Let me just start out with telling you how grateful I am for you! Yes,
you! You have played a very specific role in my life and in my
progression in the gospel. Thank you for that. Thank you for being you
and for loving The Lord. And for loving me! I couldn't do any of this
without the love and support of each one of you. Go ahead and give
yourself a hug from me :D
This week, I was pushed to my limits and then some. I have learned
what that phrase really means haha. I learned a very valuable lesson
this week- we can not go through life on our own. Nor were we meant to
do so. I learned that I need help from other people, even if I wish I
was strong enough to do it on my own. This is a lesson that I hope I
can remember forever (mostly so I don't have to learn it painfully
again haha!) Heavenly Father created us with the intention of having
us work together and rely on one another. We were never meant to be
strong enough that we never have to ask for help. Our loving Father in
Heaven wants us to learn to work together as a team with His other
children. You'd think I would have learned this lesson by now!
Weeeeell, my pride sure got in the way and I had this silly idea in my
head that to could handle some huge mission issues on my own. But The
Lord let me know that He wanted me to be willing to ask for help. I
finally did, and she arrived today! I am once again in a trio and I am
am so grateful for it! Sister Chaia White is here to save the day!
Heavenly Father knows you by name. He knows who you were before you
came to this life and He knows who you are capable of becoming. I'm
serious! If you don't know that yet, hit your knees and ask Him to let
you know. It has permanently changed my life as I I have come to know
that for myself. I know it will do the same for you!
I love you!!!
Love your Jersey-girl missionary, Sister Amber Flower Ricks
