View from the Mission Mansion and the port!
"Well I finally did it. Here is my story. They made me write it. I
have been in the mission home for 2 days now and I am feeling much
better. I received a blessing last night from President Tanner and I didn't have any nightmares last night :) Don't worry about me people I am
doing great!"
I LOVE YOU ALL :) HAVE A GREAT WEEK
Sister Kramz
I want to close this with
my testimony. Typhoon Yolanda is over now but this experience is in no way over
for me yet, I don’t know how long I will have to struggle through this but I
know that it is all for my benefit and I pray that Heavenly Father will help me
learn everything I need to from this. I know that this experience will forever
affect my life. I learned a lot while writing my story and although it was
really hard and I tried really hard to get out of it, it was good. It helped me
recognize all my blessing and all the miracles I witnessed throughout
this experience and how thankful I am for them. I have said this before and I
will say it again, I would not change this for the world. I have learned so
much about myself and my relationship with my Heavenly Father has become
stronger. I have learned to truly trust Him and rely on Him for EVERYTHING. I
know that my journey isn’t over yet and I don’t know if it ever will be but I
know that I can’t do it without and Him and I know that I don’t have to. I know
that Heavenly Father loves me and He loves you. Never forget that. Bad things
happen but he will never forsake us.
29 Take
my ayoke upon
you, and blearn of me;
for I am cmeek anddlowly in eheart: and ye
shall find frest unto
your souls.
30 For
my yoke is aeasy, and my
burden is light.
Matthew
11:28-30
My favorite scripture right now, I know that I can come unto
my Savior and that I can find rest. I am also loving this song Mercies in
Disguise.
"Blessings"We pray for blessings, we pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
And all the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your word is not enough
And all the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not,
This is
not our home
It's not our home
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise
It's not our home
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise
I can’t fully see it yet but I needed this and I am thankful
for it. I know that Heavenly Father knows what I can handle and what I can do
and he won’t give me anything I can’t overcome. I know that He answers prayers.
I know that Our Savior Jesus Christ died for each and every one of us and He
knows exactly how I feel. I am thankful for this opportunity that I have to
represent him here in The Philippines. I
am thankful for my mission and I would not want to be anywhere else no matter
how hard. I know that all of this is true and the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints is true. TanangibilannakosangalanniJesuKristo, Amen.
