Howdy y'all!
First off, I just have to put a warning out there for y'all
for if you're planning on coming to Australia. So, be warned that there is not
a SINGLE Tacoma truck in Australia. Not a single one! What the chunk?
Anyways, I saw my first kangaroo! It was dead on the side of
the road though. Please pray that this isn't another armadillo experience where
the first one I see alive is the one I just hit at 5:30 am. Talk about starting
your morning off with a bang! (or more like a crunch). But yes please pray.
Moving on, I'm still absolutely LOVING it here in Australia.
I've developed a love for knocking on doors and meeting so many different
people. The other day we met a satanist which was a hoot! I'm just so happy to
be here!
Here's the Jesus stuff:
I had the absolute HARDEST time thinking of a spiritual
thought for this email so I just decided to share a quote that one of my favorite people shared with me that has
come to mean so much to me. The quote is from "And There Shall be No
Death" by Elder Paul V Jackson and it says:
"Each of us has physical, mental, and emotional
limitations and weaknesses. These challenges, some of which seem so intractable
now, will eventually be resolved. None of these problems will plague us after
we are resurrected. Alisa researched survival rates for persons with the type
of cancer she had, and the numbers were not encouraging. She wrote: “But there
is a cure, so I’m not scared. Jesus has already cured my cancer, and yours. … I
will be better. I’m glad I know this.” We can replace the word cancer with any
of the other physical, mental, or emotional ailments we may face. Because of
the Resurrection, they have already been cured too. The miracle of
resurrection, the ultimate cure, is beyond the power of modern medicine. But it
is not beyond the power of God. We know it can be done because the Savior is
resurrected and will bring to pass the Resurrection of each of us too."
I LOVE this quote. It speaks to my SOUL and has strengthened
my testimony and understanding of my Savior's Atonement by ten-fold. It gives
me so much peace to know that Christ really has already taken my trials, He has
already redeemed me. He knows the exact things I am going to experience as I
take on life's journey step by step. I just can't wait to take that last step
and fall into the knowing arms of my Savior where He will tell me that He loves
me, that He's proud of me, and that He was helping and holding my hand the
whole time. This is what brings me peace and I hope y'all feel the same.
I love y'all. I LOVE America's strong sauce trucks. I LOVE
LOVE LOVE Jesus.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
