Laughter

Rachelle "Rachelitta" Garett

The girl you see in this pic is like the greatest person in the world. She does have her quirks but honestly who doesn't.

So every morning she wakes up laughing and smiling (unless she is on that 7 day cleanse). Then lets just say it aint pretty! And finally after 6 months of being together she gets my sarcasm! Alleuyah

So things I love about her: She is always laughing at my silly jokes or when I tell her I will cut her or shank her... Even tonight when I told her I would push her down the stairs she simply sat there and saw me laugh and cry. Oh man she is a good sport. ( I promise I don't actually go through with it)

Suffice it to say this girl is awesome and always makes me laugh!!! I am glad we are roomies and I am glad she lets me laugh at her expense. She is truly a blessing in my life!

Miracles

Ether 12:12 For if there be no faith among the children of men God can do no miracle among them; wherefore, he showed not himself until after their faith.

When I went home I experienced many wonderful miracles.

After almost 10 years my sister was finally able to enter the Boston LDS Temple to receive her endowments. While life has not been easy for her she always remained faithful and it did not go unnoticed by the Lord. On March 16, 2013, I was able to enter the Temple with my sister and be her escort for her endowment session. I cannot begin to express the joy I felt. I saw the miracles the Lord has poured over her because of her desire to follow him. I was able to see how the Lord was shaping her life and how through her obedience she was given the opportunity to learn more of the Lord and make sacred covenants with him. I will never forget that day!

So last year my big sister "Maggie" and I hit a really rough patch in our relationship. After many years of  misleading information, my sister was finally able to figure out the truth about my past. After I forced her to tell me she finally told me everything I couldn't remember about my past. Despite all the information I had finally acquired I quickly realized that I was not mentally prepared. So instead of going to her for help, I ran away and came back to Utah. With tears in her eyes she explained to me that I had caused her great pain and that she would never open herself up to me ever again. The next day I left. During Christmas break I was able to spend time with a good friend. The whole time there I thought of my family and how much I missed them. My sister in particular. I grew a sudden desire to fix my relationship with her. On our ride back my friend counseled me to pray so that the lord could help me fix the broken relationship I had with my sister. That night I remembered praying. A few months later I wrote my sister and we chatted for a bit and I had a strong feeling I needed to go home. When I arrived to my surprise my sister and I spoke a lot. I came to her for guidance and at one point she said she was glad I was there and gave me a hug. We grew very close in a short time and I remember when I left I just found myself loving her more than ever. What a blessing I thought. The Lord answered my prayer and I got my sister back.


Over all the visit was great! God lives and he listens to our prayers!! I love you all and stay tuned more postings coming soon...

Mormon 9:20-21 "And the reason why he ceaseth to do miracles among the children of men is because that they dwindle in unbelief, and depart from the right way, and know not the God in whom they should trust. Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth."
