Thank You all for requesting how to mail birthday packages to Katherine! This is her address. FYI I think sending something through USPS international 4 lb. envelope is the easiest. She is doing great!
My Beloved Family!
I really truly love you so much, and am so grateful for all that you have done and continue to do (and will do in the future
I am so happy to hear that things are going great, and that the family is visiting! YAY! You can tell them that I really enjoy seeing their pictures in the Tolman Family Calendar. It is pretty awesome! Of course Chris is a great cousin! Have fun all of you! Please tell Ang many, many thanks from me for the Christmas card. As usual, I have not had time to write anyone. I really enjoyed the book Victor drew for me and the pictures by Diana, and of course her wonderful letter. I am glad to hear they are doing well, and that Victor is taking those fighting classes! Oh, and for Ang: Sister Goud, one of my housemates, is from India. It was really funny when she was flipping through the calendar and saw Ronak and Ang's wedding picture! She said "Indian!" and got really excited. There are missionaries in India--who knew? They are only male though. Sister Goud is the only Indian missionary in our mission. [ours is an international apartment: American, Filipino, New Zealander, Indian]
Connor is taller than you now Mom?! Holy moley! Congratulations to Cyrus for his first time passing the sacrament!
I am excited for your upcoming trip Mom and Dad! Make sure to e-mail me before you leave so I don't miss any news!
BTW, are you all doing family scripture study? Chris, are you doing your individual scripture study every day? That is the best mission preparation, and life preparation. Good to get in the habit now.
Spiritual
1) As I have said before, the law and obedience and just exactly what that means have interested me for quite some time. In Romans 13:8-10 we find our answer--LOVE is the fulfilling of the law. Wow, God really knew what He was doing when He said the first and second greatest commandments were to love Him and love everyone else! As it says in Moroni 7:46-47 if ye have not charity ye are nothing, but it will be found well in the last day for he who hath charity. If we do everything else but neglect these commandments......yeah....good luck!
2) An addition: in the New Testament we find lots of great, timeless instruction for proper behaviors of members. I know the Book of Mormon is really important, but let us listen to the council of our leaders and use all of the standard works. I do testify that the Book of Mormon contains the answers to our questions...but it is not the only one. There are many other instances, even here on my mission, that my needs and questions have been met by the other standard works. Focus on the Book of Mormon....but use the others as well! They are also the Word of God!
I am transferring to a new area tomorrow. President has already told me that I will have an American companion. That will break me even at 2 American, 2 Filipino companions! I am excited to see what this new transfer is going to be like! Please pray for me.
ALL my LOVE,
Your daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and defender of the truth,
Sister Katherine Biggs.......a.k.a. Kat
