Sierra Abbott's Mission

July 9th, 2020 Hello all, 4th of July! It was so magical! Our site president let us all have a party together! We had amazing food, fun games, and just an all around fun time together! Than we all went over to the Sacred Grove when it was dark! We went there to look at the fireflies! They are gorgeous! Some of the girls started singing hymns and my comp, another girl, and I were a little ways off... it sounded like the trees were whispering hymns to us! Fireworks were going off in the distance and it sounded as if we were in our own little bubble of a safe haven. It was like the Lord was protecting us from the negative influences of the world. Something that I have been struggling with has been finding my purpose here. This has been hard for a lot of the sisters here because only sometimes we are giving virtual tours. We have so much free time that it feels like we are doing nothing. A tender mercy that happened in my life a few days ago let me know that I might not know the reason why...
