Last Letter from the MTC
Its so crazy that I only have like 5 days left in the USA. I swear that I just got here. :P
So last night was a really powerful Devotional. Elder Stanley G Ellis was the speaker. He had all his children give their testimonies and then he gave his. It was such an awesome spirit there. His wife said something that is really stuck in my brain. She said.
Remember:
1. Faith is Power
2. Obedience is the Price
3. Love is the Motive
4. The Spirit is the Key
5. Christ is the Reason
6. Joy is the Reward
She was saying that for missionary work, but I feel that this applies to anything we do in the church. I Invite everyone to write these down and put it somewhere where you'll see it always. It has everything to make life worth it. :)
For a lesson Sister Hall and Me taught for our district we watched a Mormon Message called The Power of hope. You, if possible should watch it. It's really a powerful video. Recently I've been studying hope in my Personal Study. It is one of the Christlike Attributes. I read the talk "Hope, An Anchor of the Soul" by James E. Faust. Something that I really liked was that he said "The reason for some of these trials cannot be readily understood except on the basis of Faith and Hope because there is often a larger purpose which we do not always understand. Peace comes through Hope. A Sister Joyce Audrey Evans said that, "You either ive in hope or in despair. Without hope you cannot Endure to the end.". And Samuel Smiles commented, "Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey towards it, it casts the shadow of our burden behind us.". Always remember that God and Jesus loves you very much. I love you all and miss you. I pray for you often.
Alle Meine Liebe,
Sister Lahra Sherwood

Latest Letter and Rhyme Time with Sister Sherwood
16 July 2014
Hey Everyone.
Hey so I don't have much time, but I can tell you a little about what's been going on.
TRC started two weeks ago and we have it again tomorrow. I am enjoying it, but it's kinda hard because we have been teaching "investigators" in class and so it's hard to teach members in TRC. I'm excited for this week cause we are skypeing members in germany. I'm also nervous though because it's supposed to be 40 minutes. Needless to say I definitely enjoyed being the investigator in TRC more. :P
I had a funny thing happen when we were teaching Daniel. (we have 2 "investigators" Daniel and Angelo) I had Memorized the baptism invite questions and I was asking him to be baptized. I hadn't realized that I'd forgot a word and accidentally asked if he'd baptize to priesthood authority of god Instead of asking if He would be baptized BY that authority. :P I will never forget that word again. ;D
Overall its been a very good week. I hope it continues that way.
Ich liebe ihr! I hope you are all well and are enjoying life. Always remember....
Don't Smoke, Don't be stupid Cows, Kein Stress AND Kein Angst. (I think jenna's the only one who'll get the don't smoke and don't be stupid cows, so she'll have to explain that to ya. :P)

