Smile For Jesus!

Hello! It's my last week in the MTC! Time works so weird here I can't tell you if it was fast or slow. It just came and now it's almost done

We had a last helping others lesson in spanish with this girl named Valeria and I felt so much christlike love for her. She told us that she was reading a bit in the Book of Mormon a couple of times and she took our invitation to pray and I got super super exited that she was taking a part in the gospel and starting to build her faith in God and in that lesson I helt so much joy, happiness, i was supper giddy all for her . If I am going to feel that way again when I start teaching other people I am so exited!!

I met 2 elders that I know from SVU and I am so happy I got to see them! Elder Leger is going to some part of canada speaking French (ngl I wish I had that mission) I can't remember exactly where it is. And Elder Ford is going to my Comp's mission speaking english! I know they are going to do so many great things on their mission! 

So I have been writing down some lessons that I may teach youth or other kids one day and something cool I found this week is that Impressions of gospel things are the same as revelations from God. You don't have to have a first vision like Joseph smith or see a burning bush like Moses to have a spiritual experience. You can be listening to a hymn and feel peace, or walk and admire God's creations. Super awesome!!

4th of july was so cool! We got to stay later than we were used to and watch this stadium of fire show that was showing in the stadium. It made me miss all of the 4th of julys I had at the many places I have lived in my life.most of the time at Grandma's house though. Those were great!

Alright I really like putting invitations in my email so when you have time I want you to read this scripture below. It is Alma 36:17-20. This scripture is in the Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ. In this scripture Alma the younger is going through a massive repentance proccess and he asks god to help him to not be tormented by his sins no more. I invite you to pray and ask heavenly father for something in the realm where he can help you change. It will happen in his time if you have a sincere heart. It can be strength to go throughout your day or week or it can be to see people in a better light through christ's eyes. I witness to you that Jesus Christ has given me this blessing to remember my sins no more because I sincerely asked.

Alma 36:17-20

17 And it came to pass that as I was thus racked with torment, while I was harrowed up by the memory of my many sins, behold, I remembered also to have heard my father prophesy unto the people concerning the coming of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world.

   18 Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me, who am in the gall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting chains of death.

   19 And now, behold, when I thought this, I could remember my pains no more; yea, I was harrowed up by the memory of my sins no more.

   20 And oh, what joy, and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain!
