Week 72 - Mosiah 18:21 What's your verse?!

Loved ones,

I hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas!! I loved seeing the family and
laughing with them. Y'all are the absolute best! And I didn't cry this
time! Aren't y'all proud?! Coco is so smart and so big and so
beautiful! The rest of y'all are pretty great too 😘.

We sang in the choir on Sunday and I really enjoyed it. I love music.
It brings in the spirit so strongly. We also had this awesome "youth
strings group" that played a killer musical number with some other guy
on the flute. It was probably my favorite part. We had all the wards
come together and I love looking out at all the people I love, making
eye contact and smiling at each other. Their love of our Savior and
how we all come together to rejoice in Him is amazing. I love that we
can come together once a week to do that and then strive our best to
keep Him in our hearts always. I love Him.

How has reading the Book of Mormon been for y'all? I love hearing from
mom about all she is doing with it. I noticed dramatically how much
just a little extra time and effort to read totally brought clarity to
my mind and peace to my heart. I love getting lost in the Book of
Mormon. The next day after I had that experience I went on exchange
with Sister Hosman in Laurel Springs. We went to a lesson with a
sister that was baptized a few years ago and her family has just
stopped going. I was able to relate to her a lot with my experience of
not always going to church. She really opened up to us. She had so
many questions she didn't even know where to begin. And her mind just
felt so confused. We were able to testify of doing the little things
daily... praying and reading and then coming to church on Sunday's. I
was able to testify of my experience the previous day and how much the
Book of Mormon brought clarity to my mind and peace to my heart and
how I knew it could do the same thing for her. She agreed to begin
praying and asking Heavenly Father her questions and then to begin
reading the Book of Mormon every day! She was so thankful we came and
was excited to let us know how it goes. It was so great meeting her
and I had so many other wonderful experiences with Sister Hosman. I'm
so thankful she is out here with me!

I love y'all!
❤️
