This was a great week. Everything is still good to go with Diego so we're super excited!! He should be getting baptized this Saturday. He brought his friend Juan Camilo to church yesterday which was an awesome surprise haha. The bishop and young men's president said they're gonna do all they can to make sure Diego has a special baptism and that lots of people come. :) I LOVE YOU ÑUÑOA. Best ward ever.
Three weeks left until we find out if I'm gonna be transferred! Weird. Trying not to think about it haha.
SO HAPPY FOR AMANDA AND KYLE oh my gosh those were literally the cutest photos I've ever seen. And oh my gosh the card board cut out!!!! hahahahah LOVE IT!!!!!! Made me soooo happy :D :D :D
Also lately I've been thinking about the simplicity of the gospel and how sometimes the fact that it's so simple makes it hard for some of us to accept. I read a super interesting talk called "From the Beginning" by Neil A Maxwell maybe?? I think? Can't remember who its by haha. But it talked how simple truths were lost like "God is my loving heavenly father who has a body of flesh and bone" because philosophers and other deep thinkers chose to reject the simple truth and rather look "beyond the mark" to try to understand an incomprehensible relationship. That's where we get the whole--God is energy, God is everything, God is nothing, and lots of other confusing things. And while those are all interesting, it makes it hard for us to see our purpose in life as children of God because we start to lose that relationship. Its hard to explain haha but bottom line I got from it was: we should just accept the gospel truth and embrace its simplicity and be thankful that it is comprehendible and then just jump in and live it. And then when the blessings come we'll be glad we chose faith, and then want to choose it again and again until one day we find ourselves with God.
I love the gospel. It's probably the best news I've ever heard in my entire life. I love Christ my Savior. He died, but He lives again. And so will we. Its that simple. Choose faith, witness change, live happy.
Love you allllllllll,
