Today was an awesome day and busy and hard day. As missionaries you see everything. Well my day started off great. We contacted a referral from a member. They are so golden and made an appointment with them so now we just got 3 new investigators. A wonderfu way to start the Wednesday morning. Then went to Distric meeting... amazing as always. After we had some time before our dinner with the Barneys.... So we went to see Jennifer. She is the daughter of the man, the very anti man who made the “God Makers”. Well I want to start off saying I’m so happy to have a family who will aways love me. Thank you (heart) so this is my 3rd time meeting with her. She is going through a very hard time and had a hard life. She said everytime we show up she is at a hard time. She just went through a divorce with her husband who cheated on her. All her family hates her. And just yesterday she went to court with her x-husband to finalize it....and now her daughter hates her and told her she cannot see her grand daughter ever. She is only 3 and she loves her grandma Jenn. Jenn’s grand daughter was the only thing that kept her going in life...to see her grow-up. Can you think of like Micah or Seth them saying you can never see the kids? That’s hard.... none of her family is answering her phone or text. They just cut her off. All in one day. So we seen her today and she was so off after knowing she cannot see her grand daughter. She’s saying she has no reason to live. She just need to feel loved. From the first time I seen her or met her I’ve been always thinking of her. So I gave her the poem “footprints prayer / sand” She loved it. More things went on with her talking to us. We showed our love to her. The spirit was so there helping us talk to her. No one should go through that no matter what things happened. She is so suicidal right now. She does not even love herself. I feel like I’m here in Silverdale for her to help her feel like she is a daughter of God. Well yeah I wish I did not know of some of the things she is going through at this time. But I know she needs me and that’s why I found her..... to tell her I love her and she is loved and we are here for her. I offered her to have a blessing. She said she is not even worth praying for... I said that is not true. So I’m going to be stopping there a lot to check on her. I just don’t know what kind of family can do that. At our Stake Conference, Robert D. Hales said, “Never shut the door on your children. Heavenly Father loves everyone... so you should always love your child.” That kept on coming to my mind. How could they shut the door on her? She said she has know one. I told her she has us. So it’s hard to know what to say to her. So I’m so going all by the spirit....cause I do not want her to take her life away. Some times as a missionary I don’t know what to do?????? She is a daughter of God. I’m just going to pray about it. We did talk to our ward mission leader and he said it’s hard for you missionaries to ever handle some thing like this. But she wants to feed us 4 missionaries cause she feels good after we visit with her. Can you just pray for her cause she is worth praying for....Thank you.
your missionary
It looked like you had a lot of fun at the PCC 50th anniversary. I completely forgot I was going to miss it. I love the pictures so much. So how’s the planning for the Taputapua tea festival? I’m hoping I’ll be back in time for it. Are they still coming? I talk about Tahiti a lot here. I love the ette rings. I had a meeting at my ward mission leader’s house last night and I wanted to print your email and I seen it. I love them both but ya the first one got all the votes....ha ha. Next week on the 17th we are going to Zion’s Camp as a mission. The mission is in 1/2 for the 2 days so I go on the first day. It’s going to be a lot of fun :) Can you give all my little letters to the kids. Thank you. Thank you for always loving me and having a wonderful childhood. I love you so much best friend.
