 This is what Madison put on MOM's Facebook Page for Mother's Day!
"I am grateful for my beautiful, selfless, caring, devoted Mother that gave up 20 years of her life to give me mine 💗.  I love you Mom!  Happy Mother's Day!"

She Included this LINK:
I hope you had thee BEST Mothers Day ever! You SO deserve it!! I was so happy to see everyone! I feel like so much has happened and its only been a month hahh I miss you all so much<3

I was hoping that scripture would maybe bring some comfort. Change is hard and not always fun. I've found through faith that if we give everything we have to God he'll do the rest. It reminds me of the Scripture Alma 26:12 "Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things." All he asks is that we put God first, its that simple. He works through us and knows what we do, why we do it and how. We're on this earth to enjoy it, but also to remember the calling we had in the life before and we are here now to find it and fulfill it before we return. 

As God has said multiple times this life isn't easy but its a test. How we react to the things he places before us determines our destiny. Keep that mind set as you go through life. That this is all a test. All we have to do is Be Humble and know God does all for us, Hes the one that makes all of our Joys come to Life, Be Diligent He's not asking us to kill ourselves and fly through life. He wants consistency, to not run faster then we have strength. My teacher at the MTC shared something with me that I thought was kinda cool he said "God doesn't expect us to be Perfect, He expects us to be Perfect at trying." Enjoy everyday, and make the best out of life! Everyday think of the Miracles and he Love God has given us. HES AMAZING<3 

In my life I've seen many miracles of from the Savior and His Grace. He has been able to literally take the pain away from guilt of sin, and deep sorrow. Through Him he helped me Forgive when I didn't think it was possible. But the weight, hardship, and sadness that comes with it is gone. The Savior forgives us EVERYDAY for EVERYTHING we do, why would someone so loving forgive someone that hurts him over and over. That has humbled me so much to know that the Savior does that every single day for me, so I can do it for Him. I can Forgive and Love everyday. John 13:35 "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." The Savior tells us straight. That we are His Disciples if we Love one to Another. That is the most Powerful thing I have come to know that God will testify that we are His Disciples if we Love one to Another. 

That hurts so much to hear about Stacie. I will pray for Her<3 I remember when we first moved into the ward She was the very first person to talk to me she was so Soft and Sweet but filled with such a powerful sense of Love and Joy. I look up to her so much and Believe that the Love she has is as Powerful as the Saviors Love. Strong, Unconditional, Endless and Sincere.

I love you all<3

Week #77 - Red Doors and Pink Flowers

A little more about Efe's baptism 2 weeks ago - Efe Omamohwo was Baptized and Confirmed September 28th and 29th. Owen gave a talk on Baptism and Claire gave one on the Holy Ghost and then Claire and Serena sang 'I'm trying to be like Jesus' together. The last sang that we all sang was families can be together forever.  Efe bore his testimony the Sunday he was confirmed about how he received a blessing to quit drinking coffee and he said after the blessing he had no desire to drink coffee.  Something that was amazing to see was that Efe and Juliet put their wedding rings back on.  They both are working together better than they ever have and look so much happier than they did when I first met them.  Efe will be receiving the Priesthood soon. They are working toward getting sealed in the TEMPLE!! We were walking down the road reactivating and contacting and we saw this women and her husband walking their dog. We asked them if they knew anyon...

Week #25 - Christ's Atonement is the Reason to be Happy!

Yesterday was actually Thanksgiving in Canada!! (another Monday holiday!) I had 3 Thanksgiving dinners.. hahah.   One on Sunday and two on Monday.   I felt like I looked pregnant, but it was so good:)  I feel like I don't know anything:) It’s a good thing that God does. I feel like a child relearning everything.   Obedience brings Faith, Faith is the only way to understand the Atonement.   I am trying to understand it better.   I’ve been talking with my mission President to better understand the Atonement.   He gave me scriptures and talked about it at zone conference.   Sister Nicole Lowder - Love..Love..Love! He shared with the missionaries the following:   "It is difficult to add anything to conference, but I remembered a quote from Pres. Nelson's October 2000 (before some of you were born) conference talk entitled "The Creation." While visiting a British Museum in London, Pres. Nelson read an English translation ...

October 27th - Serena did her very last primary program and will be going to Young Women's this January! We knocked on a door and Kirna a mother visiting from India answered the door. We said we were sharing a message about Jesus Christ. She said "Jesus Christ?" "Come in" as we talked to her she said that she was praying for her husband in India that he would have water and she said God blessed him with it. She was so grateful we came and fed us food she was making for her family. October 30th - Tonight we went late night tracting and had many pass along cards and were going to hand them all out before 9pm. We handed every single one out but still had 5 min. I reached into my bag not looking and pulled put a card! We went to the closest home with lights on. We knocked and then a man in the basement opened the door and jumped back he didn't realize we were there. We shared the Book of Mormon and testified of Hope. He said he...
