Be Not Moved

Transfer week. Nothing stresses me out more than transfer week. I couldn't sleep last night. I tossed and turned all night. As we were trying (key word TRYING) to do our studies this morning I was practically having an anxiety attack. I have loved being here in Clarence with Sister McLaren SO much and I was so scared for transfer calls! Finally they came. As usual, the Elders think they're funny and they joke about where we're going to see our reaction. Eventually we got them to let us know that I will be getting transferred to Canandaigua! Canandaigua is about 15-20 minutes away from Palmyra! So once spring comes, my area will be a site area! I'm so sad to leave Amherst, but Canandaigua will bring new adventures and miracles! It'll be a sister training leader area again so i'll still get to do exchanges and do trainings and things like that which I love because I've learned so much! Also now I will have served in all 3 stakes in the mission! Rochester, Buffalo, and Palmyra!:) WAHOO!!

You'll never believe what happened today! I got to go outside..... without wearing tights under my skirt! We hit 39 degrees and it feels like heaven! Only in Buffalo does 39 degrees feel like heaven! There's a member in the Buffalo ward who was telling us that we really live in the worst case scenario. In February it was colder here than in the North Pole, colder than it was on Mars. Yep... Buffalo broke a record for the coldest month ever. I was here for the worst winter they've had. But it's beginning to look a lot like spring!:) (meaning the snow is melting and it's only to my knees now!:) PROGRESS 

As for this last week, we had exchanges with the Gowanda sisters. They're in a trio So i got to be in a trio for the day!:) We spent almost the whole day on the Reservation and this less active's son is a member of the Longhouse (the native american religion). It was really cool for him to tell us about some of their beliefs and to see that they really are the decedents of the Lamanites in the Book of Mormon. So many of the beliefs are so similar but you can tell that there are things missing and things added! (The Apostasy is real!) 

It's been super fun to serve in the YSA because every week we go and set up a table at UB (the campus close by) with the YSA elders and we get to have people come up to us and ask us a ton of questions. The first time it felt so weird being back on a college campus, but now I'm grateful for USU and how the majority of the people there are LDS!

Also Thursday Mornings we go and volunteer at a nursing home and we do their exercise program with them (baton waving haha) and we paint the ladies nails! They say the funniest things. They were handing out treats and Rita, one of my favorites, said "Was it made in China? If it's made in China, I don't want it! You can't trust those things." haha I about died She kept saying "I was born in the USA and I'm going to die in the USA! Let's be Americans please!" She's such a crack up!

Saturday we had a relief society conference and it was themed after the parable of the 10 virgins. "Oil in Their Lamps".There were different breakout sessions where we talked about temple attendance, family history, food storage, having a grateful heart, recognizing talents and abilities the Lord has given you, or the signs of the second coming. They all went through different things that we can do to make sure our lamps and vessels are filled with oil. It was so insightful! There are so many things we can do to fill our lamps. As we were going through it, one of the scriptures that kept popping into my head was D&C 87:8 "Wherefore, stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord." Standing in Holy Places isn't so much about physical location as it is about ourselves and whether or not we make places the kind of environment that the spirit can dwell in. And it all starts with doing the primary things: read your scriptures, go to church, have FHE, say your prayers. But then "BE NOT MOVED". It's these things that will in essence fill our lamps. Don't let anything keep you from doing them. "for it cometh quickly". I know I want to be prepared for when the Lord comes and I'm so grateful for His help. I'm so grateful for the gospel to help fill my lamp!

I love you all! have a great week!

March Madness

March?! Already?!?! I can't believe it! But great things are ahead here in Buffalo! The Amherst ward is doing "Missionary March" where each day we go into a member's home and help them decide what kind of missionary work they want to accomplish within the next week as individuals or families and then we start their fast with them (obviously we can't fast everyday...) It was so amazing to be with one of the families last night and to hear the missionary work that they're already doing (this family is such a rockstar family! One of my favorites in the ward) and to see them have the desire to take their work one step further! And to do that each night with a different family is going to bring about some SERIOUS miracles!

