Love & patience

Elder Marvin J. Ashton is amazing. Every talk I have read by him has been especially awesome :) I highly recommend his "FamilyCommunications" talk it has helped my companionship so very much :) Jones Stephens wrote, "I have learned that the head does not hear anything until the heart has listened, and that what the heart knows today the head will understand tomorrow."

I pray our Heavenly Father will help us to communicate more effectively in the home through a willingness to sacrifice, a willingness to listen, a willingness to vocalize feelings, a willingness to avoid judgment, a willingness to maintain confidences, and a willingness to practice patience. "How forcible are right words!" (Job 6:25.) Yes, how forcible are right words shared at the right moment with the right person.

May our gracious and kind Heavenly Father help us in our needs and desires for more effective family communication. Communication can help build family unity if we will work at it and sacrifice for it. For this goal, I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.  (Family Communications)

I know that what Elder Marvin J. Ashton taught can help everyone, for he is a man who teaches after the manner of Christ. We can always grow in our love, faith, and other capacities with the Savior's teachings. Following him improves the quality of our lives.

Pray with your whole soul for others. We must. In good days, in bad days, in so so days. All days. Doing so will make all days miraculous. Even if it's not easier, it's better!!

You're in my prayers, I love you all dearly

With love to eternity & beyond!

Remember who you are,
Sister White

P.S. We are teaching the coolest people, and our bishop is incredible!!!!!
