To be honest, I hope it snows up till the day I get there so then I can see a little bit of snow... just hope that I don't die when I get back! haha
Glad to hear that your lesson went very well, maybe you could share a little bit about what you taught with me :) The greatest part of the gospel that I love so much is what He did for us. I don't even know how to explain to you how much I am attached to it, whenever I am going through something hard or when I am tired and just wanna say no, there is always a thought that comes to my mind, "its ok I'm here with you we can do it." Things that before seemed almost impossible to bear have become but what seems like a small pebble. I've come to realize that its not my will but that of the father, He knows what I need.
It fills me with joy to know that there are many that assist the temple, because I know the blessing that they receive. Not only for those that assist but those that are having their work done! The blessings are so great, I want to go so much to the temple I never know how much of a blessing it was to have a building so beautiful and great just a few mins away, never having to sacrifice anything to go. However I now understand better at how sacred it truly is and how important it is that ALL in the world are able to receive these blessings!
Well as for me I am not too sure if I will have changes or if my companion will have them but we will see. If I stay I will end being a district leader but if I go who knows what will happen. I will however finish up strong, sometimes it's a weird thought that its about time. I don't even feel it and I think most of the time I don't want it. Having to leave these people that I have grown to love so much just makes me ache.
But changes will be the 5th so I have no idea what is going to happen. I have no idea about when I come home they will send that the next change right before I go home... Garcia and I are doing great, I never really saw how much he taught me and how much of a blessing he has been. He is a awesome guy who has taught me so much, I can say that God does really know us perfectly and knows are weaknesses and what we need to be able to progress. I know with a surety that God listens to our prayers and is willing to help us, but what I have been able to learn is that the path isn't always how we thought. I love a scripture in Isaiah 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the lord
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts
I have been focusing a lot this week on a article that I read about our choices and the effects they have on the eternity. That as we use our agency willing to follow the savior we are able to make those eternal choices easier. It truely opened up my mind to see things with a different light and a different perspective. I am better able to see if the choices and think of the outcome and to take a step back and see what would be the better way. Being open to the inspiration to the spirit makes the choice even that much easier because when it comes from the spirit I know I can never be wrong.
As well I have been going over the lessons from PMG and I have learned so many new insights that I just didn't know before, and it has amplified my ability to teach those, having a better knowledge has helped me not only live better in the gospel but also I am better able to apply the different doctrine to those around me. I know that this is the true gospel the peace and joy you can feel living it is incredible, I know that we are able to be clean through the atonement of Jesus Christ. As far as baptisms are going we did have a family pretty much ready but what happened is he went into surgery and he cant get his eye wet so he wont be baptized. However we have a few other people as possibilities, hopefully they will be getting baptized soon!
Well I love you all so very much, I hope that all is going well and that you are able to continue doing good! How is family home evening going? what is your goal for the temple? oh when I get back I wanted to try out that coming unto Christ thing that you did! :) how is scripture studying going? Well I love you all so much. Can't wait to come home and be able to see you guys once again! LOVE YOU
