Baptism week for the Sisters in Kempsville, VA!
Sister Thornton tore some ligaments in her ankle!
Thus the brace.
In the baptism they sang the Primary song "When I am Baptized"
about rainbows after rain and they came out to see this beautiful sight!
Life is humid and sweaty...and some more humid. But I am
happier than ever. I love the gospel.
"Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a
smile on your face, but with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life
and look for its opportunities, and forever and always be loyal to the church.Never
forget that you came to earth as a child of the divine Father, with something
of divinity in your very makeup. The Lord did not send you here to fail. He did
not give you life to waste it. He bestowed upon you the gift of mortality that
you might gain experience—positive, wonderful, purposeful experience—that will
lead to life eternal. He has given you this glorious Church, His Church, to
guide you and direct you, to give you opportunity for growth and experience, to
teach you and lead you and encourage you. Of course there will be some
problems along the way. There will be difficulties to overcome. But they will
not last forever. He will not forsake you.
When
upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,
When
you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count
your many blessings; name them one by one,
And
it will surprise you what the Lord has done. …
So
amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do
not be discouraged; God is over all.
Count
your many blessings; angels will attend,
Help
and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
Look to the positive. Know that He is watching over you, that He
hears your prayers and will answer them, that He loves you and will make that
love manifest. Let the Holy Spirit guide you in all that you do as you look to
become the kind of woman of whom you dream. You can do it. You will have
friends and loved ones to help. And God will bless you as you pursue your
course. This, girls, is my humble promise and prayer in your behalf, in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen."
