Wharfe Valley
Mummy and Daddy! Spring is in the air! HALLE-FREAKIN-LUJAH! It's all fun and games here when the sun's out! It's still blooming cold, but at least I only have to wear one coat, one set of thermals and one jumper OH AND it's warm enough to handle a delectable ice cream cone! Blossoms are out! Daffodils are in full bloom...they are EVERYWHERE. Think of the craziest spot to have a flower and you'll still find them!! Heaven forbid you pick one! Apparently it's illegal here. It's illegal to pick any sort of wild greenery...note to self...This lady spat all sorts at me from across the car park when I knelt down to pick a teeeeeeny bloom for my button hole. "Sorry" (said like Gilly on SNL) What can I do? It's not like I can glue it back to the stem. :D Sister Taylor and I are seeing AMAZING things happen! We've spent a lot of our time this week focusing on finding newbies. We stop in the street all the time if we don't feel the spirit pushing us towards people and we plead with it to show us those prepared people. Then we trip, tumble, and step on those prepared people! It's amazing! I love when people say to us, "I've had this question my whole life, and no one has ever been able to answer it for me!" BAM! MIRACLE! I love when we explain the Book of Mormon and people ask, "Oh wow...how much is it?" "For you....it's our gift!" "For me!??!!??!" I am flabbergasted time after time how we just need to plead to find people and the Lord sends them to us! BAM! MIRACLE! I can't remember if I told you about Rose, but one particular night we were looking over the map and I felt soooo impressed to go to Oxford Road. We knocked it and Rose was the only one who answered. During one of the lessons, I felt impressed to tell her about how we picked her street to knock and that Heavenly Father was THAT aware of her and loves her so acutely that he sent us to that street just for her. She started bawling and she latched onto me, showering me with thanks. She came to church yesterday and loved it! She made so many friends in the branch, participated in the lessons, she's excited to come to branch activities this week and she's coming to General Conference! BAM! MIRACLE! Just give us time! Jonny came to church on his own! BAM! MIRACLE!!!! He's getting there....he's just really stuck on the drink. I hate alcohol so much I cannot even tell you. When we walk down the aisles in Morrisons and we pass by the wine aisles (yes aisleS plural), I just shake my wrists at the sky and "You infernal liquid! You plague! Get out of here!" anyways.....that's a whole other basket of unpleasantness that we won't go into. I just am so full of gratitude! I feel in my heart that this gospel is true!!!!! There are prepared people out there who are thirsty for this stuff! My only wish is that more people would open their hearts to this message! I wish they could understand the importance that this truly is the gospel of Jesus Christ.....that "this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God." 2 Nephi 31:21 It's true!!!! It is!!! I feel it so intensely I can't even handle myself! I see it work its magic every blasted day! AHHHHH don't you love the spirit...it's so good! mmmm! Anyways! I'm off to make more miracles happen, and do something about my b'thigh while I'm still 21! Sick! I'm almost old! No Bueno!!! :D I can't handle being and even age...where's the spice? Where's the flavor :D Anyways, thank you so much for keeping me updated with home! I love you so much! Love Always and Forever, Your Sister White
