wow I can't even tell you how proud and happy and touched and inspired and I don't even know how to put it into words....my new little sister in law....you really touched my heart today...I just want you to know that. wow. I meet so many people in the military...and I think...if only you had the comfort of the gospel...how much stronger you could be...how much more secure you could feel in our way too unstable world... I would never push the gospel on anyone. To me it is like finding a great deal, or something that feels good, or something that makes you indescribably happy.... you want to share it WITH EVERYONE....that is how I feel about the gospel....it isn't about seeing how many people the missionaries can baptize....it isn't about making everyone I know LDS...it is about sharing something that is special to me...it helps me be a better person, a better friend, a better mom, a better wife, a better daughter....I don't know how I would make it through this military life without the comfort of the gospel. I was so touched by your testimony today. You have no idea. Jake bore his testimony this month too. It was pretty funny because he was being horrible and misbehaving, and then all of the sudden I looked up and there he was up giving his testimony. I just want all my friends and family to know that the gospel is everything to me. I am not perfect and I make mistakes, but I always come back.......do you know why? Because it feels so good.....the spirit I feel when I was chatting with some friends tonight....it feels so good to have friends who have the same values as I do. None of us are perfect, we are here on earth to gradually work toward becoming perfect. I love how in one of the conference talks they talked about some people that don't want to come to church till they are "more perfect".....that doesn't even make sense....church is where I go to become better....to learn .....to get the support of other people who have the same values and goals as me. I have heard the excuses and even used them myself at times....but if you are waiting till you are a better person, or can kick that bad habit....you will be waiting a long long time....believe me I've been there....nothing in this life is more important to me than my family, and I know the only way to be with them forever.....and so do u.........so get where you need to be....we all have times in our lives when we will need a little push.....so here it is....ur little push from me....because I care about u.....and I know that u will be around when I need a push in the right direction too....that is why I want to surround myself with peeps that make me stronger....remind me of what is important to me....have the same goals as I do.
And one more time....wow girly u amaze me.....love u new little opfel sista :) u blew me away today!

Thank you, Katy :o) you guys have made me feel more than at home in this crazy new environment of the church. I am so thankful for the support you guys give me and the patience that you have while I explore this new life. I love you, I really do! Wish we could chit chat more often but thank you so much for this. It really is a nice push and it is EXACTLY what I need!
