Being late means more than you think!

2 pages. 2 full pages. Yes, that is what the new person we are teaching, Rich, handed us when we walked into his house yesterday at 6:10 rather than 6 for our appointment. What was contained in those pages you may ask? Only 7 different definitions for the word late. Hey, it feels good to be so wanted for once. Rich is a blessing we've received this week and after just two meetings he is our new favorite. He already gave all of us occupations and told me that I'm going to be a teacher because apparently when I talk everyone listens up. He is hilarious and honest in the best way.

   Favorite quote from church yesterday: "To love another person is to see the face of God" (from Les Miz)

   Actually as much as I love that quote, my FAVORITE favorite comes from the little boy that walked past us holding his dad's hand on their way to the little boy's room : "Well dad, it looks like it's just you and me!" I love children. 

I don't have time to write today, but it's okay,I'll make up for it by reading letters from all of you. right? Write? please! Call me old fashioned, but i love letters.

Thought from this week: Belief is a very very important and precious word. But in order to truly exercise belief, we must do some work to get there. If you don't plant strawberries, none will grow. We must decide what we want to change in order to put forth the necessary work to make that happen. When we do all we can to make changes in our lives, God will see our willingness and make up for what we never could do ourselves. so I just encourage you all this week to believe in the impossible, and change something in your life! God's love is real, as is the atonement of Jesus Christ. 

Love always,

Sister Pearson

P.S. I love the scripture 2 Nephi 4:27-28. Read it!
