Week 74!!!

This week was good.   I'm a day late because we had a temple trip today.  I really do love the temple sooo much!!    I love the feeling in it as you go and just sit and ponder.  Every time my testimony strengthens in Jesus Christ and in the Plan of Salvation, and that I will be with my family forever.   I love the Gospel sooo much!!     I challenge all of you who can go to the temple currently to go do it sometime this week.    It will strengthen your testimony as well.  All of those who may not be able to go at this time, please do what ever you need to do to be ready to go in as soon as you can.  It may be hard, and take a little sacrifice, but get there as soon as you can.  I can promise only good things will come as you forsake what is holding you back for the things of Christ.  I really do know that the peace and eternal joy the things of God offers you is far better than any momentary pleasure the world can offer. 

 

This week we was kinda slower with the holiday and such.   We were not able to get anyone at church which is super lame, but we found a bit and taught some good lessons that will hopefully get some folks at Church next week.    

 

So the girl Zen we found last week.  We had a lesson yesterday.  We texted her to confirm it then she texted us trying to drop us and stay catholic.   We asked if we could still come over.  She said yes, so we took some of the young women with us to help answer some of her questions.  She is super prepared but her family is pretty catholic... I'm afraid she isn't going to be allowed to really investigate.   We taught her grandpa the other day too.  He is cool.   I really hope that we can see them progress!

 

I am out of time in just a bit... sometimes people send me pics that take all my time!   :)   but here is a cool scripture in Mormon 8 :35  "Behold, I speak unto you as if ye were present, and yet ye are not. But behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me, and I know your doing"  that is really cool.   Particularly in the end of the Book of Mormon, it is written just for us.  It is really neat.  It is directed to us and what we need to know in these days.  Moroni really did see us.  He really does know what is like, and through the Spirit he wrote these things.  I wanted to share a scripture from chapter 8 but all of them I wanted were really too long to do here so I chose this one and I would like to invite you all to study Mormon chapter 8, which is written for you personally, and choose one principle to apply in your life this week. Ii know as you prayerfully do so, Jesus Christ will help you to become more like him.

 

Have a good week!
