Welp it finally happened. I now have an iPad. The
world can end now. Haha... But seriously, you'll see at the bottom of
this email, sent from my iPad, and no--I didn't type it. So your probably
asking, so if you have an iPad, why did it take me so long to email?
Reason: I have an iPad, but no internet. It's quite obnoxious. Also
my companion and I have been sick this week and haven't been able to get to the church in
order to use the wifi there. But I made it! And yeah, don't be
surprised that I'm sick again. I had an adverse reaction to an
antibiotic, so now I can't move with out feeling like I'm going to tear
something. It's quite awful... But The Lord in His tender mercy has
provided miracles and He's also helping me not be crazy about being stuck in the apartment again. The English Sisters were super
kind and drove us to our appointments in Manhattan Brooklyn
Bridge
By the way the Siri app is really cool and saving my fingers a lot of pain... Just forgive the lack of punctuation.
Funny story we were in the target line and as I approach the check out, I cheerfully looked at the attendant and called her by her name and asked how she was doing. The look on her face is priceless. I laughed and asked, "how often are you asked how you are doing?" She laughed and said "never". We talked about how she must get tired of asking how everybody else is doing when no one asks her the same thing. After that I just said, "don't worry I'm not from here". To it she laughed and said, "I could tell! Are you visiting?" I went on to say, "not quite I've been here for over A year." She joked, "oh I see.” “You just haven't assimilated with us yet." I laughed and said, "I may smile like a west coaster, but I now drive like a New Yorker." She very much enjoyed that answer and so did the lady behind us in line. Haha. I really am going to miss this place. It will be weird to not be the smiley alien anymore :-).
Today I have been thinking a lot about the power of belief. It's really interesting how you can be forced to know something, but you have to choose to believe in something. Knowing comes through experience. Belief is a choice. It is so funny how our world today almost disvalues the credibility of belief when really it's one of the most
powerful functions of the human heart. Belief brings miracles, belief creates faith, and belief brings reason to hope, and strength to persevere. Belief opens the windows of heaven to us, and allows us the opportunity to let God into our life, no matter how small it may be.
I think sometimes I over think what it is to know that God lives. There are times that I over think about the future and whether things will get better. But I am beginning to realize, that it really doesn't matter if I absolutely know what's going to happen, or if I have all the proof in the world that God is real, loves me and answers my prayers. No, there is something much more powerful than that. It's my choice to believe in him, it's my choice to believe that things will get better. And no one and nothing can take that away from me, including my recent struggle with depression, and a sick and tired body.
I believe in miracles. I believe in healing. I believe in Jesus Christ, and I know he is my savior redeemer and healer. I believe this church is true, and through my personal experience I've come to know it is well. As a missionary my invitation is simple and the same as
that of the Savior. Come and see, and choose to believe, and be baptized in his name. And as you choose so, you will choose the greatest joys this life can offer.
I love you all!!!!