This is Great Grandma. Hi how are you?
We miss you a lot, but you’re missing things too.
We’ve been wading in rivers and swam in the pool,
And doing whatever is fun or is cool.
You wouldn’t believe Max and Lianne in the pool
And Xavier is walking now, isn’t that cool?
----------------------------
This is your grandpa, we have been looking for you
Every day that we go to the MTC
We know you are working hard and are so proud of you
And look forward to hearing of your joys and your trials
We know that both will be for your good and your growth
And will make you the “minister” of the Savior that you want to be.
(Does that rhyme when translated to German?)
-------------------------------------------
Dear Sister Sherwood, we so love to see
Your letters that are posted each week by D.
We know you are growing and feeling the Spirit,
And experiencing new things – and we so love to hear it.
We pray for you daily and hope you can feel
Our love and our joy in your missionary zeal.
The Gospel is True! The Savior lives and loves you!
Heavenly Father will bless you for all that you do.
Grandma
---------------------------------------
Hey Sister Sherwood, it’s your favorite Aunt.
We’re visiting your family, though Uncle Jared can’t.
We’re having fun, but we’re missing you,
Just know we’re proud of all that you do.
Missions are great, hard, crazy, and amazing.
We hope you enjoy the new trails you’re blazing.
Try to find the good in all around,
Your companions, the people, even the ground.
It’s there, it is, though it may be hiding.
Ask for the Spirit, he’ll help in finding.
We love you so much, and await to hear
The wonderful things that you’ll learn there.
Aunt Maryle and Family
----------------------------------------------------------
Hello again, Sister, it seems not so long
Since we drove ‘cross the country with the big truck along.
We sure loved having all that time with just you
To play and to drive and to buy you new shoes.
Now you’re on a whole new adventure to learn
How to pray, and to study, and love, and to earn
the trust of your Heavenly Father as He
gently molds, and sharpens to the tool you can be.
Enjoy your time in the MTC, and be sure
To soak in the spirit, where it’s strong and so pure.
The language will come best when you’re there in the land,
But ne’er again will you drink right from the hands
Of the Apostles and Lord’s servants with such power
As only comes from so many who serve the Lord EVERY hour.
It’s ten thirty at night and not very good timing
To sit here and try to attempt so much rhyming.
So know that we love you, miss you, and are pray’n
That you’re happy, on fire, work’n hard, Auf wiedersehen.
---------------------------------------------------------------
So, now it’s mom’s turn and you’d think that by now
I’d have a great rhyme to make you say “Wow!”
But, alas, my poor brain has gone off to sleep
and I am not fit to mutter a peep.
So, tomorrow a letter on paper I’ll write.
But for now, Lovsen Yousen.
-Your Mother.
Good night.
-------------------------------------------------------
Dearest Lahra, how I miss
Your ever smiling happiness
Except for when…
And then again...
There is a hole that we can’t kiss
Now there’s a place that all know
Purple, green, now empty. Though
I must confess
(This ain’t a jest)
It’s becoming my room. Just so
I’ve rearranged, though it took time
(By the way, Mom found a dime)
And now my desk
And bookshelf too
By *your*bed stand in a line
Your closet is all diff’rent too
Though none of that really had to do
With the girls, (me),
The boys, or me
I just moved all my books, and shoes, and clothes, and journals, and dresses in after Mom helped me take everything out. (Phew!)
The only other thing is band
Which I believe is out of hand
For John did say
That we can’t play
For staff until our sections can
For passing off is fun to do
And lets us get our show shirts too
But as secr’tary
My life is scary
‘Cause my section’s the WHOLE BAND! (Poo!)
I’m out of time, I now must flee
And you’ve a ‘Whole New World’ (D’ya see
What I just did?
I bet you did!)
To meet away far over the sea!
Soon you’ll be back, though it may feel
Like forever, just click your heels
We’ll think of you
(And Soapy too)
As we wait for bells to peal
Love ya Lahra!
Jenna
-----------------------------------------------------------
Lahra, It’s your favorite football playa
And I kind of really miss ya
Everything has been different since you have been gone,
Even though you haven’t been away for that long
Life is still pretty good
Even though you’re not in the hood
We had a great time with our cousins here
They came all the way from far to near
All around the 4th of July
Wow, time has really started to fly
I am so proud of you
You’ve been a great example too
I hope your love of the gospel stays fine
As I continue to grow mine
It’s sad to say, I now must go
I hope you like it where you blow
I love you much my sister dear,
Even though you won’t be near
I hope to hear from you soon
It may not be under the moon
Goodbye Lahra
Jacob
P.S. I hope the mission is going well,
But I’m sure it is going quite swell.
P.P.S I gave Jenna the hug and kiss you wanted me to.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Breaking News!
It has recently been discovered that some girls are allergic
to the Imperial March! This only seems to have an effect
on girls that are obsessed or even have a mild addiction to
the lame show known as My Little Pony! This information
shall surely save the world from imminent destruction!
We now have a defense against the epic stupidity of that
show the world is being poisoned by!
Hi, Sister Sherwood. You probably already know who wrote
this part of the letter, and even though it doesn’t rhyme, this
“cure” actually works on Amy, Miriam, and Annaboo. They
all love you and miss you, and I do too. I hope you’re having
fun on your mission!
With Love,
Mini-Vader

