Sister Meservy’s Letter from February 10, 2014
Subject: “Those times when you can’t keep the boys away from you in sacrament meeting. . . .”
WELL HELLO. Happy Valentines Week. This is a good holiday. One of my FAVORITES. 🙂 Because I just love lots of things.
Here are some of my favorite things…. some of the things this girl loves the most. Not in order of importance. . . .
#1. SISTER HOPE ELIZABETH BUSATH.
I have this companion that’s amazing. She is just sunshine in a human being. She is just a magnet of happiness and everyone that meets her wants to be happy. 🙂 I love her a lot. So…. Happy Valentines day.
#2. MUSIC IS JOY.
We’ve used my guitar a TON this week. In lessons, in contacting, and even for a primary activity. 🙂 I think 4 people asked me why I haven’t tried out for American Idol. haha. Jokesters.
Sometimes I am hesitant to use my guitar because I don’t want to have the attention, I wan’t people to feel the spirit and get closer to God, but I got a blessing this week and was advised to share my music with everyone. SO THAT’S WHAT WE ARE DOING. Look out. 🙂
After I sang at the “I’ts Great to be Eight” fireside a member of the bishopric came up to me and said the kindest things. He said, “There are some people that have good mormon voices. You are more like a recording artist. You are more like Alex Boye.”
Folks. I am so grateful to be blessed with gifts and talents from my Heavenly Father, and I want to share them with EVERYBODY. I have been amazed at how the Lord has added to my talents on my mission when I am willing to share them. I don’t ever have time to practice singing or playing guitar- but the more I share the more I am blessed. I am grateful that I have even been able to give my music to the Lord. He can do with me what he wants. I love music. I love singing. I love feeling the spirit as I testify through the words in hymns and primary songs. I love Heavenly Father. Happy Valentines Day, Folks. 🙂
#3. “SMILE” PRAIRIE
This ward is amazing. I want to finish my mission here. 🙂 I am happy. I am growing and stretching. The people are amazing. I love it here. So we’ve decided we literally live in Vampire Land. If Sister Meyers (aka: Stephanie) knew what she was talking about when she wrote twilight, and vampires are truly perfect and beautiful, then I live in Vampire Land. (it just so happens that many roads are named as follows: twilight, dusk, dawn, moonlight, etc)
Next week I’ll give you the details on all the perfect people, alright? Cool. 🙂 I am just grateful. I love them all. Happy Valentines Day, Kids.
#4. ATONEMENT.
Wow. I am just grateful to be able to use the Atonement. I love repenting. I love changing. I also love TEACHING THE ATONEMENT. Our investigator, Gemma, is really starting to understand the atonement and the nature of God and it is changing her. 🙂 I love her so much.
We had so many amazing lessons this week, that we left full of SO much joy because we knew we had served our purpose and were able to see people come closer to Christ and understand his role in their lives more fully. It’s amazing. Wow. I just love being a missionary. I love my Savior Jesus Christ and his Atonement. Happy Valentines Day. I love you all.
I know that this is the church of Jesus Christ.
Moroni 7:47. “But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.”
Love,
Sister Meservy
PS: Gemma’s kids were sitting next to us in sacrament meeting, and Brandon Jr (4 years old) kept trying to cuddle with me. So hard to turn the little guy away, but no worries my friends, I have become skilled in the art of keeping the manfolk away. Just had to hold out my planner and give him a pen to draw all over in it. 🙂 That kept him distracted enough. Think that’ll work after the mission?
Sure love ya’ll . Happy Valentines Week.
