Motorcycle Accident #18

 Hey Everyone!

Hope you are well! Last night we were walking to a member's house when we saw a guy crash his motorcycle in the sand field on the side of the road. It was pitch black and we could hear him grunting in pain. We went to go help him up and he was drunk out of his mind. Brother could barely stand up. We couldn't start his motorcycle so we got a taxi for him and rode with to make sure he got home safely. A great "Good Samaritan" experience.  Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, I appreciate your love and support! Hard to believe I'm 20!!

Spiritual thought

How do you feel God's love? Many people who do not believe in God say something like "there is no way to know, I cant see him, or hear him".  To me God is everywhere. I see him in everything good in life. Dieter F. Uchdortf said this "As you visit the temple and attend Church meetings, listen for His voice. Listen for the voice of the Father in the bounties and beauties of nature, in the gentle whisperings of the Spirit. In your daily interactions with others, in the words of a hymn, in the laughter of a child, listen for His voice."

I feel God's love for me in the laughter of my nieces and nephews. In my relationships with my parents, siblings and friends. In the majesty of all God's Creation... every mountain, valley, river, ocean, creek, flower, sunrise, sunset, song of a bird and beauty of a flower. 

"Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime." Martin Luther

"I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in." George Washington Carver 

Let us "tune in" to the Love of our Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus Christ

Love,