Sister Sherwood's response: 9 July 2014
Dear Family, (extended and not)
You are all so amazing.
I find the noise I've been craving.
I've been doing quite well,
Everything is happy and swell.
The 4th of July was a blast.
We stood and watched the fireworks crash.
As I watched, I did ponder
on if you were watching the same ones up yonder.
The stadium of fire is so cool.
It's way better then going to school. :P
After the show we all went to bed
We first danced with glow sticks round our heads.
Then in a Star of David they lay (the glow sticks)
While we in a circle did pray. (I hope that's not sacrilegious. ;P)
There they stayed through the night,
Giving off their neon light.
On Sunday we heard from Josh Wright.
His piano playing made me smile with delight!
Our teaching of investigators is going great.
We're slowly learning how to follow the spirit.
On Tuesday, we learned about sub conjunctions.
I still don't quite get how it functions.
Tuesdays devotional was late getting done.
But that's ok 'cause we heard from Neil L. Anderson.
The days take forever, but the weeks fly.
Can you believe how time flies by?
Only 3 weeks to go, kinda a pain.
I really want to be done and on a plane.
The computers here are slow, so
I'm sending you my SD card, just so ya know.
Take all the pictures off and send it back.
I'll include a list of what's what in that.
I love you all, but time is short.
A talk on repentance in German I need to record.
Until next time, my awesome family.
Alle meine liebe,
Sister Lahra Sherwood

News from Sister Sherwood
Dear Family,
I just had a really good evening. For the Sunday Devotional you'll never guess who spoke ... Josh Wright! (If you don't remember, he's a super good pianist that played with the orchestra dad is in. :D) It was so cool. His talk was a mixture of him speaking and playing the piano. He played 4 songs. I don't remember what the first one was, but the last 3 were as follows:
1. Make the notes sing. (It wa one of his encore songs at the TSO concert.)
2. Clare de Lune/How Great Thou Art. (The one we heard at Grandma's house.)
3. All Creatures of our God and King.
Something he said that really stuck out was that we can have access to miracles every day if we ask The Lord. He also reminded us that we must let God determine our self worth. I love you guys lots. Hope you're all doing well. I hope that you all write me often. It can be like missionary pen pals. :)
Alles meine liebe,
Sister Lahra Sherwood
P.S. We also watched "Legacy" in German. So cool seeing how much I knew.
P.P.S. Please send me Ritz crackers and Nutella ... or at least just the Nutella! Love you all!
9 July 2014
You guys are amazing. :) I love you all. Thank you so much for that. It's good to know that you are all well. I would send you a cute little rhyme about what I've been doing, but I've only got an hour on the computer, so I'll send you a written letter doing that. It's been a pretty good week. I had some really low points, but I'm deciding to make everyday a good day no matter what happens. So....... guess what?! Yesterday Germany beat Brazil in soccer. :P It was like 9-1. I wonder how Dad thinks of that. :P (just kidding by the way.)
I got to hear from Elder Neil L Anderson at the devotional yesterday. It was so good. One of my favorite quotes were "You have all the gifts sufficient for you." You aren't supposed to be like everyone else. God gave you all you need to succeed in life. I'll say more in my paper letter.
I love you all and miss you. Hope all is going well. Give my love to everyone. :D
Alle Meine Liebe,

