"I just burst into tears."

Here is Morgan's letter from yesterday! It is short, but sweet. She is surely being taken care of. Thanks for all the prayers in behalf of the missionaries. We know they work!

If you're reading this, you are her friend somehow, and I am wondering if you all would do me a little favor. Morgan's 21st birthday is next Thursday, the 16th. If you have just even a second, would you send her a quick Happy Birthday message?!? I think it would mean a lot to her to hear from each of you. SHE WILL BE ONLINE ON TUESDAY SO IT WILL HAVE TO BE BEFORE TUESDAY!


Her email address is morgan.oliphant@myldsmail.net. I believe if you click on that address it would open a new email for you automatically and should be fairly simple.

She is finished with her mission on the 30th of this month. She is feeling the twangs of pain of leaving these Guatemalan people that she loves so much. She is so happy and loves what she is doing.

Thanks for your help! I appreciate any of you who can just drop her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY message. But no pressure!!!

Hello,

HAPPY EASTER!! Hope you had an awesome day!!

So did you get to hear conference? I emailed you the part that I thought you would love the most, in case you didn't hear it. About President Brough. I hope you got that email from me from earlier this morning.

Also, President Pingree got called to be an area 70 and also Spencer's mission President Peterson, from Ogden, also an area 70. WOW. I think a guy your dad went to school with also was called, but not sure on that one. Name is the same, but there could be more than one of them.

So cool!!

Anyway. I hope you loved conference. I hope you got to see it. I hope you are safe and happy. I hope you have had good luck this week. Did Luis come to conference. You said you thought he would.

Luis didnt come but the guy from Russia, Edward did show up and the husband of a member that we didnt know wasnt a member. so that was cool. I absolutely loved conference. i received so much guidance and so many answers. I absolutely am sad that it is over but grateful it happened!

Your "climbing Mount Rushmore" was funny. Is that really the name of it? Not funny that she wasn't there, but just the way you talk about it was funny. Did you have more contact with the boy you found there yet? The "17 year old future missionary", I think you called him.

Its not really called that but it feels like it. hahaha we havent found him yet but its because he left out of town for the week. EVERYONE LEAVES THE WEEK OF SEMANA SANTA. it is ridiculous, but we will find him this week.

I am glad you got to hear the RS session. That is good. 
The ropes course, I'm glad you were cautious. Hopefully the other missionaries understood. Nothing wrong with staying safe, and unhurt!!

Tell us everything. How you are doing, etc. I am worried about you. 

We love you Morgan. I put your name in the temple. I went on Monday. Know that many people are praying for you. Many prayed for you during conference. I noticed how many included the missionaries in their prayers.

Take care of Morgan! Tell us everything.
Love you, Mom

PS Jenny Ellsworth is getting married 6 days for before you get home.
and
If I can, in the morning, I will add some Easter photos of the family for you. Oh, you would be so proud, I made cinnamon rolls this morning. I can't wait to do it again. It was fun. That pic is on here so I can share that one now.

THE MIRACLE OF THE DAY.
So remember when i was san lucas toliman and we had emergency changes, well they closed the area until this past change and they put in new sisters. Ok, now we have to remember back in Patulul when we were teaching Pablo and he had his interview and that night went and drank....ok well today in my last zone training ever, the sisters from san lucas toliman came running to me and said HERMANA OLIPHANT WE HAVE GOOD NEWS. they said, WE FOUND PABLO! I just burst into tears. He is there in san lucas with his other sister and he has his baptism date for the 19th of April. i cant explain to you how happy i am. It is such a miracle. I know that GODS PLAN IS PERFECT. He just needed a little time, and now 7 months later, about an hour from where we taught him and got to know him, he is prepared and he will be baptized. I know it. I WISH I COULD BE THERE. but he told the girls there everything and how much he really is ready this time. they told me he is going to send me something next week with a note...and i am just so excited for him. I dont even care that he didnt get baptized when i was there with him, i am just grateful that he is getting baptized now. I TRUST IN GODS PLAN.

MIRACLE OF THE WEEK.
These past couple days I have been dealing with back and stomach pain. Monday the back pain moved to the side...right where it always hurts when i get my kidney stone problems. WELL...during the day it got worse and worse and the nausea also got worse...as we got home from district p day at the lake it was almost unbearable again. i just started to cry because i didnt want to deal with it again...at least not right now. I got down on my knees and poured my heart out to my father in heaven. About how i want to be able ot give my ALL these last weeks. I asked him, if it was his will, to take the pain away, and if not, that i would deal with it and still give my all. I dont think i have ever received an answer so quickly, but i got up from my knees and the pain was GONE. absolutely gone. I feel completely normal. It was such a miracle to me and such a testimony of the love of my father in heaven and the fact that he does listen. I have a testimony of prayer.

Ok, well i don't have much time left, but i will write more next week. Know that i am well. My heavenly father is blessing me, and he is aware of me and that is all that matters. I know that to be true. We are trying to work with the members here to find more people who are ready, and i know we will see more miracles.

LOVE YOU EACH!!!
Hermana Oliphant
