Dear Elder Raven:
We just wanted to share with you that we celebrated Dia de la Candelaria on February 2nd. We had Grandma Joan come over so she could celebrate with us. We watched a YouTube presentation of what that holiday means. We truly felt close to you and the Cardenas Family. We ordered Tamales since that is what you were supposed to bring to the celebration. Your Mom shared the pictures of you and your companion celebrating with them. By the way, YOU LOOK WONDERFUL! I’ll include a couple of the pictures we took.
Our Scripture from the Idaho Meridian Temple Presidency – D&C 8:2, 9:7-8
2 – Yea behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.
7 – Behold you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me.
8 – But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore you shall feel that it is right.
Ponder – What are the obstacles to gaining personal revelation? (Think of Oliver Cowdery)
We had another wonderful FHE with Teniele and her boys and taught them about Jesus coming to Peter in Matthew 4 after Peter had had a devastating night of fishing. Anyway, long story short is that Jesus called Peter to be a “Fisher of men.” We talked about you and how you are literally a “fisher of [people]” in Mexico. The boys were so excited to think about you in this way!!! We discussed how they too could be a good missionary by being kind to their classmates and teachers.
Grandpa is half way done with his radiation treatments. I admire him so much as he never complains but shows great courage and faith as he is going through this trial. He is on course and the doctors say he’s responding as he should. WE LOVE YOU so much, Kyle, and pray for your safety and well-being. I put your name on the prayer roll along with the Cardenas family. Love always and forever, Gpa & Gma Schulthies
"Live well, Laugh often, Love much!"
