{inspiration: all is well}

today:
woke up too early. napped too long thereafter.
church. temple recommend interview.
taught relief society.
my love grew stronger and deeper for the Mien sisters each week
as i get to know them.
like my mother, they too suffered, sacrificed,
and overcame many obstacles in their lives.
some weeks i can see sadness in there eyes
as they share stories and memories about their past.
sometimes they cried because spoken words have touched their hearts.
some are lonely. some are depressed.
some long for their children to join the church.
when lessons allowed, i can only reassured them
that they are loved by our Heavenly Father-
He is aware of their struggles and as they pray in time of need
He will stretch his hands forth to calm their hearts.
i know that each and every Mien sisters put all that they have,
even their trust in God;
perhaps it is something they found that God has given them:
hope and comforts.

so fun to have Mae around.
she just ate dinner and now watching yo gabba gabba
(i like bugs) with her dad.
she's getting two teeths in the front.
it's barely peaking out. so cute.
tried sticking my finger in her mouth yesterday and she bit me!
not too keen on my part.
she's also learned how to wave her hands at people.

laundry is done. what a nice feeling.
baked 'world's best chocolate chips cookies'
for new next door neighbor (Ann & Stephanie).
not a member of the church but seemed super nice.
busy day tomorrow. not looking forward to it but time is unstoppable. 
can't prevent tomorrow from happening.

smile. and. rejoice. all is well.
