This weeks email from Tori was kinda a sad one!!
Not on her end of course but something she had to hear from home!
One of her cousins Beth Houston was killed in a motorcycle/car accident this week. She was almost 25. She has not been an active member of the church for many years, but we know she was loved by all her family!
It was sad for me to have to tell Tori thru an email. Tori said this is one of her worst fears, to hear about family members passing away while she is on her mission. She said to tell everyone to "stay off motorcycles and don't run red lights!!"
But the wonderful missionary that she is had some wonderful words for all of us to remember, why we are here and that our Heavenly Father is alway there for us even when we have forgotten Him! He loves us all unconditionally!
Here are a few Scriptures from Sister Houston:
" Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." proverbs 3:5-6
"Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." joshua 1:9
" ...I will go before your face I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up." d&c 84:88
I know that our Heavenly Father loves you all! Trust in him! Know that he is there always!
Lots of love,
Sister Houston
