Grandma's funeral sounds like it was wonderful. I was at the Horan's all day Monday
after emailing and they gave me lots of hugs and loves which I
definitely needed. Thank you Amanda for the quick response on how the
funeral went. I couldn't wait to hear about it so that was very helpful
to get a run down of it and especially see a few of the pictures. They
made me cry. I LOVED the kisses on the casket. Michelle mentioned
Grandpa was a little hesitiant about that, but I too agree that Grandma
wouldn't want it any other way. It was a great sign and always will be
now of our deep love for sweet Grandma Carter. Thank you for putting a
kiss for me. I can't wait to hear and see more of the services. All in
time though. I'm just getting back to things and getting a hang of
things. Tuesday
the Chowchilla sisters drove up and gave me a hug and we talked for a
bit. The Horan's of coarse have been a huge help this whole time. I
received a blessing from our Stake President Sunday.
Sister Odor has been very loving and helpful to me especially. She
has let me have my moments alone and moments to take a breather and just
cry.
We went to the temple yesterday and I kept thinking
to myself that Grandma too is on the other side of the veil like the
people we are doing these ordinances for. She is a missionary like me
teaching others about the Gospel. This life is nothing. She is where
she spent her whole life working for. She accomplished her test here on
this Earth and is a step ahead of all of us. Sure it's painful being
separated and not having her here physically with us still, but this
time for us will end too and we will see her again and rejoice and give
each other kiss marks on the cheeks!
This week we got a lot of new investigators! Don't
have much time to write about them but hopefully they will progress and
that they will accept the Gospel in their lives. I'll share more about
them next email. PS sorry this letter is late. Since we had the temple
we swapped preparation days and things just went weird and so we are
just emailing now.
I love you all and continue to pray for each and
every one of you that you will be watched over and blessed at this time.
Thank you for everything and know that I am going to do my best to do
what I can here the rest of my mission to make Grandma proud and our
Heavenly Father.
LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!
