{ as Jesus loves you }

So.
The work is a thing here in Mishawaka.
We're working with several different families and there has been sooooo many miracles witnessed in just these short couple of weeks. 
All I gotta say is the field is w h i t e in Mishawaka.
Soooo yes, people are prepared.
Yes, people are growing closer to Christ.
Yes, people are accepting baptism.
Yes, we're really excited.
But let me tell you about the greatest miracle of all that happened this week for me:
Do you ever feel like life is going supaaa well and your environment is a good one, and you recognize the blessings coming your way, aaaand you're happy
but
for whatever reason, in the twisted thing that is life, you still feel a little sad?
I do.
For some reason, I've been in this weird funk lately.
It's annoying.
The adversary is a thing.
So there I was, at church, chillin in Relief Society and thinking about my woes. 
Feeling pretty blue.
You know, sob sob and all that jazz.
When slowly I hear through the open door of the Relief Society room the sweet sound of the Primary children down the hall singing...

  1. I’m trying to be like Jesus;
    I’m following in his ways.
    I’m trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say.
    At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
    But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,
  2. “Love one another as Jesus loves you.
    Try to show kindness in all that you do.
    Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
    For these are the things Jesus taught.”

And because I'm literally the poster-child for emotion these days,
yeah.
I cried.

How grateful I am for the knowledge of a Heavenly Father.
Not only a Heavenly Father, but a loving and attentive Father and Brother who know me so well.
"Love one another as Jesus loves you."


Sincerely, Sister Soloa'i
