I love you :) another week has come and gone. this week was rough but that's ok...i wore your poncho and sprayed some cologne on it so that i could sleep good :) we are gonna have a problem when you get back...i'm not gonna want to give all your clothes back to you...i hope you're ok with that ;) i have been lighting the candles a lot lately if that tells you anything, i just miss you! School is not getting any better. I literally think i have ADD now, because trying to sit down and do homework is the hardest thing in the world, i get distracted after 3 minutes. I don't know what to do...and i will probably have to retake O chem.... :( sad day. I have never been so worried about my grades...remember when i was smart? haha you are going to come home and say, "lou what happened?!?" ha 
Anyways enough about that. I would like you to know that i have read my scriptures for a whole month now! I try to read them in the morning but sometimes i don't have time so i read them when i get home. It has been good though :) 
quote! "Do not mock a pain that you haven't endured" -unknown. I really love this. I think sometimes we look at what other people are going through lightly, like we think , oh that's not bad, they should get over it. But we never truly know how they are feeling until we experience the same thing. A trial that we may think looks easy might be devastating to the person living with it. So just remember that with the people you are teaching, life is hard, just give them something to enjoy about it :)
I'll be honest klay...life isn't fun right now. :( And i don't want you to worry, i'll be ok. But just pray for me k? please. I need your prayers more than anything. I love you! work hard this week
love lou

i'm sorry that things aren't going so hot little one, but trust me that the things will turn out for your good. remember that the lord must test and try us. try your best and i know that the lord will help you through. work your guts out to pass and eat healthily so that your body can be calm. remember that your knowledge has progressed either way. the most important part isn't the fact that you pass or fail but that you take the benefit out of it to bless our little children. i don't care if you have a fancy job or if you make us a lot of money, i worry about our creation and standpoint with God. search in your classes for ways to bless our family and you will find that you will be able to concentrate much more. it will be a pleasant study as i do with the scriptures. i study yes for the investigators, but so that i can really dig in deep to the scriptures, i apply it first to my own family. i write down all the little things on the sides of my scriptures. if you don't find anything to bless the little ones, then just remember that your education in this field will at least bless them temporally haha. but lace, don't stress, 

5 If thou art called to pass through tribulation; if thou art in perils among false brethren; if thou art in perils among robbers;if thou art in perils by land or by sea;

 6 If thou art accused with all manner of false accusations; ifthine enemies fall upon thee; if they tear thee from the society ofthy father and mother and brethren and sisters; and if with adrawn sword thine enemies tear thee from the bosom of thywife, and of thine offspring, and thine elder son, although but sixyears of age, shall cling to thy garments, and shall say, My father,my father, why can’t you stay with us? O, my father, what arethe men going to do with you? and if then he shall be thrust fromthee by the sword, and thou be dragged to prison, and thineenemies prowl around thee like wolves for the blood of the lamb;

 7 And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands ofmurderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thoube cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee;if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gatherblackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way;and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouthwide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shallgive thee experience, and shall be for thy good.

 8 The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thougreater than he?

i love you bugga. i will keep writing you in a minute, but know that all will be for thy good. the Lord truly knows how you feel seeming that he also had to learn all things as stated in hebrews five

 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest;but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have Ibegotten thee.

 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for everafter the order of Melchisedec.

 7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayersand supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that wasable to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

 8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the thingswhich he suffered;

 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

he had to learn line upon line precept upon precept and received not perfection at first as stated by john the beloved in doctrine and covenants. How could HE be a perfect example if HE didnt have to learn everything as well? HE started off with nothing as any other child but remained in the presence of HIS Father because HE submitted HIMself continually and never offended the spirit. i testify of Christ, i have come to know HIM. HE has shown me HIS ways and i strive to follow them. HE is my perfect example because not even HE was perfect, but perfected in GOD. LINE UPON LINE PRECEPT UPON PRECEPT UNTIL THE PERFECT DAY. HERE A LITTLE AND THERE A LITTLE. GRACE UPON GRACE UNTIL WE MAY SEE HIS EVER POWERFUL HANDS REST UPON OUR CHEEKS TO BRUSH OFF THE TEARS. i love you lou. work hard. follow the example of Christ. Grace upon GRACE. i love you like mad man :) hehe. be happy baby girl! look for the song that says. . .in the middle of the night, i go walking in my sleep . . .and learn the lyrics and scream it haha. it always made me laugh and calm down. lace, what i see is that you need to sit down in a room alone, and have a three minute spree of deep belly laughter :) try it and see if it doesnt work . . .it releases happy hormones. . . :) love you but. push hard for them okay? tell me what you think of the invention aight? i need comments, we will make it together okay? okay. . .then we wont need studies cuz we will be FILTHY able to pay tithing :) hehe. love ya BUGGA! you are my hero. here is my CHEER! have it i tied it in a bow!
