where does the good go

dear beloved loved ones,
what a strange week. but a week where i learned lots of good lessons. on monday night we had an awesome 2nd visit with roxana. the last time we'd taught her was 2 weeks ago and we left the book of mormon. something came up last week and we couldn't teach her so we didn't really have much hope for her to progress, but we went to the appointment. she had read the introduction, the testimonies of the 3 and 8 witnesses and joseph smith and was starting chapter 3 of 1 nephi. she knew all about where the book of mormon and had already felt it's power and influence in her life. awesome.
tuesday i started to get sick and then wednesday my stomache formed into a cannibalisitc monster and wouldn't stop eating me. it hurt so bad. between tuesday wednesday and thurday i think i ate enough food for just breakfast one day. but that was probably a good thing and really being sick was a good thing for me. because i had been getting a little stressed out with all the things i wanted to do in this ward and sometimes i get a little over-zealous and stress myself out. so getting sick just reminded me that this is in the LORD'S hands and it is His work and He is going to have it done how He wants to. i guess i just needed a little humble pie.
on friday we had a lesson with a recent convert who never seems happy. i finally figured out why. she told us how she's never been able to forgive her husband for something that happened a long time ago and he's apologized for several times. and she says she will NEVER forgive him. even though they live together and have a child together. dear family and friends, if someone has done you harm and you have not forgiven them, forgive them NOW. decide you will forgive them now. if you have a hard time doing it, pray and ask for help. because by not forgiving someone you are not actually hurting anyone but yourself--you cannot recieve forgiveness for your sins and it is a burden on your back. so when you do let it go, you will be set free!!! and you have a better chance of reaching the celestial kindgom. and we need all the helps we can get.
welp those are my words of wisdom for the week. i love you all and pray for you all and hope you are all happy and healthy.
love,
kelli jean, hruss.


peace+love
