Dear Family and Friends,
This week, Thursday evening, May 22, I got a call from President Bernhisel. He told me that Emmett got his mission call. I must be really special! The President called me personally. I didn't even have to wait half a week to hear that Emmett had gotten his call. I don't know how I got so lucky. He is going to Boston, Massachusetts. What fun.
I don't know what to write. I don't know what to say. I guess I should just say what I am thinking. I am so thankful that we have another missionary in the Spirit World. I am thankful that I know that Maria only left one mission and was transferred to another. It was a transfer home. I wish I could offer solace to everyone, but what can one little 20-year old do? Plus, I know you are all strong, faithful people who love the Lord and already know that it is part of His plan. You already know that the Lord is there for strength. You know that you can do anything with His help. Thank you for being my examples. Thank you for loving me. This has been one of my favorite videos in the last five years. http://www.mormonchannel.org/mormon-channel-daily/213?v=1839005837001
One of my favorite lines is "Thank you for loving me enough to hurt me." I forget that sometimes. Maybe sometimes I am showing my love when I hurt people. Just kidding! That just sounds bad. Pretend I did not say that. But, the only way we are going to grow is if we are cut down and given the chance to regrow. I need to be cut down some more. I guess I do my companion and injustice when I don't want to offer correction because I know it will hurt her. Don't worry; I won't go off this week just giving her correction the entire time. I know that would just be digging up the roots. Thank you for loving me enough to hurt me. I love all y'all. Have a good week. Have hope.
Voyo con Dios,
Sister Turley
P.S. That is what Grandpa said to me. He is teaching me Spanish.
