Re: Mom again!

Hi, Momma.
As for the gifts... You know I don't listen very well. ;-) I probably won't send many more since it is a little pricey, but you know I can't help spoiling Keira just a little.
Working with a trio is very different, but I think I like it. I think it's definitely helped me at this stage. I really love Sister Dabb, and I'm thrilled to be her companion again. She's a middle ground between me and Sister Maxwell, so it helps us all get along better.
I know I've been spoiled thusfar - a car, private computers, a really nice apartment (the Sundsvall apartment was the newest in the mission)... At least it's not as cold down here. The temperatures have been right around the freezing point, some days it's melting, some days it's not. I'm amazed that 'just freezing' actually feels pretty nice to me now. (Did I tell you that it was -20F at Christmas?)
I don't mind you emailing Nate. I told him in my last letter that I really appreciate him wanting to help my family. I just want to know what's being said. You've got way too much dirt on me. ;-)
I'm really happy for Darla, and that's really wonderful that you got to see her at the temple. I kind of turned into a temple junkie out there in Utah. I really miss getting to go now. I'm glad you're getting to go. Keep going for me. It would really be wonderful to have Dad and Danita in the temple with us when we do Casey and Maw-Maw's work. I'd love that.
Casey's headstone sounds great. He would like that, I think. As for the court case... I honestly believe that we HAVE to forgive the people responsible, Mom. If you seek retribution, I wonder if you'll ever be able to let go of the anger. If you seek retribution, you're never going to heal. Ruining someone else's life won't bring Casey back to us, and it won't improve our situation. Nate was right - that anger we feel is like cancer. We can't keep it. If we do, we're the ones it's going to destroy. And that doesn't help Casey either.
This time limit thing is really obnoxious. I have to go. I love you very much, Momma. Please take care, and pass my love on to everyone else.

Love,
Syster Hillar Kiser

P.S. Don't forget to pray.