Oh and last Tuesday we had 2 members of the Seventy come for our iPad training. I was a bit nervous that it was going to be a boring meeting all about the ipads and telling us all the things that we weren't doing right. Boy was I wrong! When Elder Evans got up to speak, the first thing he said was "If I, as a special witness of Jesus Christ, were to stand up here and only talk to you about iPads, I would be forever wrong. This isn't about iPads. This has nothing to do with iPads really. It has everything to do with your salvation and your desire to be a better, more dedicated disciple of Christ." WOW! It was such a good meeting about how we've been trusted by the Lord more than any other missionary in the history of the church with these tools that we're using. What am I doing with that trust? Am I showing the Lord that He Can trust me?  One thing that I thought was so interesting is that he said: "The mission field is the place where the Lord is seeing fit to strengthen you against the temptations of the world. The temptations with technology will never go away but if we can teach you NOW, you'll be better fit to overcome those temptations for the rest of your life and not only that but you'll know how to use technology for the purpose that it was really invented. To further the work of the Lord." I received so much revelation on how to better use the iPad as a tool but more than anything, I walked away from that meeting with a stronger testimony of our Savior. Those men really are special witnesses and what a blessing it was to be in their presence!

 

Highlight from this week: We met with Steve a few times. One of my favorite things in the whole world is being able to see someone's countenance change even just over a short period of time because of the gospel! The first time we knocked on Steve's door he was very adamant on how corrupt organized religion was and even after 5 minutes of bearing testimony I could see him softening. Now, a few weeks later, he's read the Book of Mormon so consistently, he's been to the church and family history center, we took him on a tour of the church building and we've kept daily contact with him. The light in his eyes keeps getting brighter and brighter. This last week he was talking about how empty other churches feel when you go inside and I asked how he felt while he was at our church. His response almost put me in tears. He said "The first things that come to mind is how homey it feels and how simplistic it is. I don't think God wants His church to be a big show." Man, this man who's known about the church for about 3 weeks has had such a change of heart and it makes my heart melt to think about it!:) He's thought a lot about baptism and says he will when he's ready, but that he likes everything he's seen and heard so far!

Transfers are next week and I'm hoping that I can stay so I can see him be baptized, but no matter what happens, as long as he gets baptized, I'll be so happy! The members that we've had come with us to lessons have really clicked with him and it was so cool to see the other day when Brother Lamb (who's a convert) was so bold. Without hesitation, when we talked about baptism, he said "Steve, this is THE SINGLE most important decision you'll ever make in your life." 

I know that this is the Lord's work and I feel so blessed to play a small role in it! I am so grateful to be able to see the lives of so many people change and to see them become the people God wants them to be! I know that the Lord puts us in specific places for a reason. Wherever you are right now, you're where the Lord needs you!

Have a great week!

Endure To The End

So we got a major heat wave this week! Not only was it positive, but it was in the double digits. Yesterday we hit 24 degrees! Wahoo!! I felt like I could wear my skirt with no tights. :) haha

This week has been super crazy! Sister McLaren and I gave trainings at both our zone meeting and Buffalo south's zone meeting! It went pretty well! We took them on a journey talking about 4 different principles of following up. I get so nervous before trainings because I want them to be so perfect, but once we get going they always turn out pretty good! 

After buffalo South's zone meeting, we went on exchanges with our Freedom sisters! It was so fun to see how they were doing. There haven't been sisters in Freedom for 25 years and it's cool to see the miracles that they're seeing! Exchanges are probably my favorite part of being a Sister Training Leader. I love being able to see the sisters and learn from their missionary work! After their exchange we were on our way to go to our other sisters in Gowanda and we got a phone call for an emergency Mission Leadership Council (MLC) the next day so we had to cancel with our other sisters and drive home to spend the next day with President Francis preparing us for when the 2 members of the seventy will be speaking to us tomorrow. That should be fun! 

We faced a lot of challenges this last week! Lots of tough things happened, and as much as that's a part of missionary work, and as many times as it happens, it's NEVER any easier. Tuesday we had an investigator who was in a really bad place and within 10 minutes of trying to talk to him and help him, we had a member call us and she was facing some MAJOR struggles. She'd been a member for a year and was REALLY struggling. Then we had to cancel our exchanges with Gowanda. Then the day before our sites trip, Tonya said she didn't want to meet with us anymore. I mean one thing after another kept happening... Talk about my heart being ripped out... But I was reading in the Book of Mormon the other day and I read one of the scriptures that I'd read a million times! But this time it meant something different for ME. 2 Nephi 31:20 says "Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the words of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: ye shall have eternal life." I know that the Lord was so aware of me and what Sister McLaren and I had to go through this last week and as I read this scripture I knew that it was up to me to Press Forward and Endure to the END! This week it felt like everyday I was just trying to endure until the end of the day. I was so comforted to know that as I kept enduring, the Lord would help me. It was also kind of a spiritual kick in the pants saying "Sister Nield! Get your act together! You've been through hard times before and you know that it's going to make you a better person so stop whining!" haha I need a spiritual kick in the pants every now and then! 

