Hi Mom,
I got a call from President Deere
this morning about Grandpa. I´m so sorry. He gave me a few options and I
decided to take this one and write you a little note. I´ve been thinking about
you today and I am so grateful for the daughter your dad has raised. I know how
strong you are, and I´m so glad you have been at peace with the whole thing. I
was thinking about him a lot today during my personal study, and I was reading
about the spirit world. It´s so amazing - that place. I am so happy to have the
knowledge that he is with Grandma. I bet they are just rejoicing and loving
being together again. Mom we are so so SO lucky to know about the Plan of
Salvation, the plan Heavenly Father has for each one of his children. I can´t
imagine having something like this happen without having the blessing of
knowing about this plan. It would be really hard don´t you think? To wonder if
you´ll ever see him again? But Heavenly Father loves us so much that he has
given us the opportunity to know about this plan He has for us. I read today in
Alma 40.. and right now I only have my spanish scriptures so I´ll have to
translate, so it won´t be exact words. But I love in verses 12 and 13 where it
is talking about the Spirit World. My favorite part of this whole chapter is
the line where it says - all the spirits will be brought to return to the
God who gave them life. I love it. I´m so happy to know that Grandpa is happy
and is with his loving wife who he has just been waiting for him to return to
her. I don´t even know Grandma King, but I can just imagine her face when he
was brought back to her.
Mom, I love you so much! I already
miss Grandpa and I know you do too, but the thing we can do now is depend on
Heavenly Father. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, suffered for every pain we have
felt. He made it possible for us to die and be resurrected and because of his
sacrifice for us, we can return to live with Him and our Father again. This
plan is perfect, and I have a testimony that it is true. I know that we will
live with our family again, and more than that - we will ALL return to the God
who gave us life.
Mom - I want you to know that I am
praying for you and thinking about you, but also I want you to know that I am
trying to focus myself in the work of the Lord. I know that this is a sad
thing, especially when I can´t be there with you and Dad, but I´m ready to work
and help people to understand that they can see their loved ones after they
pass away. This is the wonderful thing about being a missionary. I get to teach
people things like this, things that have blessed my life, and things that make
it easier to cope. I hope you are feeling the comfort of Heavenly Father - He
loves you so much and He has His arms open and willing to comfort you. I love
you so much Mom. I know with all my heart that this church is the Church of
Jesus Christ and that the Plan of Salvation is perfect and it is a plan of
happiness.
I love you and I´m excited to hear from you next Monday!
To Da,
Sara
