Anyway, now that we have all had a trip down memory lane (who isnt remembering high school right now??)This week has been rad. Gloria received the Holy Ghost this sunday. It was really awesome to see the glow in her face. She has really worked hard to be obedient to the Lord and His commandments.Yesterday in district meeting I gave a training about obedience. It was really fun. I had a lock and various keys, and I talked about how obedience is the key to everything we want and need to acheive in this life. God knows exactly what we need to be happy. To be as happy as possible- and that is exactly why He has given us the commandments and modern day prophets that He has. I read a lot of scriptures. Here are some:D&C: -78:7 -130:18-21 - 107:99-100 - 82:9-10
These scriptures are incredibly profound. I invite ALL of you to read them, and really ponder what this means in your life.A cool quote I heard the other day:"It makes ALL the difference to eternity whether we do right or wrong today." - James F. Clark
And its so true. It was a cool experience to teach.Then afterward I was talking to Elder Jackson. He just got here this transfer, and he was like "wow, how long did it take you to get fluent?" I laughed and said "oh, I´m not fluent, I´m not even close" and he said "by the sounds of that training it looks like you´re pretty fluent to me!" it was a good feel good moment for me.
Sis. Gaspar and I have been having an "English Hour."Where we speak in english for an hour a day. She´s learning really well. Its fun too. She´s such a riot.
Oh, belated Happy Valentines day to all you happy couples out there. And a happy singles awareness day to everyone else :)Although here, valentines day isn´t until june... so.. yeah.
Anyway, I´m really grateful to be here right now. This week I´ve had a lot of little reminders and testimonies that God knows and loves me- and didn´t put me just anywhere. I love that feeling.
Alrighty then- COM AMOR, ATÉ SEMANA QUE VEM.. ... (se der.. jk)
