Ecuadorians love
Taylor Swift...so today when I heard 22 my subject for the week came to
me...the end.
Well this was a very
bittersweet week full of emotions. As most of you know, my Grandpa Sorensen
died at 93 years old Wednesday morning. I found out Thursday night and it was a
rough night, but since then I have been doing just fine and have been feeling
his love and all of your support/prayers...THANK YOU!
He was an amazing
man...for sure one of the best I have ever know. He set a MONSTER of an example
for his kids and all of his 50 grandchildren, including the youngest...yours
truly. :) Like all of my fam who has written me has said--we dont need to be
sad for anything because we KNOW that he is now back together with Grandma and
that he is happy as ever. And, like Kent said, Grandpa no longer has back pain
;)
I got to talk to
Sister Christensen Thursday night for about 10 minutes, and President for a
little bit on Friday morning which was great and helped a lot. They also came
to my ward for Sacrament meeting so I got to talk with them a little more
there--and show Sister Christensen a few pics/tell her about good ol´ Hughie.
As sad as it was
finding out Thursday night, the scriptures, pictures of him/the fam, my
patriarchal blessing (which he gave me) and a few letters from some of my best
friends/family made that night much easier. We are all so blessed to have had
him in our lives and I cant wait to see him again <3
This Saturday we had
the Baptism of T and M. It was an awesome service and soo much of their family
was there. Their mom is still attending church every Sunday and is currently
working out her marriage situation because she really wants to be baptized
also. They are a great family.
THANK YOU ALL for all
the birthday wishes! How awesome that my bday fell on a Pday! It was a great
one. We had a zone activity this morning, went hard on some bball and soccer
and volleyball. Afterwards we heading to Recreo, this huge mall, to go hard on
some burgers and ice cream, and tonight the family we baptized on Saturday is
throwing me a birthday dinner. Bout to eat an unhealthy amount of breaded
shrimp and coconut cake. Lets gooooo!!!
Love you all and
thanks so much for the support and prayers and everything. Keep my family in
your thoughts as they travel to services for Gramps...love you guys!!
Met another
Elder Sorensen the other day!
7 And if Christ
had not risen from the dead, or have broken the bands of death that the grave
should have no victory, and that death should have no sting, there could have been
no resurrection.
8 But there is
a resurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory, and the sting of death is
swallowed up in Christ.
9 He is the
light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never
be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death.
