I miss my mission! What can I say? My brother is researching videographers for his upcoming wedding and he stumbled on this that one of them had done. He sent it to me and I loved listening to the youth testify and talk. Sadly to say, I am loosing my Russian...
This is wonderful, ENJOY! Especially you missionaries that served there!

I believe in Eternal Families
I happened to turn the TV on yesterday when this woman, Rahna Reiko Rizzuto, was being interviewed on the Today Show. I absolutely COULD NOT BELIEVE what I was hearing!
This woman had an opportunity to go to Japan for six months and her husband encouraged her to take advantage of that. He would come out to visit with their two boys and then they would come home and resume their lifestyle.
That isn't what happened. Instead she came home and divorced her husband and left their two children. She said something that made me gasp out loud. If she hadn't gone to Japan and had "opened her eyes" and hadn't left her family, she said, "It might have taken me many years to say, woe, I did that thing that I didn't want to do which was give up my life for someone else."
WOW! That is the epitome of selfishness. Watch the video below, it is unbelievable people are justifying her actions and that her book is up for awards.
I know without any doubt that families are essential in our Heavenly Father's plan. I know that we can be together for ever and that in order to do so we need to give our marriages and our children our very best, our all, and ourselves.
Is it hard? - yes, it's hard. I have had long days when I don't think Arrie's bed time will ever come, but it does and I get to rest. But I am a wife and a mother first and foremost. I love Braden and Arrie more than I can comprehend and I wouldn't give them up for the world. I know that our Heavenly Father won't give us any challenge in life that we cannot bare. He is always there to help us.
I hope that there is not a single women out there that will allow what this woman has said to stand as a positive example to them.
