Web Links from Alicia
Greetings, Dad!
I was reading through Holly's letter, and thought you could add the following
link(s) to her letters! Humm, I wonder if I should get ambitious enough to
link all the Church leaders she mentions in her letters too? From the
beginning, your introduction
note could show the Orlando, Florida mission information at
http://www.mission.net/cgi-bin/mission_index.cgi?id=697. Oh, and let's
not forget where she entered the MTC :
http://www.mtc.byu.edu/!
And she also mentioned (Letters/31008mtc.htm) her MTC sister missionary missions were the SLC (http://www.mission.net/cgi-bin/mission_index.cgi?id=506) and Edmonton, Canada (http://www.mission.net/cgi-bin/mission_index.cgi?id=696). All three missions are mentioned several times in this letter and the next one (10/12/03).
In letter Letters/31012mtc.htm, at the end she refers to "a talk given by Elder M. Russell Ballard called 'The Greatest Generation of Missionaries.'", which can be linked here.
Then the two scriptures can be found for Mosiah 2:7 http://scriptures.lds.org/mosiah/2#17 and D&C 58:26-28 http://scriptures.lds.org/dc/58#26.
And found on Letters/31016mtc.htm, she refers to Bruce Hafen's books, which I think are the ones found at http://deseretbook.com/authors/author-info?author_id=8206. And then 3 Nephi can be read from http://scriptures.lds.org/3_ne/contents.
I wonder if the devotional mentioned in
Letters/31019mtc.htm can be
read in a few weeks at
http://speeches.byu.edu/, what do you
think? And John 3:16 is at
http://scriptures.lds.org/john/3#16
Then a new sister moves in (Letters/31023mtc.htm) and a new mission for Independence, Missouri (http://www.mission.net/cgi-bin/mission_index.cgi?id=59) is introduced. Oh, and that "Obedience is the price" quote that I chased around the internet for two hours can be best seen at http://speeches.byu.edu/devo/2000-01/BatemanW01.html.
Humm, personal mental note: Comment from Letters/31026mtc.htm on how a spiritual battery is a good example, but I wonder if a spiritual generator might not be a tad more accurate word instead for the "for use of the battery will recharge it, especially as we study." Ah, another scripture Alma chapter 26 verse 30 http://scriptures.lds.org/alma/26#30. And what a great recommendation for The Testaments http://www.lds.org/events/info/0,8197,726-1-373,00.html! Would you consider having our family attend for a Home Evening one week?
Humm, I suppose I could link all the Utah Valley spots she mentions in Letters/31027orlando.htm, but I don't really think that advertisement would be productive. *G* Does anyone really want to be reminded of SLC airport, or I-15?
And Letters/31029MisnPres.htm letter from the Presidency mentions the Mission (http://www.mission.net/cgi-bin/mission_index.cgi?id=697) again of course.
Letters/31103ladylake.htm talks about another CD coming out in Ensign December 2003 titled Joy To The World, but I couldn't see a link right off at www.lds.org. Sorry! When it does get to our home, I would very much enjoy it if that was another Family Home Evening spent together. How about a Sunday showing, with missionary letter-writing afterwards? Another last reminder to self: APT 310 is in another building at Carriage Cove, and another BYU ward...
Thank you yet again for taking the time to post all her letters on CrystalOak for everyone to enjoy!! If I can ever help on the typing end, please let me know! (Were you going to post a transcript of Holly's tape online?) Was there just the new letter from yesterday to post, or has she sent any other letters since 11/3/03? I truly am excited to read her letters, as each one is filled with her personal testimony and I know what a blessing it will be to meet with any of those who have touched her through her experience.
Thank you again, Daddy.
Loves and loves,
Alicia Neibaur
