Sister Elizabeth Rex: RUN

Week 26 - October 26, 2020

3rd time's the charm, Sister Ferrell and I are BACK AGAIN, from home MTC to Hiram to our last transfer in Kirtland this hilarious woman has been by my side. "We either did something terribly right or terribly wrong" hahaha

We're always running but where we're running varies, sometimes:

•to tours

•from the cold

•to put my footprint in cement

•towards the occasional sun

•to our movie night(s)

•away from our scary cellar

•ALWAYS running to our morning meetings, now that we have to conduct them we can't sneak in the back fashionably late

•and, my favorite, to bed!!!

We gave some of my absolute favorite people tours this week: some old friends, some complete strangers and some people who are on date to be baptized!! No matter how many times we've walked through these buildings, sharing these stories, they never cease to amaze me. There is a different and sweet spirit with each tour, fine tuning our words to carry what people need to hear and feel! The experiences of the early saints are so applicable to us, RUN (virtually) OVER TO KIRTLAND, I leave this place in 2 weeks:(

"Responding to true love is part of our very being. We innately desire to reconnect with the love we have felt..." We are drawn to love, just like we are drawn to safe places. My eyes have been opened to people who don't have safe places to run to, but they have made themselves a safe place that people are drawn to. What can you do to become a safe place where people know they can come to be loved?

The light of Christ is in each one of us. We have heavenly roots that desire to return to their heavenly home, LET THAT LIGHT SHINE AND GROW

Love big! Love hard!
