So Vikki is doing soooooo much better. I don't remember what I said last week about her but we gave her the talk "Come what may and love it" and its like it changed her world! Great right! She is way more positive then I have ever seen her before and there is a new found light about her! She reads everything that we give her and they are finally getting through to her!!! So happy! We are like her kids now. She has nicknames for us or she will just call us the girls. She tries to give us money and anything else we might want or not want. We have already made plans to come and visit her when we are done with our mish. this over joyed her and she told us that we cant say anywhere but her house when we are down there! Haha I love her and call her mama Vixsta!
Things with Sis X are getting better. Yes I still miss my Snow like I cant believe but I am able to help Sis X with the things that Sis snow taught me. I LOVE HER!! She is not much of a talker so I talk with sis snow... like 7 page letters.... Oh that is also why no one has been getting letters :) Blame her! No but I am going to try to do better. There is just never enough time to write all the people that I want to. But just remember all who read this that I love you and think that you are amazing and if you write me I WILL write you back.... But I only get letters from sis snow therefore that is who I write first! SNAIL MAIL makes me a happy missionary! And I will love anyone who will give me more!!!
So on one of the days that Sis X was sick I finished the talk "Come what may and love it" Seriously if you havent read it please do it is amazing! In it is says, "THE LORD COMPENSATES THE FAITHFUL FOR EVERY LOSS. THAT WHICH IS TAKEN AWAY FROM THOSE WHO LOVE THE LORD WILL BE ADDED UNTO THEM IN HIS OWN WAY." it later says "THE FAITHFUL KNOW THAT EVERY TEAR TODAY WILL EVENTUALLY BE RETURNED A HUNDRED FOLD WITH TEARS OF REJOICING AND GRATITUDE." I love this because it makes hard times a little easier knowing that as we keep the faith and move one foot in front of the other that our sorrows and tears will be returned to us 100 fold in joy!
Other awesome quotes from it:
"THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS OUR PARTNER, HEALER, AND ADVOCATE. HE WANTS US TO BE HAPPY. HE WANTS US TO BE SUCCESSFUL. IF WE DO OUR PART, HE WILL STEP IN."
"THE SIMPLE SECRET IS THIS: PUT YOUR TRUST IN THE LORD, DO YOUR BEST, THEN LEAVE THE REST TO HIM."
Great talk right?
Aww okay I am out of time. I had so much more that I wanted to share but there is always next week!
I love you all. The church is true.
Sister Draney!
