(sorry, she was putting the portions for everybody in mom's email and i wasn't aware of it.)
We have been having a lot of wonderful lessons here in Plattsmouth area. The people are hardworking and faithful. Many people of skills here that you would never have guessed people did. We met a couple who built there own log home. It was a HOME too not a cabin really. They hand varnished everything and hand fitted each plank. The husband is an electrician and he has built a few homes. He and his wife had been checking out how to be able to make the best kind of log home for a while and then they just did it. They were so well pleased with their home and the work they did. It was beautiful workmanship too. It reminds me of what I want my life to be like. I want to study and work hard at my life. Find the best way to live and build my life to those standards. So that when the time comes I can look at my home and say" yes I worked hard and it was all well worth it." To do that I have to let the lord guide me in everything. To follow his example through everything. It isn't easy and some times I know I could do it better but I know it will be worth it. That's what we share out here in Nebraska or in any mission. We share to whom people can turn to to help make there lives better. I am grateful to be here. Thank you for all your prayers and helping support the missionary work. It won't be easy but in the end I can promise you it will be worth it.
