Dear famliy this week has been great we had the water turned off at the MTC not to bad 10-6 when no one really uses it, I recieve my Dear elders after dinner every day so if you have a question to ask me make sure its before friday then I can answer it. So I found something interesting the other day as I was studying, in the english Bible Dictonary I came across the word LUZ thats spanish for light but in the english it says its almond tree I thought that was interseting looked at some scriptures that were referenced to it the story of jacob he was traveling and rested in a place named luz and god visited him when he woke he feared that he had done something wrong and made an alter poured oil on it and renamed the place bethel (house of god) any way I moved on and the next day I was studying somewhere in the plan of salvation and came across the mention of the almond tree so I then looked up the almond tree in the bible dictionary, one of the scriptures sent me to genesis with moses and the temple descriptions and their was mentioned a candle stick with 6 branches and almond blossems or leave and lamps added they also had bowels made like almonds then all 12 tribes had to place a rod (stick) i believe in the temple and Arons (Levi) rod bloomed and had almonds on it and it was kept as a testamony to all the tribes. your going to have to leer (read) it your self but I would like to know whats the segificance of the almond tree the even what does a almond tree look like if any thoughts let me know mom talk wwith sandy and sister Richens I want to see what they think as well as anyone else I love you all hope to here from you all soon hermana smith ps I forgot I met an elder smith from england going to germany he live north of london and had some friends who live in lakenheath his famliy moved to the states he likes it here. pss some more pictures for you kristin's e-mail didn't work i'll try the other one next p-day I out of time now love yall
