This plan

Hey every beautiful member of my blessed family!I love you. This week has been so insane. Two days ago, Sister Benfield got emergency transferred to Tallahassee because one of the sisters there is going home because of health....the sister missionaries are dropping like flies! Now It's me & Sister Furner again.So many miracles have been unfolding here. Heavenly Father wants us to be successful & happy.We are teaching a guy from China named Joe. He's 39, christian, and working on his MBA. At first, we thought we might have to stop teaching him or pass him over to the elders because he had a crush on me....but, I prayed and he seemed to get over it! I love prayer. So, Joe came to Conference during the 1st session where there was so much sustaining going on..he was confused. He thought when Pres. Uchtdorf was reading of all the names, that he was actually preaching something in french..haha Anyways, We found out later that he had a very spiritual experience during the MoTab singing " Praise to the Man". He said It felt like, "a huge breath of fresh air, the air was so fresh"...(he doesn't have big english vocab. & that is the best he could describe it.) He said He'd never felt that in any other church ever. Also when we were teaching him, he said he knew it was important to pray to find out if Joseph Smith truly was a prophet. He said He would pray that night. We explained to him that Joseph Smith had been murdered...he was so shocked! He said that it must have been because he was true...he said that Jesus Christ was true and that He was killed for it and that it gave him more reason to believe that Joseph was a prophet. He said he'd keep reading and praying 'til he got an answer!!I wish I could tell you how great this beautiful work is here. I love it with all my heart. There is a marvelous work and a wonder that Father has done and is doing. I am so grateful beyond all I am that I know of His plan for us. Many call it the Plan of Salvation or the Plan of Happiness. I call it my plan or the plan that helps me to understand, the plan that shows me and my family, my friends the way. I know that we lived with Him and we knew Him, why it is we are here in these frail bodies of clay, that there is a direction, a purpose, a meaning, and work for us...an eternity. I can say that through the feelings of the Holy Ghost that I know that I will be with my Grandpa again because I know this plan is true. I know where he is, where he's going, where I am , and where I am going. I know what that scripture in Corinthians 15 means where it talks about the glory of the sun and moon! Oh beautiful day, that I can say these things! Oh I just wish I could put it into the hearts of all just to contemplate it!!! It is the truth, the added light, the clarification. This is His work and His Glory!!!I love my Father for all of this, just to bring me peace inside.Dearest Sarah, my heart aches for you at this time. I've asked all around me to pray in your behalf. I love you so much and you will not be left alone. Oh I wish that I could be there at this time. I loved your grandma, such a kind soul. Please picture me there with you right now. That is where I would be. It is so hard to have to write this instead of speak it. Feel the prayers, the many prayers that are being sent, heard, and answered for you and your grandma and your mother.Again I love you. For now, I must rely upon my dear family and our dear Father in Heaven to be your support where I cannot. I know you will be taken care of. I am here for you no matter what. I want you to know that! It is so hard to not be there. Love BonniePlease everyone pray for Sarah and Elisabeth
