Story: I'm Right Here
Our daughter and her family were here visiting for a few days and on the last day, early in the morning before they went home little three-year-old Max came running down the hall with a big grin on his face he ran to me shouting "Grandma, Grandma, I'm right here!!!!" He knew I would want to see him❤️

As I pondered on this precious event I thought of how much we all want to return to Our Father in heaven and say Father, Father, I'm right here!

Because we know he is anxiously awaiting our return, we know he will be happy to see us.

Father in heaven, I pray I may make choices that will allow me to exclaim, "Father, I'm right here!!!"

Dear father in Heaven, I am thankful for medication (without that we wouldn't even be here on her Mission) .

In addition to that I worked hard to get electronic Christmas letters out, mailing Christmas letters and we had Jonathan come out right. Oh, those to eat and Jason open for dinner

The first real Mentor I can think of besides my mom and dad was Georgia Mills. He was my Young Womens teacher. We had class and her home and every time we came she had some kind of handout an object lesson to teach us.

When it was our birthday she made a cake just for us and she promised us girls that if we got married in the temple she would make our wedding cake. Dan and I were married March 19th 1976 Georgia was true to her word. She made a 5 tier cake topped with barbies dressed like me and my brideesmaids

. She was there for our wedding and for many more talks. Thanks Georgia

.....
For our last Light the world challenge this year we were asked to share how Jesus has blessed our lives.

When I think of this I think of my first real true prayer as a 4 year old. I had an experience at I will forever remember when I prayed a quiet prayer so I wouldn't be heard by my parents when I felt the words "thou shalt speak louder". Since then I have tried to pray more clearly and hsve a meaningful relationship with my father and I have found that when I feel close to my Father in heaven I also feel close to my brother Jesus Christ since we are all family.

They have been there creative power of the Holy Ghost during my deepest moments of depression and my greatest moments of joy.

I am so thankful for them in my life. I truly feel they have walked beside me and blessed me with their quiet strength and love
