Special Letter

A few weeks after Kamber passed away I was having an extremely hard time with all that has happened. This day I fell to my knees and prayed out loud crying to Heavenly Father. I was impressed to write a letter to President Monson. I second guessed myself, Did I really hear what I thought I heard. It came again, Write a letter. I was still so nervous, I thought "Do you realize what you are asking me to do? This is the prophet of the church, he is busy and there are many people in my situation, he's not going to want to hear from me." The words that I should write came flowing into my head. I went to the computer and started writing as tears flowed down my face. The letter sat on my desk for about 2 weeks, I was scared to send it out. I spoke to my bishop of what happened and he told me "Sometimes we don't understand why we are to do somethings, but we are lead by the spirit. It can be a little scary, but I know it is important to follow through." So I did and I sent the letter off. For the past week I have been anxious to see if he would respond. This morning I went to the mail box and there it was. Return address Salt Lake City directed to Mr. and Mrs. Ethan Larsen. My heart started pounding so hard and excitement over came my body. I can't believe he responded. I went home and Ethan and I read the letter together. A peace came over me and I could really feel his love for my family and I. He really does care about all the members of the church and I know he is called of God. What a neat experience for Ethan and I. Another way for us to feel the comforting arms of our Saviors love. I can't wait to show my girls the letter and they may see the love Heavenly Father and the prophet of the church has for our family. I am thankful for the gospel and for all the prophets of the church especially Joseph Smith. He restored the church to the earth and I'm forever grateful for that.
