Welcome Back!

Hi
 This week was better, just trying
to keep going. Anyways, I just wanted to leave a thought
with you. Elder Christofferson had a talk sometime somewhere a while
back, and now it's a Mormon Message. He talks about an old member of
the 12 who used to be in the military. Before a certain tour, he
bought an old farm in Canada? and started to work on it. He severely
down a bush (some kind of fruit? lets call it a berry bush). that was
big, but had no fruit. after he cut it back, it seemed to cry, but he
told it "look, im the gardener here, and i know what i want you to
be". Later he was denied the position of general because he was
Mormon. He was mad at God, and shook his hands at Heaven, saying" How
could you do this to me?" In his mind, he heard "Look, Im the gardener
here, and I know what I want you to be". In short, our will isn't what
matters. It's God's. And He loves us enough to hurt us, to cut us
down, and to help us become who we need to be. Love you lots Mom, hope
to hear from you next week!
Love,
Elder Honda
