Glad Tidings

MOM!!! + anyone who reads this!  Well, i got both your packages! The big one today. I was already pretty emotional because me and sister a&b are ALL being split and im getting a struggling sister who also has medical problems who will most likely go home, and we aren't in a trio because there is not enough sisters. So im learning really to trust in the lord and know HE ALWAYS has a plan, even if it logically doesn't make sense. Because think about it, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. So when i opened it the first thing i did was grab your letter and the first line i read was about Dallan. I just sobbed. I was at the office with my sisters, and sister stoker and sister p sister skidmore and pres and the assistants. I just sobbed. No, i weeped. President came out of his office and hugged me  and asked what the matter was. He pulled me in and we just talked about dallan. I had actually just born my testimony on him the other day, how i am grateful he was placed in my life so that i could gain a greater testimony on the atonement, and immortality and resurrected bodies. He gave me an incredible blessing.  He said that Dallan came here only because he had to have a part of mortality, and that he will be there in the morning of the first resurrection, and i will be there too, and that i will recognize him by his spirit and that it will be a glorious reunion. How incredible is that. He also said that i can pray for angels to buoy up my family, and that God will honor that prayer, i just need to ask. So family, if you have any neat experiences with feeling angels attending you, write them down and send them my way. So, as i mention Sisters AB&C are being SPLIT. We knew sister a prob would go, but we did not see sister b leaving esp since im mostly an office worker. President had me go aside to inform me of the situation, and asked if i would accept this calling. As much as I didn't want to, how could i not? How could i tell the Lord no? How could i ever limit my potential and limit my growth, even if there is so much uncertainty? I just cant. And so i accepted. I'm receiving a struggling sister again who also may go home for medical soon, and we are together going to hold down the Bedford 2 area while working in the office. Ill still be mostly in the office, and her... she'll probably do a lot of splits except at night we'll go to work. This area has so much potential! The assistants have Bedford one, and don't have much time either. But again, there is no room to doubt or fear. His will HAS to be done. It just has to. I know the Lord trusts me with this! So, one cool miracle. We have 2 investigators getting baptized soon! One was a self referral we contacted LAST MONDAY, and committed her right there to be baptized. She is so excited. Her name is Sherri. The other is Nancy, who NEEDS to quite coffee, so pray for her! and while im at it, if you could pray for all my investigators thatd be lovely. There names are 1. Mama Jean 2. Sherri 3. Purni and Amity 4. Nancy 5. Carolina 6. Lisa 7. Kris 8. Oscany 9. Paul 10. There's lots more but my brain is fogged... So a cool story. Yesterday in testimony a woman got up whose a florist and bore her testimony on a sunflower she had gotten. This sunflower was big, bright and beautiful, and was bumped leaving a whole of petals missing. She was so sad and was about to toss it, when she thought of the atonement. We are all people missing pieces. We are. But because of the sacrifice, we may be whole again, but in the meantime we are still beautiful people, even with missing pieces. Well my beloved people. I love this season. I love that the world is forced to think about our Savior at this time. It's sad to see that over here in the East Christ has been taken out of Christmas, but dont worry, i'm doing my part to exclaim glad tidings and help others rejoice in the greatest man who walked this earth. I love Him, I know Him. I am in His care. Merry Christmas to you all, and may we all reflect on the love that is given to us at every moment that we dont deserve. Love Sister Cloward