And despite the hard things we went through, there were SO many things to be grateful for! Sister McLaren have gotten even closer over this last week! We got to spend a day with President, the other STLs and Zone Leaders. We got to have an amazing lesson with Steve and committed him to baptism which he'd been thinking about before we even asked him. We got to go to the sites with the YSA and it felt like I was home again! I got to take tours at each of the sites! I got to go through the grove in the snow and it was BEAUTIFUL! 

There are going to be things to endure but despite those things there are also things to enjoy! President Hinckley said "Life isn't just to be endured but enjoyed". So much wisdom in one statement! Find happiness in the little things:)

I love you all and how you have a great week!:)

Many Are Called, But Few Are Chosen

Man! This last week has been quite the week! We've definitely been staying busy!
Sister McLaren and I came up with a Missionary March idea for the Amherst ward where everyday we will go and instead of having dinner with these families, we're going to start a fast with them to have their own missionary opportunities. It's going to be a huge thing for the ward and the bishop is really pushing it! He's been so awesome with missionary work! But I've been asked to speak next Sunday to get the ward pumped for it, so I've been preparing for that. Then I had to give a talk in the YSA branch yesterday so I was preparing for that. Then tomorrow is our zone meeting and Wednesday is Buff South's zone meeting and we have to do a training at both so we've been preparing for that. Lots of preparation this last week.
My 8 month mark was spent tracting in the snow. There was this neighborhood where a member lived and we decided we'd visit the member and then tract in the neighborhood right next to it. It kind of reminded me of a day back when I was with Sister Andrus (I still can't believe that she's already gone home). Sister Andrus and I knocked on at least 20 doors and NO ONE opened. Haha I remember that like it was yesterday. This day though, we knocked on at least 35. It was FREEZING, it was snowing, and EVERYONE answered their door. And EVERYONE very rudely declined. After about the 10th door I had this urge to punch someone in the nose, but I refrained and used a bit more self control than I would've liked at the time. We both wanted to leave the area, but I remembered a quote from a missionary book that I had read before my mission. This man served in Romania and would go tracting in big apartment complexes. His motto was:"Last floor last door". So we kept trudging along. No one was interested to put it mildly, but the last house we passed there was a man out shoveling. His name is Eric. He's in his mid 40s I'd say and we started talking to him. When he saw us he was like, "You're LDS aren't you?" I'm sure the look on my face was priceless (I can't decide if that's due to the fact that my mascara was dripping down my face and I was so sick of it that I didn't care to wipe it away, or the fact that I was so shocked that someone called us LDS). No one ever calls us LDS. Come to find out he dated a member when he was in high school and really looked into the church for a while. We talked to him for probably 15 minutes in the snow and he said we could come back and talk to his family anytime. I learned that sometimes the Lord lets us go through some tough things because there is something much better at the END. We wouldn't have appreciated it as much had we not experienced some hard things. Even though all of those people were rude, the only hard feelings I have are because I'm so sad that they chose not to accept the one thing that can bring them eternal happiness. I don't know those people but I love them more than I can explain.
For Valentine's Day, we made a valentine and took it to one of our members in a nursing home. We couldn't stay long because he was having Valentine's dinner, so we left him the valentine and went on our way. As we were driving home that night we got a call and Brother Reade was calling to thank us for the valentine. He was telling us how much it meant to him that we thought about him and were willing to go see him. He was so appreciative and my heart was so full and I just felt so satisfied with the work Sister McLaren and I have done here.
We had exchanges with Cheektowaga this week and it was so fun to be with Hermana Storms. We had a lot of fun and saw quite a few miracles. #1: The YSA is taking a temple trip on Saturday and whoever isn't going to the temple is going to the sites, and we got Tonya to agree to come with us. I'm so excited to take her to the sacred grove and have her pray to know if the church is true in the place where it all started. She's been pretty hesitant but she gets a long with all the YSA members that we've taken with us so we're excited to get her there.
To fill you in on the weather, yesterday we weren't allowed out of our apartments except for church because the high was -15 degrees. The low was -35. Welcome to February in Western NY.  I'm surprised that I don't have frostbite yet with walking through snow up to my waist. But luckily I'm still alive. Send a little heat my way please! (Ps I'm still bitter that the one winter when I'm gone, ya'll have a great winter... :P)
Love you all anyway! Have a fantastic week!:)
Love,
Sister Mandi Nield

