Weeks 35 and 36 - May 11, 2020

С ДНЁМ ​​МАТЕРИ❗🤱🏼❗👸🏼❗
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY ❗🎉❗🎊❗

This email goes out to all the mothers, daughters, aunts, grandmas, and any other women out there!!  But most specifically, MY mother!! 😁❤.  She is the best one there is!! 🙌🏼🥇🙌🏼

I would first like to say, firmly, Brothers and Sisters, never take mothers for granted.  They are a priceless gift from God. A gift of which we should all be eternally grateful and try to show our gratitude for each and everyday.

I am so thankful for my Mom!  She has truly helped me become who am I am today (and if you don't like me... well, then that is pretty awkward) haha jokes jokes. 

She has, also, done an "alright" job on my three other brothers!  Haha more jokes more jokes.  

She has done amazing things, does amazing things, and continues to do amazing things.  In short, she's amazing!  Everyday I came home from school, she was there, ready to talk to me about anything and everything.  She has always had the most bright, uplifting, outgoing personality and attitude, which has clearly helped me and other people throughout life.  She has had numerous dance-offs with me, joined in on numerous laughs, and our relationship is filled with numerous stories.  My list for reasons for loving and being grateful for her can go on and on.  I think it would max out on the word count before I could finish 😁😂.  

I am so thankful for her example, and for my Heavenly Father sending me to a home with such a great mother who is completely capable of dealing with all my nonsense 😁😂.  I wish I could go back and have spent even more time with her and the rest of my family.  She, and they, are the best.  Love you Mom/Queen Wilde!! ❤👑❤

Attached to this email is a talk given by an Apostle from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Elder Jeffery R. Holland.  He talks about motherhood and its sacred calling.  I encourage you all to watch/give it a listen!!  I have picked out a few powerful lines from his talk and listed them below.  The women of this world have truly been given an incredibly sacred responsibility.  God is with you every step of the way to help fulfill that responsibility, especially when things seem hard.  We look up to you, admire you, and love you.  Thank you!! ❤❤❤

Because She is a Mother

• "Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones."

• "You can’t possibly do this alone, but you do have help.  The Master of Heaven and Earth is there to bless you."

• "Yours is the work of salvation, and therefore you will be magnified, compensated, made more than you are and better than you have ever been as you try to make honest effort, however feeble you may sometimes feel that to be."

• "You are doing God’s work.  You are doing it wonderfully well.  He is blessing you and He will bless you, even—no, especially—when your days and your nights may be the most challenging."

• "The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you."

• "If you and your husband will strive to love God and live the gospel yourselves; if you will plead for that guidance and comfort of the Holy Spirit promised to the faithful; if you will go to the temple to both make and claim the promises of the most sacred covenants a woman or man can make in this world; if you will show others, including your children, the same caring, compassionate, forgiving heart you want heaven to show you; if you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do."

Sincerely,

Elder Wilde
