MY LITTLE CLOWNS

This string of photos makes me happy:

can you say HAPPY??!!

Such a glorious day today! 

Boys got baptized!!!!!!!

IT.WAS.AMAZING.

It's been a struggle lately to feel the Spirit. This today...my batteries are now fully charged! I needed this! And it truly was special! Normally baptisms are done on Saturdays (at least here they are). But we wanted Elders Anderson and Matson to perform it and since there was a Zone conference today (Thursday), president Hill suggested we do it today so those two nicest missionaries wouldn't have to travel twice. 

I tell you, 35 missionaries present at the baptism = magic!

And even boys' father came with his...girlfriend.

And my sweet little monsters drove me absolutely nuts until the program started...but once it started they were just awesome! They sat peacefully, sang, listened....they looked adorable in their little white suites!

Everyone was SO happy! Lidija and Zveki gave amazing talks, just perfect for kids. 

This sweet lady is Zveki. LOVE her!

It was impossible not to feel the Spirit!

And I tell you...having 35 missionaries, a mission president and a branch president, all present...quite an honor!

currently loving...

These babies have been my best friends over the past month!

I LOVE; LOVE; LOVE that sweet, juicy, healing insides!

I am also totally and completely in love with this little awesomeness!

{still need to change the pics, I know...working on it!!}...and another trivia - this frame speaks to me - whenever I look at it, it says ANGIE - it is so her...and I love her and her style - love it!

And then there is this sweet girl - a delicious skinny thing, someone I love dearly!

Well, it's a beautiful, sunny day today - and something pretty big is about to happen tomorrow! 

How exciting!

With Spirit I Am Happy

So...do you know THOSE days?? The days when you feel WORTHLESS. 

I do.

The heartache is gigantic. Overwhelming. 

Well, I found a cure! 

Actually, 

like a sick, stubborn child - I was "fed" the medicine 

{thnx, my lovely, caring older brother Spirit}

I have a friend. We never really talk, all we do is smile to each other while in church on Sundays. I LOVE her! She is sweet, kind, caring. I'll call her - E!

E has been around <The Curch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints> for a while...much longer then I. 

She is faithful and strong. 

She is not a member-YET

Few months ago she asked me how did I decide to get baptized. 

I gave a very lame testimony. 

Two days ago, after wrapping up my work, I laid down in my bed, looking at the sky {ceiling}...just thinking of - nothing! 

My lovely friends! 

A thought appeared in my mind out of nowhere - write to E! She is still waiting for a decent answer! 

Instantly, I was in front of my computer again, typing. 

Within 2 minutes I had an email composed - I just wrote and wrote...

...words, sentences, testimonies...

flooded my computer screen...

I typed

Spirit dictated

I sent that email. 

Soon enough she replied.

She cried. 

She was truly touched.

She shared with me her concernds.

The reasons why she is not baptized yet

I replied

And I was 

HAPPY

I listened to the little voice

I shared my testimony

I talked about Gospel

And all of the sudden, the world was no longer COLD and DARK place

It was 

BRIGHT

   WARM

       HAPPY

          LOVING

               JOYOUS

I reached out to help someone...and in the process, I helped myself! Magic formula I guess!

Thank YOU my beloved FATHER

Thank YOU for the gift of the SPIRIT

Thank YOU for your guidance

Thank YOU for your LOVE

Thank YOU for the little FAITH I have in YOU

Thank YOU for all the FAITH YOU have in ME

{it takes a lot of FAITH to send someone to talk to your precious CHILD}

Thank you for making me think about everything I have to be grateful for.

Being stubborn as I am

I am sure I will dwell into cold and dark places again.

Thank you right now for what YOU will do for me every time I wonder off in the future.

I KNOW YOU will NEVER abandon me

I PRAY that I will NEVER abandon YOU

YOU are just a PRAYER away!
