Happy New Year!

I am so excited for this new year!
1. Because it is a whole new year: a fresh start!
2. I will spend ALL of 2014 in Alabama serving such wonderful people!

There is a family we have been teaching, (the husband is a member) and we had such a wonderful lesson with them on Saturday! Before, we had invited her to pray before and after she reads the Book of Mormon and last week she told us that as she's been doing it she has realized that it all feels familiar- like she already knew it! I know how important the Book of Mormon is in coming closer to our Saviour Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. I know that as we read it with real intent, the questions we have that we haven't found an answer to will be answered- maybe not through the words, but because of what the spirit will testify to you as you read. If you haven't read the Book of Mormon, you should read it! If you have read it, you should read it again!

Everyone, life is wonderful. And as we continue to get closer to our Father in Heaven who loves us SO INCREDIBLY MUCH, life becomes even more beautiful than it ever has been before.

I love y'all!
