your grandfather Lee

My dear niece, 

God bless you for listening in to the Spirit. 

Let me tell you of a man you know who saught the gospel of Jesus. It was during the Vietnam War that this man who was a soldier saught more so the Lord his god. He wanted to know the truth and knew not where to find it. During the course of his search he had friends teach him and he wholeheartedly embraced it. Was baptized in a horse trough and came home to his parents with a new conviction. He later married your grandmother and had children, one who was your dad. Yeah I am talking about your grandpa Lee. 

Sister Bingham you come from a legacy of Binghams who seek to do the will of the Lord. We may have had our moments of weakness but I want to emphasize our strength. God loves us; all of us. Being a missionary is fantastic. Pray for us as we pray for you. Thank you for sharing your song and message. I told you singing was going to help. 

We hope and have the best wishes and faith pouring in for you. Keep up the great work. We know your the Lord's servant and we know you know it too. Encourage the saints and your companion. We live in a great time and the stone cut without hands is rolling at full speed. Temples will continue to open and we will witness miracles. Again, God bless you! 

Gott sei mit dir, bis wir uns wiedersehen.  liebe Onkel Nate

repentance

Ah, Packer Town, home of the cheese heads. So many stories. It is difficult moving from field to field (or it was for me) but He does it for the benefit of His purposes. Might I recommend on a prep day trying the cheese and talking to the locals?  You are so far ahead spiritually than I was when I was your age. That said, I will share what I have learned this week from Psalms 51. When you teach repentance, teach the people, it is not feeling guilty, it is not the sad countenance, sackcloth, or ashes that pleases God. It is the intense work and desire to restore the relationship lost. Feeling sorry and apologizing is only part of the process. When we do wrong things and our parents punished us, it wasn't the punishment that showed repentance. When we strived, worked, and pleaded to restore the trust lost that our parents blessed us with trust. They knew that we wanted to be good. Heavenly Father is no different. Trust is a fragile thing and can be quickly lost. The Lord desires to t...

My dear cousin, It's in the plain and simple things (like bunnies) that joy and truth can and will be found. Look for those things in your mission. Being a primary teacher has taught me so much and has brought to light so much of my mission and what it means to me. The message that you are teaching will strengthen your testimony. Do not ever be afraid to open your mouth. Your Heavenly Father will teach you and lead you to hearts that are open and searching for Him and the Savior. Every experience will lead you to where you need to be.  I aim to write you regularly so as to encourage you, cousin. Thrust in your sickle with all your heart, might, mind and strength. Hold nothing back. You have our prayers.  Love the Binghams

Money I have none

Dear Cousin,  Your going about the Gospel rightly. When I was a young nineteen year old, my companion and I had a dry spell. Earnestly we worked and daily we were rejected. It was one such day that got a call and it was during lunch. I was eager to eat but my companion told me to hold that thought. He ordered me to get on our bikes and follow him. I thought it was so peculiar that we would forgo lunch for a phone call.  We arrived to a shack of a place that had a dead lawn and old paint and with eagerness knocked on the door. A man with a dirty undershirt and jeans greeted us with a loaded .38 at his side. The expression of joy escaped his face as he asked us to enter. He would explain that he had lost his job, kids and wife and was going to loose his home. The gun was for him to end it all if we had not shown. For the next two weeks his dirty and uneventful home gained color and his spirit brightened. Because he was a skilled CDL driver he was given a job his first Sunday and...
