Monday’s [very brief] email

FRIENDS & FAMILY!

i look so forward to mondays, to emailing home and letting you all know how much i love you. we had stake conference this week and it was AMAZING. i have been struggling a lot (i'm on the world's biggest roller coaster right now, so many ups and soooo many downs - one extreme after another). stake conference was everything i needed. we had an area authority visiting - j. christopher lancing. there was a  youth choir that sang the EFY medley song. i love that song so much, even more so now that i am a missionary and i am truly "as the army of helaman... taught in [my] youth, and i AM the lord's missionary, bringing the world his truth." i need to start carrying tissues around with me. pour elder squires (it's fine, he was front row - i was second) had to grab the tissues for me TWICE. you know how it goes, the rowley cry that never stops. the best part of stake conf. was when elder lancing talked about sections 121-123 of D&C. section 122 was what really spoke to my soul. i should have brought my scriptures so i could tell you exactly what i learned, but he talked about how this section ought to be personalized. that section says "if" so many times and if we go through and change those "if" trials of joseph smith's to our own personal trials we can then really personalize that promise "fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever."