Still the Land of the Free
 |
| image shared from http://dedicatedtoheroes.blogspot.com/2012/07/declaration-of-independence-gift-that.html |
I am an American. That means I'm free... just like everybody else on this planet.
Freedom is a gift from God to all humankind. It is not granted by the constitution, although it is protected by it, and it cannot be taken away, although man may be oppressed. It is the birthright of all who are born into the human family, regardless of their nationality, creed, age, gender or lifestyle preferences. All of God's children are absolutely, irrevocably, unequivocally and eternally free.
But as an American, I enjoy another precious gift - one that not all the human family can claim. It is a gift that has been purchased at great cost, and continues to be paid for at great cost even today. It is what many call "freedom", but it is more correctly termed "protection". I speak of the protection guaranteed to the citizens of this country which prevents the government from retaliating against them for exercising their God-given liberty within the bounds of the law. And thanks to the wisdom of our forefathers and the inspiration of The Almighty, the bounds of the law are prevented from ever eroding past certain limits by the articles and amendments of the United States Constitution, as long as we have the courage to hold true to it.
This means I can exercise my freedom to worship God or to deny Him; to praise Him or to blaspheme Him, and I do not have to answer to my government (or its agencies) for it. I can criticize, curse and complain about my elected officials, or I can pray for them. I have an equal voice with all other citizens in their selection, and if I want, I can choose to remain silent. I can decry and abhor the evils and injustices of the world I live in, or I can work to change them. I can arm myself for my own protection and the protection of others, or I can put my faith in the officers of the land to maintain my safety and that of my family and neighbors. I can strive for exceptionalism, or I can seek to become more like everybody else. In all these things I am accountable to none but God and to my own conscience. I am protected from the oppression of my government.
And for this, all I can say is: God bless the land of the free, and may it ever be the home of the brave!

Letters from Sister Lahra Sherwood
I thought the easiest way to share Lahra's letters with everyone would be to post them here on our family blog. We've received 2 letters and several emails from her since she entered the MTC in Provo on June 18. I'll try to post her letters as we receive them.
June 18, 2014
This has been a really hectic day. It has also been really good. My companion is Sister H. She is so much like me. She is super shy and plays a string instrument. We don't say much, but I love her and hope that we will be more comfortable and talk more as we go along.
So it turns out that I'll be here for 6 weeks, which is fine by me. :p Getting here I've realized that I don't know much at all. I'm kinda worried that I won't learn enough before I head out to Germany. I trust that The Lord will help me.
The spirit is so strong here. I feel just totally at peace. I thought that I'd be missing you terribly and cry a lot, but I feel fine. I know that The Lord is watching over you guys. Don't take it the wrong way though. :p I do miss you.
I want to bear you my testimony that I know this church is true. I know that God lives and answers our prayers. I've prayed to know that what I'm doing is the right and I know that it's where I need to be. I hope that all of you get to serve a mission. It is the best blessing you could have.
I love you guys so much. Take care of each other and always remember to pray.
All my love,

HI everyone. So my first week has been good so far. I'm learning how to say gospel related German words which is good. I find myself writing in german when I'm not realizing it which Is funny but you may have to google translate stuff if I do that in my emails. (sorry :P) I love the spirit that is here. My companion is Sister H and she is super sweet. She is shy like me so I feel like God really knows me. I love her to death.
We start TRC this week. I'm so excited because for German speakers we get to skype people in germany for TRC. :D My only worry Is them talking to fast.Love,
Sister Sherwood
July 2, 2014
This week has been a blast. Me and Sister H started practicing teaching "investigators". We are teaching D and A. (first Initials.) I feel like both have been prepared to be taught the gospel and that If they were real Investigators that they would get baptized.
I feel really sad for D. He comes from Gana and has lived in germany for 2 years. He hasn't found a job yet. I pray for him. He comes from a really big family. He is just so humble and has the biggest testimony in our savior. I can't wait to teach him again.
A is a Catholic. His father is a member which gives us an in. I'm so excited for him because He said that when he feels the church is true, that he'd be willing to be baptized. I hope that he prayed about the book of mormon and read it.I feel really sad for D. He comes from Gana and has lived in germany for 2 years. He hasn't found a job yet. I pray for him.

We got to hear from a Brother Snow. He used to be in the Quorum of the 70's. He went to the Germany West Mission. I am so glad that there's the MTC now. I don't know If I'd be willing to go if I couldn't have some language learning. :P
Well, I love you all. I don't know how to get my pictures off my camera on these computers, so I'll send the SD card and she can share them. It's time for me to go.
Ich weiss dass Das Buch Mormon wahr ist. Ich weiss dass dieses Kirche ist Die Kirche Jesu Christi. Ich weiss dass Joseph Smith ein prophet Gottes ist. In Namen Jesu Christi, Amen.
Alle Meine Liebe,
Sister Lahra Sherwood
