Today is a Beautiful Day

Hey My fellow readers!
I wanted to say how excited I am for today. its a beautiful day the sun is shining brightly and its not overly cold which is nice. So the sisters are coming for Lunch today I try and have them for some sort of meal once a week. The one sister Sister Kulbeth wanted to have grilled cheese sandwiches, something odd and not something I would expect a missionary to say but I have agreed to make them there grilled cheese sandwiches, and Have even gone out and bought the expensive cheese for sister Moesinger cause she doesn't like the cheese in packages. So if I never get saved for a mission we can blame it on Sister Moesinger and her refusal to eat packaged Cheese LOL.
Last night was an amazing institute class, We learnt from 2 Nephi chapters 1-2 I learnt so much and wrote many different things in my scriptures of what this or that scripture meant to me. So this years challenge from Brother Cole is that we have to Own a scripture Nothing overly hard. So The scripture that I chose was Alma 7:11-13 for those of you who have not read it I suggest you do it talks about the things that Jesus Christ did for us. And How he knows how we feel! Every day he knows how we feel better then our own friends do.
And that is pretty scary when I have alot of close friends. So on monday I did the spiritual thought in FHE I hate public speaking its always been one of my biggest pet peeves. But I did it And I did it on Compassion. Jesus Christ was our greatest example of compassion. And the example that I used in my life is The sister missionary who helped get me back going to church and how she showed great compassion for me. I share that story a lot with people as its really my defining testimony of Missionaries. And how much they really are needed to help those around the world.
I hope all of you are having a great day remember I love you all you bring an example to my life an example of what I need to strive to do better, You are the amazing listeners when I just need you to listen to a complaint and an even better advice giver when I need the advice. No matter where my life takes me what road I go down. I know that you will always be there for me. I am grateful for the Missionaries in my life Past and Present. You all kept me strong when times got tough and even when I struggled you never let me fall off that path I jumped back on in October 2003. its been 5 years since I have been back at church and these past 5 years have brought me the greatest Joy and happiness I have ever had.
Continue to be strong and hold to the rod.
love you all
