To Becca-Basketball season is finally here!


Becs,
¿Como esta? That sounds great that basketball season is finally here huh? How exciting!!! Any scriptures or anything huh? Well, what helps me is to try to remember how blessed I am and I am so glad with what and who Heavenly Father has blessed me with, people like you and Pres, mom, dad, Jayce, Rach, Joe, Josh, Jay and Jay. We are so blessed. Sometimes it is hard to love others that are different from us. Thankfully I have had two companions that are both super easy to love. In Moroni 7:45-48 it talks about charity, the pure love of Christ. In verse 48 it talks about how we get that charity. What do you think it says? I hope this helps. I know that I have done what it says to love the people here in Chile and I do love them. One more thing that comes to mind. Elder Bednar gave a talk yesterday in stake conference that was broadcast. He talked about a bunch of examples about stories that the people prayed for strength to overcome their trials not for an angel to come to deliver them from their trials. The point was that Heavenly Father will give us the strength to overcome our trials. Some examples are Nephi breaking the bands when he was tied up and also Alma and Amulek when they were tied up. Also there was a group of people in Mosiah 24 I believe that Heavenly Father gave them strength to bare the burdens easily. All were given strength to overcome. This is good because it helps us build our faith too. I hope all is going well. Thank you for thinking and praying for me. I am praying for you too and Heavenly Father is helping you become the best Rebecca Tilley ever. Love you BECS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chow, Your favorite oldest brother (not including Josh). Elder Tilley
