My Grandma Ana!

Seeing grandma Ana yesterday filled my heart with peace. I cried, but my tears were more for me than for her. Looking at her I felt so much love and appreciation for her work and unfailing faith. I knew that very soon she would be among those on the other side of the veil and I felt a holiness in the room because the veil was so close and so thin. I felt surrounded by love and in my mind I envisioned her son, sisters, parents, friends and all those she has done temple owrk for all waiting in a room on the other of the veil just waiting for her to come through the unseen door. I could imagine them (her sisters Meleseini, Siale, Selu, Hehea, Tangivale, Emeline and Akesa) all sitting around talking about Ana. She lived a great life. I am so thankful for the women that have blessed my life so greatly. I look at this picture and know that I come from such strong, loving, patient, hard working, faithful, God fearing women. During especially difficult times in my life I have drawn from their example and strength to determine the outcome of the situation. My inheritance is my family and my faith. I have been greatly blessed in knowing that Families Are Forever and that because of our Savior, Jesus Christ, death has no power over me or my loved ones. My heart is full of thankfulness, because I had time to know and hear my Grandma Ana's testimony, like the testimonies of her sisters. She was strong in her convictions and fearless in her approach. I felt comfort in praying for her recovery that the Lord knows who she is because she knew and taught of Him. What a wonderful reunion for Ana to be able to see her family and know that she has fulfilled her mission on this earth.
