I think this is transfer 8: Week 5
i just wrote a LONG start to this week's email, then my clumsy hand hit the
wrong button and all is lost. i'm sorry. i'll try to make the re-do good. past
shows what happens to my morale when things like this happen. we'll see how
today turns out.
chlover, my love. the first single. easy. do you think i'd forget the format
that fast?!?! i have a song for you.
"now i'm sunny with a high of 75
since you took my heavy heart and made it light
and it's funny how you find you enjoy your life
when you're happy to be alive."
this is my theme song. christ has changed my life. spring is here in full force
and the weather is in the mid-70's. summer is around the corner, mango ice,
fresh pineapple and my one year on island mark are all around the corner. i feel
like miracles are around the corner, i know they are around every corner. i see
them every day.
today the temple was AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING beyond comprehension! it's
interesting how some things you don't realize you miss until you are reunited.
and it was really interesting to perceive the ways i've grown in the past year.
i don't think i've ever gotten more out of a few hours in the temple. i'm so
jealous of taipei missionaries that are able to go regularly!! i look frequent
temple trips when i get home. i think three things greatly influenced how
spectacular the temple was today...
1. really really really living the gospel for the past 13 months. long term
preparation, if you will.
2. going with a couple of questions in mind. in the past little while i've
learned from four source about the power of SEEKING answers. a. the ensign
article last month about enhancing study of d and c. b. elder perkins advising
us to attend every church meeting with a question or two we'd like answered. c.
the scriptures! do you know how many time they mention "ask and ye shall
receive" 70+! d. president hsu's free-flowing wisdom. i think ponder questions
before we go to the temple invites the holy ghost to teach according to our
needs. i think it also helps us to be alert and receptive to the message and
guidance heavenly father has for us.
3. short term preparation. i think the anticipation and build-up of this trip
and fasting before/during the session made a huge difference.
i love the house of the lord!
this week i'm going to organize my thoughts and hit you with an amazing email
next week. i'm sorry this is short. IT DOES NOT REPRESENT MY LOVE FOR YOU. MY
LOVE IS ETERNAL! FAMILIES ARE FOREVER.
i love you all.
love,
sister zeng yuru, jade lani ozawa
