Hi my sweet family!!
I am so happy to hear you are all gathered together to celebrate and remember Grandma’s life! It was such a relief to hear my parents’ voices yesterday after this week. What a joy you are all to me! Seeing pictures today has brought me to tears... mostly excited to be a part of that group again in a short while.
I am grateful for the plan of salvation this week. I am so thankful all of you are together!!! I am thankful that that will never end. Grandma and I share the title of Sister which will always always be special and sacred between us. I am so thankful to have an added helper by my side for my final month as a Sister Missionary.
For those of you who do not know, I was quite sick this week. It will probably go down as the scariest and hardest week of my mission. But we did see miracles. I was able to think a lot about my mission and write a ton in my journal. Those things are golden. I will always love my mission journals. (Yes, I have filled multiple.)
The Lord was very aware of me and sent many people to my aid. I had the most wonderful doctors who took great care of me and were so impressed with my Serbian. I felt very at home in their care. My wonderful Mission President and his wife called me daily and came to see me. Sister Rollins called me nearly every day to check up on me... those calls were the best part of the week. My companion was my hero; the elders were so so great.
Currently, I am emailing from an internet cafe in Sarajevo, Bosnia. I love it here and am excited to spend some time here this week.
This week, there were many mountains I wanted moved and rivers I wanted parted... as we drove down here today, I was listening to one of my favorite songs and it reminded me in whom I have trusted and how thankful I am for that. These are the lyrics.
Letting go of every single dream
I lay each one down at Your feet
Every moment of my wandering
Never changes what You see
I’ve tried to win this war I confess
My hands are weary I need Your rest
Mighty Warrior, King of the fight
No matter what I face, You’re by my side
When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!
Truth is, You know what tomorrow brings
There’s not a day ahead You have not seen
So, in all things be my life and breath
I want what You want Lord and nothing less
When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!
You are my strength and comfort
You are my steady hand
You are my firm foundation; the rock on which I stand
Your ways are always higher
Your plans are always good
There’s not a place where I’ll go, You’ve not already stood
When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!
I will trust in You!
I will trust in You!
I will trust in You!
I love you all! Have a wonderful week!
