5.20.12

We had a great visit with Tyler on Mother's Day.  The whole family was here and we got to Skype with him.  It felt like he got to drop by for a visit!  We sure do miss him, but we are so proud of him and all that he is doing and so glad that he loves it so much!  Below is his latest email.  -Tammie

Hello everyone !!!! It is a beautiful sabbath morning here in Colorado Springs. The sun is shining and the birds are chirping !!! HAHA ! It has been very busy this week, and every week. Monday we packed up and headed to Kansas for our last zone conference and for a leadership training meeting. It was a nice drive and was fun going back to Kansas again. I wish we could have gone to Colby but there was no time to. It was pretty warm compared to Colorado Springs but the sun set was glorious !! We got back to Colorado Wednesday night and were exhausted !


The rest of the week was busy with meetings with President and when we had time to we proselyted. We have had trouble getting in contact with our investigators. It is very difficult as an assistant to manage time effectively to be able to help our investigators. It is a hard adjustment.


 I can't believe that this is already the sixth week of the transfer!!! This has probably been the fastest transfer of my mission thus far. It is a reality check of how fast the mission goes by and I don't want to waste a minute of it. I love my mission and am so blessed to be apart this great work, I can't say that enough !!! I am forever in debt ed to my Savior Jesus Christ, and am so grateful for my loving Heavenly Father.


 Something that has been impressed upon my mind lately, has really helped me gain a greater appreciation for the Book of Mormon. It is this: Thinking simply about those who bled, who sacrificed, who DIED, to make sure that we had this holy record in these last days. DO NOT TAKE IT FOR GRANTED ! DO NOT PUT THIS GREAT BLESSING TO WASTE !!! READ IT OFTEN, SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. THERE IS SO MUCH STRENGTH AND DIRECTION THAT COMES FROM READING THESE WORDS FROM GOD. I TESTIFY THAT THE BOOK OF MORMON IS THE WORD OF GOD, THAT IT IS ANOTHER TESTAMENT THAT JESUS CHRIST IS OUR SAVIOR AND THE BOOK WAS TRANSLATED BY A LIVING PROPHET. IT IS EVIDENCE THAT JESUS CHRIST CHURCH HAS BEEN RESTORED TO THE EARTH AND THAT THE AUTHORITY TO ACT IN GOD'S NAME IS HERE ON EARTH !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I TESTIFY OF THESE THINGS IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN.
I LOVE YOU ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
