Hope

Howdy!

Just a reminder that if you are feeling down on yourself, you're amazing. I´ve learned that the part of this message that I most love giving is the part about how important we are to our Father, and for that same reason we should have hope. Hope, I tell people, please have hope, you are more than this. We are more than today's mistakes. Please remember, please take a moment today and remember why you in particular have hope, we all have it, we've just got to find it. Take a deep breath, and keep going.

Love you all!

Continuingly,

I am grateful

Hello Everyone,

I sure do love and appreciate all that you do for me. It really makes me think. You know something that is really cool? Over time, all of the small and great kindnesses that have been shown or done to me have been changing my heart little by little. I am downright stubborn, but even I realize when I´ve got it wrong. I have received a lot of help in my life. I am grateful.

Funny story: I said something very dumb. We were with a pair of elders in an area that´s called Zurqui, really beautiful,very nice weather, and we were eating lunch with some members:  a young man, his son, and who I thought was his mother. So we are sitting there eating when this sister tells me about her son who is 21, and I said "Oh, so he (meaning the young man that lived there) is your oldest son?" No. Wrong Toney, so very wrong. The seemingly young man was her husband. Suffice it to say that the comment did not go over very well. I had to call the doctor to get my foot surgically removed from my mouth. Goodness gracious me he looked so young, and she looked, you know, normal... Not good for your digestion.

Quite incorrectly,
