Dear Hermanoreocupof Heaven Heywood,

Aurora came over and brought me Reese's Oreo candies. It was sweet. I told her to do her homework. She has an online class to be a paramedic and needs to get it done. She never works on it. I told her I would eat all her candy if she doesn't do it.

Carson Andrews bore his testimony about President Nelson. It motivated me to bear my testimony about him as well. I love President Nelson.

Brittany Darger and I taught sunbeams today. Stacie was gone so Brittany was the substitute. We talked about staying on the covenant path so we could make it back to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus. And our favorite colors. Jesus made all of them. And played an animal guessing game. Jesus made the animals too.

Alexa got promoted from a sub to a sweeper. She was very excited. She is a cute worker girl.

We are hosting the ward walkabout. Except it's at the McGee's house. We're having wedding punch.

I love you! I'm proud of you! Heavenly Father loves you!

Love,

Mom

(Appended quotes) President Nelson believed the secret to a happy life is not what you have but the knowledge you possess of God. "They have to know that He has a plan for them. If they will follow that plan, they will find joy, even though life's hardships bring grief, challenge, sometimes pain, sadness... If they can have that faith in Him and link themselves to Him, they'll have strength to withstand the trials that life will bring. In the process they will find great joy." "Too many people consider repentance as punishment - something to be avoided except in the most serious circumstances. But this feeling of being penalized is engendered by Satan... Nothing is more liberating, more ennobling, or more crucial to our individual progression than is a regular, daily focus on repentance. Repentance is not an event; it is a process. It is the key to happiness and peace of mind." -President Nelson
