There is a lot in my Heart at this time that I want to
express. First off let me say I am
sorry for the Many Times I got angry it made the spirit leave. There was so much I needed to learn that I
am surprised that the Lord sent such special spirits to me. Your Father has taught me a lot and I know
that there is still a lot for me to learn.
I have learned not to demand respect but to respect myself is more
important and to respect others is just as important. Even with their different
views and ideas. Christ did not demand
respect he did not lash out at those who spit at him. Am I greater than him? No!
As we
have read the scriptures especially the Book of Mormon, I see our day and what
is to come. It is sad to see the Loss of
Freedom. We must not let anger fill our Hearts or let
fear enter in. For they are the tools
of Satan and will drive the Holy Ghost away.
We are here at this time for a purpose.
We are the generation that all the prophets have seen. We have the gospel and the Knowledge and the
Scriptures with a Living Prophet to guide.
But most important we are a covenant People and have the Gift of the
Holy Ghost. We have the Protection of the
Lord. We know the outcome of the
future. The Future is as bright as our
Faith. So cast out doubt and fear and
anger. We may not see our next step but
if we study and pray and read and listen to the prophet. We will
be guided by the Holy Ghost. I have
found that my Faith grows as I study the Scriptures and my Family History. Another way for Faith to grow is to take
time and see all the things and in all the ways God has blessed us. It is also vital that we forgive for it is a
main factor of repentance which we all need. We must follow the promptings of the Holy
Ghost. So we must stay close to the
Spirit. There are hard times ahead. But these are tests that we need to go
through. Let us do our Studying so that
we may pass these tests with Flying Colors and grow stronger with each
test. They are our lessons and our test
that is for us personally. So let’s hit
the books and our knees in diligence that we are ready. That the Lord may use us to build his Kingdom
and be his valiant Soldiers of the Last Days.
I love you all and could not ask for better Children.

Mom, you have been a good example for me. I hope I can continue to learn more about you as I go through life, it becomes easier to have respect as I go through the phases of life. It helps to see how you must have felt when you came across similar situations when we were children. I am so greatful that you and Dad taught us the importance of the Holy Ghost. Thanks
