Mommy!!!
I actually did know about Hermana Heyman (her illness in the
mission field). In the Caballito ward I met one of their (the Heyman’s)
missionaries and a fellow mission president of theirs, and they told me about
it. The mission field is a place of incredible opposition so that there may be
incredible miracles!
A few months ago we had a similar stake conference broadcast
with a few stakes in Uruguay and Paraguay too. Elder Bednar spoke about
repentance! How strong!
So, this week we had all the seasons in one week!!! It was
incredibly hot and then really cold and then we had about three or four consecutive
days of rain. All day! Even right now as I write. This morning it was so cold
that you could see a little bit of snow in the rain (we are on the 11th floor)!
It melted almost instantaneously, but it was a cool experience!
This weekend I had a wonderful experience with fasting! It
quite literally brings us closer to Heavenly Father! It’s a little personal so
I won’t share it, but know that my testimony has grown this week about the
power of fasting and prayer. The two of them have to go together to get a solid
result (Hel. 3:35) That’s why in Doctrine and Covenants it says that we need to
establish a house of fasting and a house of prayer! That is how our homes can
become more like the temple! I felt a piece of the Savior’s presence so subtlety
powerful accompanying me yesterday that I almost felt I had a little part of
the temple with me! I know that renewing our covenants every Sunday is an
essential part of our purification as children of God, and that the simple act
of taking the Sacrament brings us closer to Him!
I love you!!!
