Im not really feeling like typing too much today haha
This last week was a great week and I learned so much about Faith this weekend! We got to watch the YSA devotional broadcast last night and it was about growing your testimony and Faith. It was awesome! Study Alma 32 really deeply and it will help you realize that you have more faith than you think you do! I also listened to a talk by Elder Holland called "Lord, I believe" and it is so stinking powerful. I learned that we must never abandon the faith we already have because of things we do not know. We must hold on to that which we already know and have faith in the things in which we cannot yet see. Its not just all about the knowledge that you have but its your Testimony thats most important. What you know by the spirit to be true is more important. My companion told me of an analogy of a cruise ship. There are many wonderful things on a cruise ship, but you many come across a bad movie or play on the ship. Does that mean the we jump ship completely because there is one thing we didn't like? Of Course not. It's like the church. The church has MANY great things to offer. But the church is operated by humans and sometimes we make mistakes. Doesn't mean we "jump ship" because of that one thing. Hold on to your Faith, whatever it may be. It is more valuable than all the knowledge and riches of this world. Your testimony is the most valuable thing you have. So strengthen that testimony by reading the sciptures, praying everyday and attending church AND the temple. I can't tell you how much I miss the great blessings and feelings that come from the temple! Take advantage of the amazing blessing it is to have a temple nearby in Rexburg! God probably put the temple next to our neighborhood in Rexburg because we need it the most! We can simply walk to it if we want to.
I look forward to Skyping this coming sunday on Mothers day!:) Can't wait to see you all. This will be the last time we Skype before I come home!! Crazy!
Love you all so much! Have a wonderful weekend!
