Monday morning after washing, mopping, cleaning, vacuuming and studying we needed a break and jumped on the train for the city. The lite-rail (or train) is just a short block from our apartment so we are a bit spoiled. When we got to Seattle we walked 'down' to Pikes Market and saw these "Cabbage Bouquets" for just $10. They are just beautiful and then I found the verse in Isaiah and knew I had to share the bouquets with you so you could all read and see the flowers and know the power of God's word. Hope you enjoy these three bouquets!!
Weekly, on Monday, we receive The Washington Seattle Mission
"Good News". This week
Pres. Choi wrote the letter and he expressed gratitude for all the hard work
and effort that is exhorted each and every day. The he said, "This is the time that The Lord is
hastening His work. His High Expectations must become our expectations. We must raise our vision to His
vision. And although our thoughts
are not His thought yet, our diving goal is to become like Him....that each of
us can focus upon the Lord's thoughts and ways so that we can further His
work." Pres. Choi is a Seventy and our Mission President and how grateful
I am for his love and his desires to us to 'step up' to do His work.
Every week I also remind all of us to look for the Miracles that are
a part of our lives. Thurs. @ 3:10 we drove down a very long lane to visit
Dorothy whose home in on the shore of Angle Lake. I drove down the lane and undecidedly turned the car around
and headed it out. We still had about 500 feet to walk before we reached her
home. After our extended visit at 4:20 (and almost dark) we went to the car,
turned the key and there was 'narry a sound'... not even a click as I turned the
key...because I left the lights on.
So I called AAA and the driver could not find the address until after
his call to me. It is now 5:30
when he arrives and its very dark. He
came down the very narrow lane and was pleased to see my car headed out the
drive, attached the cables and WaLaa!!! the car started. Why did I turn the car around instead
of driving next to hers? These are the simple miracles I speak of...not luck! I shared these thoughts with the driver
and he was very 'impressed', shared my testimony of a Heavenly Father that
loves his children just as we love ours and keeps his eye on us. This was a great missionary experience,
planted a seed and hope someone else will come into his life and water it and
teach him. I am glad the lights came on but now the radio, clock and CD
are not working plus the 'maintenance required' light is on. Saturday we spent 45 minutes at Auto
Zone and after the gentleman checked all the fuses he said he did not know how
to fix it. Oh my, it is not fair
that these '2 ole ladies', who are both widows have no one to take care of these
car problems. Sometimes life just
is not fair!
Our count for the people we have spoken with this week is
tallied to send to President Miller.
We visited many, many
people because we were tracting and 80% were non-members. The plan for our visits was to give
each home a ticket and tell them about "The Angels Sing" which is a
Non-Denominational Celebration of Music held in our Seattle Stake Center. This production has been held for 7
years and some of the diverse participants are: The Ebony Church Gospel Singers; The Catholic Kennedy School Orchestra; The Spirit of Sounds Acapella Singers;
The LDS Choir; Mt Rainier Orchestra; Community Orchestra from So. Puget
Sound and Soloists from U of W. I am sure you can feel what a glorious experience this will be
of Celebrating Jesus Christ and His Birth by reading the program. We pray
for all that come that they will fill the beautiful beginning of The Christmas
Season. One lady we visited is extremely pleased to hear of this
production. She has a depressed
friend and is looking forward to bringing her to the performance. Alli, an Islamic gentleman, told us he
would like to come; then he asked
us if we would come to one of his Islamic Celebrations and we answered with an
excited acceptance. I do hope this
works out.
To all of you I express my love for my Heavenly Father and
His Son Jesus Christ! I know that
Jesus is the Savior of the world and because of His willingness to all He was
asked to do, you and I have the incredible blessing of the Atonement that
enables us to be forgiven for the sins and mistakes we repent of. How incredible!!! I hope all of us can work harder at doing 'all we have been
asked to do' to serve those with whom we are given a stewardship....and love
doing it. I am very grateful Tami and Steevun Lemon lived through a
Trek on the Wyoming plains during winter storms of November 14-16 with Steev's
Young Adult's Ward. Thanks for your letters and emails. Love to hear from all of you I love you all so much and pray for you and your success
daily!
May God be with you and bless you and will you take time to
look for the Miracles that are a part of each day of your lives....and record
them.
Love,
Sister Frame