Let It Snow

Mama, I got your package this week! Thank you!:)
I hate when it's time to email because it feels like the week has gone by so fast and I never know what to share. Every week is so different, but so much alike. It seems like everything just runs together since time is going so fast.
It's snowed a lot.. Haha I'm a bit jealous of the 50-60 degree weather in Utah! Of course the one winter I'm gone it decides to be warm there ha no it's really funny. So Clarence is a wealthier place. People are fortunate enough to have houses with garages, people have their long driveways plowed and fail to shovel their walkways to their front door because they just use their garage. Sister McLaren and I have had to just trudge through lots of snow to get to people's doors. With all the snow we've got, it comes up about mid thigh so by the time I get to the door and back, my tights are COVERED in snow--top to bottom.
So the other day, we walked up to this house, knocked, no answer.. So we decided to go across the street and since we have to walk through the snow anyway, I though I'd be smart and just walk through the yard to the street. Well on the sides of the road are mountains of snow from the snow plows. So we're walking through the snow and I get to the mountain of snow and I'm up to my stomach in snow and I realize I'm stuck. I can't move. Haha. I can't turn around, I can barely move my feet. So I have to try as hard as I can go lift my leg above the snow and luckily at the top the snow was packed enough that I could pull the rest of my body out of the snow and slide down the mountain. Gotta love the Buffalo experience.
Tonya has really been moving forward. She's had about half of the YSA branch come to her lessons, so she's met quite a few people, but she's still not feeling like she's ready to come to church. It was so cool though, last week when we were teaching her I asked her how she feels when she reads the Book of Mormon. She said, "I know it's true. There's no other explanation for it. It has to be true." I was so amazed. She is so prepared, she just needs to come to church! She'll feel the spirit so much stronger if she comes. She has become such a good friend. That's one thing that I love about serving in the YSA branch. I get to teach people that are my friends. My favorite thing has been to see the light in Tonya's eyes grow brighter and brighter over the last couple weeks. She's growing so much. :)
I've thought a lot this week about the blessings that come from "forgetting yourself and going to work". God is so good. As I've tried my hardest to not think about myself, focus on the people and give everything to them, I feel like I've been the one to receive the greatest blessings from it. I get to witness the growth of each of the people that were working with. I've seen Gods hand in their lives. I've learned more to strengthen my testimony than I can even explain. It's just so interesting how in our commitment to serve others, we still benefit so much more than we'll ever realize. :)
Oh and it was so crazy! I got an email from Sister Andrus (my trainer) since she went home just a couple weeks ago. Now she's Turia, not sister.. It really hit me that I'm not going to be here forever. YUCK!! Buffalo has been so good to me!
Love,
Sister Nield!

