2. I love the words to this song, I can so relate.

3. I cannot name a single way in which I am like the Savior as yet. I still don’t wear his image in my countenance after all of this time. Lainie, I hope that no one else comes in here and reads this comment but you. Remember how we talked about how the miracle must happen at Christmastime.

   I’m struggling like never before. Today, I was asked to bear my testimony in the Temple. It didn’t come easy. There is something in my life that’s missing, and I must find what it is, unless it’s simply that I don’t trust the ATONEMENT. He hung there and died a terrible, excruciating death for me, and I walk around each day unsure about my life. I walk into the Temple of my God, and walk out again, when I’m promised that all of my sins are forgiven when I but serve there one day.

   And today I took Johnnie’s name, as Luis helped me make it Templeworthy last night, so I have her card.
   Now I must find a way to have her baptized as soon as possible. She died in 2005. I’ve made her wait so long.

   Luis has learned how to do the new program, and he’s going to teach me, staring TOMORROW, instead of watching that stupid tube. I have so many, many names that are stacked up and begging to be made ready. It’s so easy now that they can be done at home, and taken directly to the temple…and the pick and blue cards handed to you straight away. Luis is so excited to be doing his family’s work more extensively at last.

   So, what am I dragging around about. And just where is the source of these negative feelings? Where does all negative stuff come from? Answer me that? I’ll answer it. I know it. Why do i let it continue to influence me, even to the temple door. All I know is, I had better get a handle on it.

   Question to you…Have I give you any more names? If I do, do you think you can get to the temple,,,even once a month? I can take the names to you this summer, rather than send them in the mail. I don’t like to do that.

4. yes, bring me the names. You know a few weeks ago I had quite a time with satan everynight for a week. There were voices in my room, then shadows, and I get thrown against the wall, but finally I started yelling scriptures back and they finally left. I wondered why this happened, but I think I was about to grow alittle more in my testimony and Satan was mad. I wrote Casey a letter declaring the truth of the Gospel on paper to her one day and the next three days Satan was furious and non stop in my ear. I wonder, are you forgiving of yourself??

5. Oh, Lainie! I have had to have Luis drive them away from me several times lately. They have been all over me, scaring me to death. I so much wish you had some priesthood handy, but you do have exactly what you have. Scripute. And one night, they were in my closet where I like to go, and interfering with my prayers, and I had to hold up my hand, and ask Jesus to drive them out, and He did. Remember to do that. Stand up boldly, and hold up your right hand, and no matter how many times you have to declare it, you must say loudly,
   “In the name of Jesus Christ, I demand you to leave me, or to leave my room, or to leave my home, or whatever you need to say, and repeat it over and over, no matter how many times, and I am horrified that they got so far as to throw you against the wall. But that’s getting close to the experiences that I had early on in the church, when Satan was so furious that we had joined the church.

   Luis became more upset with me the other night than I have ever seen him. He said that he is so tired of talking to me, because I won’t listen to him. That I have been forgiven. That Christ has died for me, and I won’t even believe Him. He said he is weary of it all, and so frustrated, and it is making him very unhappy.

   And today, Satan was back at it today. All day i fought with him.

   I cannot make my husband unhappy anymore, but I definitely and most certainly can’t make my Savior unhappy anymore.

   I am forgiven

   Satan is after me big time. I believe something very happy and good could happen in our family. Maybe it is on the horizon, and he knows it, and is going to block it if possible.

   Lainie, stay strong, and talk to me in these spaces, as long as they last. I put your name in the temple yesterday.

6. Reading the scriptures one day, I had the impression that that is exactly what is going on right, something good is going to happen and Satan is furious. I starting quoting “The Lord is my sheperd” the last time and they immediately left. They say he has to flee when you start quoting the word of God. Probably the fact that Dad is really going forward with his Geneology right now , and you are about to as well is probably one thing their angry about. Wow, the biggest robin I ahve ever seen is out my window, i just took a picture, may I can blow it up enough to show it. Maybe she’s pregnant.
