Dear Hermanocoons4you,

Natalie (almost) has a date for sweethearts. She is taking Ethan's cousin Charlie. She has worked with him at the BYU games catering. She is excited.

Mason discovered he likes pears, but not mean sisters. Natalie gave him her pears to make up for being a bully.

I was Queen Esther in primary today. I got to dress up and tell all the kids about what I did to save my people. Dad was Elisha the prophet. We were the cutest Old Testament couple in there!

Bonnie has hurt her foot and is trying not to walk with me. 😭 Don't worry I won't let her get rid of me that easily.

I love you. I'm so proud of you. Heavenly Father and Jesus love you!

Love,

Mom

Lessons from Esther: The Lord places us in situations where we can help others and accomplish His will. Have you ever wondered why the Lord has sent you to the earth at this time and placed you in your particular circumstances? Have you ever worried that you might not be strong enough to do something that God wants you to do? Esther demonstrated courage by deciding to risk her life in order to do what was right. If we fast and pray for the Lord's help, He can bless us with spiritual strength to do difficult things. If we act courageously to do what is right, then our efforts can bless the lives of many people. True courage isn't the absence of fear but acting in faith and obedience, trusting God's plan. Spiritual preparation precedes courageous action.
