The Rock

"Happiness Moments"

-Saul got baptized!!! He is amazing. I love watching people transform their lives. At the beginning, he always came to church in a sweatshirt and jeans, and this last week he came in a sweater vest and slacks! And it has been so cool to watch him make so many sacrifices to follow Christ in his life.

-Going on companion exchanges with INCREDIBLE hermanas in my zone.

-Talking to my cute family every week is outstanding. :)

My companion and I were talking a lot this week about this crazy world that we live in, the priorities that people have, and what people really should be focusing on.

We learn in Helaman 5:12 about how Christ is our rock, He is our foundation, and that we CAN'T FALL when we build upon Him and His teachings. And it doesn't matter what the world throws at us.

12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall. 

There is a quote that I heard this past week that I love. It says, "Many men struggle to reach the top of the ladder, only to find that it is leaning against the wrong wall."

Don't forget the promise we find in Helaman 5:12; we don't have to worry about where we are climbing to on our ladder if our foundation is built on Christ. With Him, we can reach eternal life.

He is our rock, our Redeemer, and our best friend standing there with open arms. :)

I encourage you all to go to Conference this weekend with open ears and open hearts. We often repeat the same things over and over again in the Church, and it is because we should be building our life upon it. 

I love you all! Have a great week and soak up every second of Conference!!
