Stand Forever

Hermana Wright (Bestie from Lehi) at the Mexico City Temple

"Happiness Moments"

-SEEING MY BEST FRIEND KAYLIE WRIGHT HERE IN MEXICO. Kaylie is currently at the CCM and they took a trip to the temple this past week, and because I live so close I got to walk over there and give her the biggest hug ever. She is one of the best people I have ever met in my life. If you don't know her, you should. She will bless your life like she has blessed mine. :) I feel soooo blessed to have been able to see her. :)

-Making a very very very mini Easter egg hunt for my companion and watching her search the house for a little paper egg.

-Going on companion exchanges with Hermana Rice and Hermana Tukuafu! I got to re-learn the Tongan dance Hermana Tukuafu taught me once upon a time when we were companions, and Hermana Rice and I died laughing at every pun we could come up with.

-Having a breakfast with one of our amazing investigators and the mission president's wife!

Investigators

I HIGHLY recommend that all of you read the talk "Stand Forever" by Lawrence E. Corbridge. It changed my life.

One of my favorite things that he talked about was how the worst of all human conditions is actually the most common, and that is to die spiritually. 

Later he says,

"Pay whatever price you must pay, bear whatever burden you must bear, and make whatever sacrifice you must make to get and keep in your life the spirit and power of the Holy Ghost. Every good thing depends on getting and keeping the power of the Holy Ghost in your life. Everything depends on that."

Members LOVE to feed the Hermanas!

I encourage you all to think about the moments that you have felt the influence of the Spirit in your life, and to write them down. Think of what you can do to feel and recognize His guiding influence every day of your life.

Sometimes we forget like Oliver Cowdery did -- 

D & C 6: 22 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, if you desire a further witness, cast your mind upon the night that you cried unto me in your heart, that you might know concerning the truth of these things.

23 Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?" 

Easter Package

As Elder Uchtdorf says, "Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith." It's okay to have questions, but never doubt that God is your Father, you can talk with Him every second of every day, and that He loves you beyond measure.

With that knowledge, that comes through the Holy Spirit, we can Stand Forever in the gospel of Christ.

Have a wonderful week!!!
