(Mom)…President told us this last week that all the pain, inconvenience, suffering...will be counted for your joy when you walk under the DEPARTURE sign, so it will be good for me to suffer a bit. I know Heavenly Father is taking care of my family. I feel like I know Him better than ever and know that He loves me.. It is really fun to say that, because I really do feel it.
…Because it has been hard to find a scheduled time to study this last week and my prayers have been less frequent than I should, I felt a bit more distanced from Him and much much much more susceptible to temptation. I remember thinking about the missionaries that get home say they can feel something leave when they get released. I know that especially without the help and power that prayer and scripture study bring, that empty feeling will be much worse. The Gospel is my favorite thing. I love to think about potential, agency and desires. I feel good. I hope all is well at home. I just read through the letter Mom. I loved it. I’m so thankful that Jayce is doing well. I love him so much. He is such a champ. It’s been rough to write in my journal, but I’m going to get a plan and do it. After reading your quote, I think I’m going to start writing (journal) entries entitled, “HIS HAND” ... the last week Elder Ostergar and I were together, we focused on an attribute for the week and wrote about it every day. Each day, we were able to write something down. It was one of my favorite weeks in my mission. He was actually really sick this last week. It is a blessing to have this assignment because we were able to drive to his sector and see him and drop him off some gifts. I love that guy so much. He was such a blessing to me. I was so thankful that you got to meet him and he you on Skype. I sure hope I can keep in close contact with him.
