day 34
okay i regret doing what i am about telling you...but it makes a good story...but it is very immature!
so we are sitting at dinner and we see an hermana and an elder flirting....and we joke at out table that they didnt read the white bible if they are flirting...well i got dared to stand up and read from the white bible the section on no flirting.....and i dont turn down dares.....so i stand up...and my whole table gets the cafeteria quiet....i explain that i was dared to read out of the white bible....i clear my throat and start reading....everyone starts laughing and stuff bc of what i was doing.. i finish and sit back down...well to add to more of the embarrassment the teachers were all sitting there eating dinner with us.....so when i got back in class i got teased a lot....and still get teased
This week my testimony grew....it is hard for me to comprehend why jesus christ would die for me. except only love. there is no other explanation, and i was pondering this....i realized that i know this. i know that jesus christ died for me. i know he was thinking about all of us as he walked the long path of performing the atonement. suffering for my pains my afflictions my sorrows my sickness and he was thinking about your sorrows your afflictions your pain and your sicknesses your everything because he loves you! as i continued to think and ponder...i realized that these people here in chile that dont have this truth, they dont have the joy the love the peace that comes through the atonement of jesus chirst. i am the link for these people to find and experience the love of God. and how great a responsibility i have now to share the love of god to everyone and how great a sorrow there will be if i do not work with diligence and have faith in the lord and heed his promptings of the spirit for there will be those who will not receive the gospel and receive this fullness of joy. i know he lives. i know there is love if we ask for it! i know there is comfort in everything that we do. pray always...and when you dont know what to do get on your knees and open the scriptures. there is peace in righteous doing.
