I know this Gospel is true!

Well im not really sure how to start this weeks letter! Besides I know that this Gospel is true. I know that our Heavenly Father loves us more than we can understand. I also know that the verse in Ether 12:6 is so true. I know that we receive no witness until after the trial of our faith. Then going back to another scripture in Mosiah 16: 8-9 "But there is a resurrection therefore the grave hath no victory and the sting of death is swallowed up in christ. 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." I know that our grandpa " pop" is in the spirit world. A place that we go to learn and teach the things we already know. I know without a doubt in my mind that he is at peace. Also that he is learning and going to accept what he will learn. The work here in the Mesa Vista Ward is going great. Our 1 investigator that had a baptism date has since dropped us. He is an amazing man and I know he will come back. Since this week we havent had anyone to teach, we have been doing a lot of knocking on doors, and I'll just say… it's humbling. :) 

I love all of you so much. Please keep in mind the plan of salvation. The knowledge of where we came from and where we are going. Things are going great here and I wouldnt have it any other way! I keep you all in my prayers. I love you all so much!

“Whether slowly or quickly, what comes from the tongue ought to be thought through before being let loose. ‘Be careful of your thoughts,’ said one observer. ‘They may break into words at any time.’ People often hurt both themselves and others with unwise words, and then they say they didn’t think what they were saying, or didn’t mean what they said. But as someone has expressed it: ‘The person who says just what he thinks should think.’ The processes of thought are difficult to follow or define, but speaking or acting before we have taken time to think, often gets us into trouble. Words are among our greatest tools and among our most dangerous weapons. We can endear ourselves to others or destroy friendship; we can encourage and comfort, or cause heartaches and do cruel damage—with words. It would be terrible not to be able to communicate. But it is also terrible to talk without discretion, without truth or kindness or consideration. It would be terrible if all our talk were negative, sarcastic, critical. But when we encourage others, when we teach truth, when we bring comfort, when we help men to be better, words are wonderful. We are in a sense as much responsible for what we do to others with our words as we could be with weapons. In a sense, you can hit a man with words—‘words as hard as cannon balls’ as Emerson said it. In any case, words somehow come from our thoughts, and saying that we didn’t think doesn’t help much after the damage is done. Falsehoods spread, rumors fly, hearts are hurt, all with unwise words. ‘The person who says just what he thinks, should think.’ ‘Be careful of your thoughts. They may break into words at any time.’”
