| My new companion, Sister Hardman, and me. |
O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation!
Join the great throng,
Psaltery, organ and song,
Sounding in glad adoration!
"Praise to the Lord! Over all things he gloriously reigneth.
Borne as on eagle wings, safely his Saints he sustaineth.
Hast thou not seen
How all thou needest hath been
Granted in what he ordaineth?
"Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy way and defend thee.
Surely his goodness and mercy shall ever attend thee.
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do,
Who with his love doth befriend thee.
"Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that is in me adore him!
All that hath breath, join with Abraham’s seed to adore him!
Let the “amen”
Sum all our praises again,
Now as we worship before him."

If only the lyrics to my favorite hymn could adequately express the
joy that fills my heart as a missionary. If only my favorite hymn
could praise the Lord as much as I desire to praise Him!
I wish I could tell you of all the tender mercies and miracles that
have happened over the last week. They are too numerous to count, and
many are too sacred and precious, anyway. Suffice it to say that I
feel as though my heart could burst because it is so full.

wonderful area with a wonderful companion in a wonderful mission with
a wonderful mission president. There is nothing else that I could ask
for. The Lord knows me so well and I still stand all amazed at the
love that He offers me.
There are two scriptures written on a mirror in our apartment. When
read together, they express a beautiful message of hope and a promise
of strength: "For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying
unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee... verily I say unto you, that
great things await you" (Isaiah 41:13 and D&C 45:62).
I am reminded of the Lord's goodness every day. He leads this work.
Let all that is in me adore Him!
Love,
Sister Waite