The Danger of Delegation‏

Another wonderful week goes down in the books. Aside from the foot of snow we got last night that's still falling, everything has been great! I don't know if I mentioned this last week but last week was transfer week. I'm staying and so is Sister McLaren. We're still the only sisters in the zone but we'll be doing exchanges with the sisters that just got put into the Buff South zone in Cheektowaga, Freedom, and still Gowanda. We got another set of elders in the Amherst ward so now there are 3 sets of missionaries in the ward.
So this week we had to split the area and it has been so cool to see how the Lord has been preparing us for this. Most of our main people have been in the sweet home area (mostly because we live 10 miles outside of Clarence so it's better on miles to go to the Sweet Home area). But we've felt the need to spend more time in Clarence and that's where all of our miracles have been happening. It's funny how the Lord prepares us for things to come.
I won't lie, I was a bit nervous to pass Brother Candino off to the new elders just because of the progress that we'd made with him, so we took the elders over to meet him and brother candino told me "I don't make promises that I can't keep, but I promise that you'll see me at church on Sunday." And of course, he followed through. After church as he was walking out he said "I promise you'll see me next week!" I can't even begin to explain how happy that makes me. Brother Candino is back!:)
Thursday, Sister McLaren and I had the opportunity to go down to Buffalo for the NRC (Network of Religious Community) meeting at the b\Buffalo ward building. What an amazing opportunity it was to see so many different religions all come together. There were people from religions that I didn't even know existed. I guess growing up in Utah kind of deprives you of that. Haha. I had the chance to sit and talk to a Hindu priest. It was so neat to compare beliefs and get to understand more about what they believe. I want to take a second to just brag about this ward. They are all so missionary focused and so willing to help out the missionaries. There is a family in the ward that 2 of the kids had friends come to church with them last Sunday that we'll be teaching and on of the other kids in that family introduced us to her friend Rachel last P-day. This girl is such a miracle! She was asking such deep questions and she genuinely is seeking for the truth! As of a couple days ago, we texted her to see how she was, when we could meet again, and if she'd had a chance to start reading the Book of Mormon. You will never guess what happened. She's already read over half of the Book of Mormon. We showed her last Monday a couple different places in the Book of Mormon that could help answer the questions she had and she is just eating it up! There are people prepared for the gospel but they're kept from the truth because they don't know where to find it. If that family hadn't invited their friends to meet with us, Rachel wouldn't have found the gospel when she needed it most. Always be ready to open your mouth!
And now for the funny story of the week. The danger of delegation. Once upon a time, Sister McLaren and I were doing our weekly planning. Friday mornings always consist of about 2 1/2 hours of planning out who we want to see for the next week, what we want to teach, what we want our goals to be, etc. We were getting close to the end of our planning but had to talk to the Amherst 2.0 elders about one of the investigators in the Sweet Home area that they'd be having a lesson with and they told us they'd call us after the 12 week meeting for the greeny. So we hung up and continued on for about 2 minutes and our phone starts ringing and President Francis's name shows up on the phone (that never fails to give me anxiety). So we answer and he asks if we're planning on being at the meeting. And we said "what meeting?" So he proceeds to tell us that we were supposed to be at the meeting with all the elders since almost half of our mission is in training, we're going to be doing 12 week as a mission. Apparently the zone leaders were supposed to tell us, which shouldn't have been hardbecause we see them at least 4 times a week between district meeting, church, and YSA activities. Haha. So we speed to get to the church as fast as we can. We were a half hour late. So after the meeting President made a comment about how funny it is that the only sisters in the zone are the only ones that didn't hear about the meeting, so we pulled the elders aside for a second. The zone leaders told the district leader to tell us. The district leader was getting ready for his greeny to get here and told his companion before transfers to tell us. Haha no one told us... Hopefully this doesn't become routine. Ha I love the district that I'm serving in though! They're all great missionaries. And sometimes I forget that they're 18-21 year old boys. I guess they have an excuse. ;) haha
All is well in Zion! Hoorah for Israel!
Love,
Sister Nield

Spoonful of Sugar

I am constantly amazed at how much our Heavenly Father loves us! He is SO aware of each of us and everything that we're going through and will bless us with exactly what we need, exactly when we need it (and from what I've learned, not a moment sooner).

This last week was so full of miracles and happy moments and my heart is so full of gratitude! This story starts the first Sunday of January. We had a lesson in relief society about reaching our potential through change (kind of fitting for New Years right?) Well at the end, the teacher handed out a piece of paper and all it said was "One Little Word". On that paper we were supposed to write down a word that we wanted to work on for the year. Some people put faith, others patience, others scripture study. I put a lot of thought into it, since in the past I've basically sucked at new years resolutions, and I decided that the word I wanted to work on was "sacrifice". Since then I've studied sacrifice in the scriptures, read talks on it, etc. I've even picked a theme scripture for the year -- Omni 1:26. Ever since I've been working on sacrifice, I've felt like the Lord keeps putting situations in my path in which I have to sacrifice something. I've tried to have a good attitude about it, knowing that when we sacrifice things, it usually means something better is around the corner. 

