A note of my own:
I don't know if I am supposed to write my own thoughts, but I have felt inclined to do so, so I will and I hope it is okay.
Hyrum and myself (Courtney) spent the summer in Georgia. Zoey (my 15 month old daughter) and I came home a few weeks early to find us a place to live before I was to start school again. I looked for weeks on KSL.com at the ads for houses/apartments for rent. I came across an ad that had been posted only minutes before. It had no pictures, and the description was brief. I usually skipped the ads with no pictures, for that usually meant the place was pretty run down. Yet, this ad stuck out to me. I quickly called the woman who posted the ad and told her I was in the neighborhood and asked if I could come and look at the house. She told me she wasn't showing it yet, but agreed to let me quickly see it. The moment I pulled up to the house, I knew that it was where we were supposed to live. It all worked out and we were able to move in despite the owner getting higher offers of rent.
I have never felt so compelled to live somewhere. Being a younger couple, we have moved around... a lot. This has made my husband and I yearn to feel more apart of a ward family and be able to serve fellow ward members and the Lord. I know that I was prompted by the spirit to find this particular house, to bring us into this particular ward family. The members of this ward are something special. Every.single.one.of.you. Thank you for welcoming our family into your ward with open arms and loving hearts. I already love each of you.
We are glad that you listened to the promptings to move into that house and be in our ward. You have a darling daughter!
