Sending Knee Mails



I call it sending "knee mails" when I kneel down and think of  missionaries in our mission that need special prayers.  

Missionaries can find themselves in my prayers every morning as I think of their needs.

Some have health problems. (Broken bones, aching teeth, kidney stones, not able to sleep, just to name a few.)

Others get calls from home about a family member who has passed away.

Others are struggling with keeping the rules. I pray that they will have that extra power to do the right.

I hear of emotional problems and pray for that.

These missionaries are so dog gone special to me.  

I pray for all of them every single day.

Believe

 I woke up this morning singing a song from the new hymnbook called " Believe ."  Then what happens? I come to zone conference for the Service Missionaries and the choir was practicing a song for it.  Of course, it was this song.  This happens all the time!   You know what Albert Einstein said. " There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."  Here are the words to the song.  Believe Because He walked the path, I know the way. Because He calmed the storm, I'm not afraid. Because He made the lame to walk and caused the blind to see And blessed the children one by one, I feel His love for me.  And I will praise forever t he Savior of the world. And I will sing together with all the Saints on earth. Because He gave to me ev'rything He had to give, I breathe, I see, I hope, I love, I live. Because He died for me, I'll live again.  Because He is my Friend, I'l...

My Blessing

Image
  On June 1, 2025 at 2:00 pm I was set apart by the stake president as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  I couldn't have been more happy about anything. My whole heart and soul were so happy.  I was fasting and so prepared to receive this blessing. My blessing.  Pres Dunkley blessed me to have the spirit to guide me in my duties. He blessed me with the ability to love the missionaries and to form life long relationships with them. He blessed me with health.  Here's the kicker! He blessed me that my arms and legs function properly.  I was a little surprised about the last words in the blessing. You see, the night before, Saturday, May 30th, I was in the emergency department at the University of Utah hospital with a terrible pain in my right leg.  President Dunkley did not know about this visit to the hospital. This was all made known to him though the Spirit.  I thought I had a blood clot in my leg and I know how se...

President Dallin H. Oaks

  Dallin H. Oaks was sustained as the prophet, seer and revelator for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  I know he is a prophet. One day shortly after President Nelson passed away I was reading the most recent general conference talk by President Oaks.  This is what he said in the talk. "One of the most significant of God's helps for His faithful children is the gift of the Holy Ghost." We have to be baptized in order to get this gift, he says. And, "All who possess this inestimable gift, this pearl of great price, has a continual thirst after righteousness and without the aid of the Holy Spirit no mortal can walk in the straight and narrow way." He says we simple cannot walk the straight and narrow way without baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost.  He answered my long lost question I have had.  Why do we need baptism? A dear friend of mine asked many many years ago.  It seems silly, she said, that we have to do this act of baptism in order...
