our member was so adorable. She sat right next to her and helped her find the scriptures and other stuff. At the end we asked her do you have any questions. She says no. She told us I am very interested in what you have shared with me!!

Sunday we had a great night of contacting. We were walking and ran into this man who is a Christian. He told us how he believes that after Christ died there were no more prophets called. I told him well you are right to a point. He told us that the Bible is enough. I was like NO! It was crazy to see how he has bits of the truth but not the whole truth. I was able to give him the pamphlet about the plan of salvation. He promised me he would read it!

Sunday was fun during lunch and dinner I read through one of my journals. It was crazy to remember all the good and bad times. I love though how it might be bad one day but one or two pages down it gets way better!

WOW I got it all in!

I love you my dear family! You mean the world to me! I know this church is true. I know that God loves all his children.

Love

Sister Latimer
