I wont tell you her name...cuz I don't want you to try to steal her from me! But I love this lady! She is 60 and I am 31 but I feel like we are the same age! We have been in the same ward for 6 years and hadn't had a conversation until she became my visiting teacher about 10 months ago. I really do think she was saved to come into my life "for such a time as this" (Esth. 4:14)
Just look at some of the emails she's sent to me lately:
"You are the dearest person in all the world. You can see it in your children's eyes! By their fruits ye shall know them...
AND you are the salt of the earth!
I know I sound silly, but you are such a dear putting up with absent-minded visiting teachers and treating us so good!
Heavenly Father answers prayers, doesn't He"
and:
"I just cannot believe how nice you are!!!!!! You have really touched my life with your kindness. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
she's optimistic and funny too:
"Hi, Jennifer! I hope you can humor me and let me share food sometimes...there is no husband to share with and love at home, darn him!! (haha) And my kids that I taught everyday and loved are gone, so you are my surrogate food-sharer with. (Psssst! Whatever you don't like you can feed to the cat!!) . So I hope I don't intrude too much!!!!"
There's more...but I don't want to make you feel like I am bragging about myself....because I'm not. I am bragging about HER and how great she is at following the Spirit and lifting me up. She really has blessed my life!
Because of her I have walked 7.5 miles this week! She is great at motivating me!
Love ya! Sister! :)

I LOVE your blog!!!!!!!!!! If I ever need a lift, I think all I will have to come to your blog and look at the beautiful faces of your children. You must be one of the great mothers of the Universe to "come as such a time as this" to raise such beautiful children sent to help usher in the Millineum! Thank you for all the nice things that you see in me and say about me. You're pure heart and kindness has comforted me many times. You have such a sweet and pure way of looking at others and loving them, and not noticing their grand flailing failing humaness and gracing the world with such gentle sunshine. Thank you so much, JEN, for dotting the world with little white dandelions, pure and simple, that when they mature and are blown scatter their seeds of kindness. THAT IS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! If the worls were filled with love like this, the Savior would come tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I love you,
Ruth
