Dad: What is the most unusual thing
you have eaten so far?
Uh...a pig's stomach lining
Dad: What is the funniest thing that
has happened this week?
I can't think of anything funny, but
the coolest thing that happened was that we beet the record for
snowfall! We got more snowfall this year in Anchorage since like
1950 I think.
Dad: "By small and simple
things, are great things brought to pass." How have you
witnessed the hand of the Lord through small or great means this
week?
We keep just being in the right place
at the right time. I know it's nothing I'm doing, but the Lord keeps
taking us to people that need us. We have some church dvd's that
have a Samoan language option and this less active man loves them.
He doesn't understand English very well, but he loves these dvd's in
Samoan. We can see how virtue is starting to garnish the thoughts of
everyone in the home as good uplifting media fills it.
Dad: What did Easter mean to you
this year?
I like how it's not so much that he
died, but that he lives. It nice and good that he suffered for us,
but if he wouldn't have risen on the third day none of it would have
mattered. It would have been a nice thought, but it wouldn't have
changed anything. I know that He lives and loves us, and it's
because He lives that we too will live. And if we are faithful we
will not only live again, but live with Him again enjoying the same
peace and joy that He does. Because of the Infinite mercy of the
Atonement all our losses will be made up and more, so I feel selfish
not being happy with my lot in life because I do have a good life. I
have a family who loves me. I have a roof over my head. I have
endless potential and opportunity ahead. But most importantly I know
that I am a child of God with the potential to become like him and to
help others do the same.
Love, Elder Record
