The Countdown Is On

Dad, I love you to death! Thank you for helping me to learn and grow as much as I could while growing up at home!

I just feel so bad sometimes that I can't do anything to help you with your back, and I have to say it's hard to imagine what you're going through, since I left before it got too bad. I'll be sure to be praying for you for as long as it takes to get better.

While you're studying the words of the Lord right now though, do you want to do a kind of "tag-team studying"? We had a devotional this Tuesday with Elder Clarke (we've had 4 straight weeks of speakers from General Conference, I love it!), and an idea came to my mind as he was speaking. He said to make sure to write spiritual experiences to our families, and maybe discuss what we've been studying. I think I've been doing that, but I think it would be cool if we could both write to each other what we've learned from the same stuff over the week. And this would help me a lot too, because I don't feel like I have enough time to really dig into the scriptures as much as I want to. But anyway, if you would want to do that, I would absolutely LOVE to work with you in scripture study again! This week, what I've been trying to read and understand was in D&C 88 and 130, both of which I've just come to realize have WAY more than I could understand by myself. D&C 88 I looked at last week in the temple, and it just hit me so powerfully. One thing that I've been trying to understand is that parable about 2 or 3 pages in. I don't know what the Lord was saying when He threw that in there when He was talking about some kingdoms, it sounds so out of place. Do you know anything about it?

The Rome Temple is expected to be finished spring of 2014, so it's very likely that all of us could go through it. I'M SO EXCITED FOR THAT!!! And apparently it's gonna be a really big one too, so that's awesome!

Thank you for being my Dad, and I love you a ton! See you in a few years!
