Words from Sister Jaynes

Isabella,

I want you to know how much peace and comfort this email gave me from your Aunt Michelle.

I know when you read it, you will feel how much LOVE she has for you.

Even though she is on her mission, she has given me so much hope and strength through all of this.

Her words and thoughts are in my head daily.

As we were deciding what treatment to go with, she told me something I will never forget...

"I will for sure be praying for you and matt to know what to do about options for treatment! 

Heavenly Father really does trust you! 
One thing that I love is that when we keep our covenants and are righteous...
God will guide our footsteps. 
He will not allow us to make huge mistakes.
 He is in control! He promises us His help! 
So don't worry...i will be calling down the powers of heaven for you Tal!"

Here is her first email when she found out what was going on.

I remember crying and crying, and just cherishing every word she wrote.

I felt the Spirit so strong, and her love for you even stronger.

We are both SO lucky to have her.

Hi Tally. 

I don't really know where to start or how to explain my feelings. I want to say that I just love you. 

I wish i could just come and give you a hug. But since i cant i will just write the things that are in my heart. 

I was thinking the other day of Joseph Smith and everything he went through. 

He and Emma definitely had their share of trials and were only doing things the Lord wanted them. 

Sometimes we ask why do things happen to good people or in this case, cutie little Bell. Like Joseph, sometimes we ask,  1 O God, ^awhere art thou? And where is the pavilion that covereth thy ^bhiding place? In His way, the Lord then answers us the same way as he did Joseph.... 7 My son, ^apeace be unto thy soul; thine ^badversity and thine afflictions shall be but a ^csmall moment; 8 And then, if thou ^aendure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy ^bfoes. 

If there is one thing I know and would want to just say, 

(i know you already know this but it is always good to hear it again)

 God loves us and He is there.

 Just like you felt that literally for Bella. Sometimes we dont understand the why. It can be hard to know. 

I remember Dad telling us how helpless he felt when he and mom found out you had diabetes.

 I can not imagine, but i am guessing that is how you and matt are feeling. 

It is when our knowledge of Gods plan for us comes into play.

 He knows us perfectly and knows what experiences we need to become the best people we can become. 

Bella- babe is just angel and Heavenly Father knew that she could handle it. 

He also knew what parents He could trust in sending sweet Bella to. 

What a blessing it is to have the gospel and the knowledge of how suffering can bring us closer to God. 

I hope you can feel my love for you all the way from here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Kiss the kiddos for me. a few times. 

 Heavnely Father is in control Tiff. 

He knows what is best, sometimes it sucks learning the lessons He wants us to learn. 

You and the family are always in my prayers - but just know that even more are coming your way. 

Be Happy - tell Bell that I love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you.
