Kia Ora America!
This week has been an amazing blur!
First of all i received my birthday parcel and
it was so great! I got it on a day that i needed a good laugh and a smile. i
opened it up and grabbed the the NZHM tshirts and all the sisters were like
"woah you were JUST talking about how you don't have NZ shirt yet"
because i have been like for the past couple weeks. how did yous get those and
how did you know i've been wanting one? man the spirit guys, revelation is a
thing. And the star wars pictures were THE BEST and the card made me so happy.
I click it and listen to the the star wars song every morning before we leave
the flat hahahaha It was so fun to share the pixy stix and skittles with all
the sisters who had never tasted flavored sugar in a paper tube. everything in
there was just what i needed and i loved it all SO much! Thanks!! and my
companion loves her socks :)
This week we got to watch conference! YES!!
Waiting a week is so weird, lame time differences. But i loved listening to all
the inspired talks and finding things that can help me as a daughter of God, a
family member, a missionary, and a future mother. And heaps of other things as
well. One of my favorite talks was about "Ponderizing". I really
liked how Elder Durrant talked about how he ponderizes with his family and
friends and how it has helped them grow closer to each other and their Heavenly
Father. So I have made a decision on behalf of the Judd Family, and we are
going to Ponderize a scripture verse each week! Since I received this
revelation for our family i decided to prayfully pick a scripture for us to
ponderize this week and yous can decide who can choose the next verse for next
week. I'm really excited about this because we get to be close while still
being far away from each other. I know that if each of you really put in the
effort to truly ponder this verse and decide how you can apply it into your
individual live and the life of the Judd Family we all can grow closer to each
other and to our Father in Heaven. I"M EXCITED!! So the verse is
John 4:14 "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall
give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in
him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
I love you all and can't wait to hear about the
verse! Get creative, mum i challenge you to put it somewhere where all the
family can see it! Boys and Jess put it as your screen saver or with all your
school work so that you can see it everyday. And when yous wake up in the
morning and say your morning prayers ponder the scripture and apply it to your
life. I love this scripture so much because it shows s that with the Gospel of
Jesus Christ we don't have to thirst or hunger after anything else because The
Gospel of Jesus Christ can help us with anything. and once we realize that our
decisions are based on returning to be with the ones we love for eternity.
IT"S AMAZING!!
okay i love you all
may the force be with you