A couple weeks ago, we sacrificed time in our area to go do exchanges in Dansville and Gowanda, but it didn't really feel like a sacrifice because we got to spend so much time with those wonderful sister and to help them in their area. We saw miracles! But since then, things have been pretty slow in our area. We've had to sacrifice dropping people who aren't progressing in hopes that the Lord will provide more people to teach, but it just didn't feel like it was happening! I kept thinking of my word, Sacrifice. Sacrifice: to sacrifice is to give up something we value for the sake of something of greater worth.

I felt like my sacrifice was enough. I felt like I'd given all I could to the Lord, but I was wrong. I had made the sacrifices but I needed to keep working hard. Sister McLaren and I work so hard everyday, but I was just expecting new investigators to just fall into our laps. Haha... if only it were that easy. And just because we were working hard didn't mean we could affect the agency of those we were talking to. We kept working so hard to contact as many people as we could in one day and to see how many people we could meet.

Like I said earlier, the Lord blesses us when we need it most and not a second sooner. Last week was such a miracle!:) Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were slower. We'd had great lessons with Tonya, Eugene, and we'd been trying really hard to meet with a few members of the ward to teach them something and ask who they knew that we could stop in and see. Thursday, we taught 4 lessons in 2 1/2 hours just by contacting member referrals and trying other people in the area.

Thursday night we were trying to find the house of one of the member's friends and there were two men on the street. We started talking to them, but they were in the middle of a business conversation so one of them gave us the cold shoulder and told us to try his neighbor Steve. My first thought by his tone of voice was "this is a joke." But we tried it anyway. So we knock on Steve's door and start talking to him and after the first thing he said i thought "Yep.. this really is a joke." He kept talking about how corrupt organized religion is and how God doesn't want it to be like that! Something he said made me laugh on the inside! He said "Men can get closer to God by praying in the woods than in a church building!" haha in my head I said "little do you know your right. I know a boy who went out to a forest to pray when he was 14 years old and he was called to be the prophet of the restoration of the Lord's church." We kept testifying that we know that our message is true and talked to him a little about prophets and after a minute he gave us a funny look and told us to come in. So we went in and taught him the restoration and he REALLY liked the idea of prophets! He took a copy of the Book of Mormon and said he'd read it and we're meeting with him again tomorrow. 

We met a lady named Alison. She and her husband are looking for a church for their family and she said we could come back because "who knows. Maybe this could be the one."  We met Nicole whose mom just passed away and wants us to talk to her about the Plan of Salvation. She wants to know like we do that she can be with her mother forever. We met Melissa who is getting into family history.

My favorite miracle though! We were having dinner at one of the less actives in the ward. His name is Brother Candino. He's the sweetest, most Italian man I've ever met in my life, but he got pretty offended and hasn't been to church since. But he loves the missionaries. He calls himself the spoiler (that's a self given nickname haha). He invites us over for dinner every now and then. We were over for dinner and we've had to be really bold with him lately and basically told him through mormon messages that he needs to let go of his pride and come back to church. I can't count on 2 hands the amount of times he's told us no. He knows the church is true, he just can't let go of his hurt. Last week we had left him Alma 34 to read (all about not procrastinating the day of our repentance). As we were in the middle of talking about it, his neighbor comes over to bring back a pot. So Bro Candino invites him in and we got to teach him. Now we have a return appointment with Anthony and his girlfriend and her daughter.:) Brother Candino was able to bear his testimony, which was really powerful! And one of our recent converts was able to bear her testimony as well! That experience must have been really good for Brother Candino because yesterday at church we were talking to the bishop about people and families we wanted to take with us to visit him and all of a sudden we see brother Candino walk in. BROTHER CANDINO CAME TO CHURCH!!! He hasn't been in so long and it was such a miracle to see him there! I about had a heart attack when I saw him! That was the best surprise I've ever had!

Our sacrifices really do make a difference! The miracles that come from our sacrifices are like spoonfuls of sugar to help the medicine go down. The Lord is aware of everything that we do and He will bless us IN HIS OWN TIMING if we do His will! Sometimes we even have to come to terms with the fact that the blessings may not come the way we expect or want or in the timing we expect or want. But I know that our Heavenly Father knows better than we do, what we need and when we need it! All he asks of us is to obey Him! We definitely get the better end of the bargain.

 Love you all! Hope you have a great week!

Love,

Sister Nield
