Institute today.

5 things I'm thankful for.
1. Finding out the Bryce will be playing at USU
2. The thought of going to USU
3. The thought of being a student at USU while Bryce plays there
4. Having a canceled class result in lots sleep.
5. Sickness, yes, sickness.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHURCH IN OHIO, 1831-1834

“But this Church will fill North and South America—it will fill the world.” Wow. This prophecy is being fulfilled at this time. In hindsight it has always been easy for me to marvel at the amazing amount of missionary going on during the beginning of the church. When I step back and look at missionary work right now I am completely awestruck. Right now I have more then ten friends out on missions and it seems like it’s every other day that I hear of someone I know receiving their calls and leaving.
The Book of Mormon says that we aren’t blessed until after the trial of our faith. I have always been taught that the devil can only tempt you and do so much to you, but no matter what he cannot go above what you can resist. This makes me feel sorry for the people who left the church at Ohio. I understand that why there were going through was extremely difficult and in no way shape or form am I trying to belittle what they endured, but still, they had seen that God ALAWYS comes through. Our Heavenly Father always blesses us and He always knows what he is doing. There is a purpose for everything in life.
It has almost been two years since I lost one of my best friends. Shortly after her passing I had an interview with my bishop who wanted to see how I was doing. As we were talking he asked me how my faith was doing in these circumstances. I replied, “when things get rough for me why would I turn away from where I receive comfort and solace? The church is the only place I can find comfort for her death. Because of the church I know I will see her again and that death is not the end.” He told me that when people experience death they tend to fall away from the church. This does not make sense to me. Why would you turn your back on your Heavenly Father? Why would you turn your back on the truth? Our Heavenly Father will always be there to comfort us. We need to put our faith in him and we will receive blessings. It’s not in our time. It’s in his time. The Book of Mormon says something along the lines of even as the heavens are greater than the earth so are my thoughts greater than your thoughts. We don’t need to know everything. I personally feel it’s better to not know everything. Everything will happen in due time.



I love you all, goodbye.
Mi amor a todos, adios.
אני אוהב אותך כל, סלאמאת.”/>
