Woo-hoo happy Monday!
What a fantastic week it has been and boy would I love to tell you some highlights!
☆ Turns out my knee is fine and I just broke my femur!! Milagros people
☆ We got to go to the temple and man I have missed it! The peace that you can feel in the temple is unlike anything else and I am so grateful that we have the opportunity to go and feel God's love so strongly!
☆ We had kinda been having a slow week and lots of people kept canceling on us but Friday and Saturday we popped off and were able to have lessons with some really awesome people!
☆ I tried chicken feet! That's a one time experience for sure haha
☆ Our fav abuelita taught us how to make Sopes!!
☆ Met the most awesome guy named Audel who was just so sweet and thrilled to see us and it just made me so happy to be a missionary
☆ Made some memories, knocked lots of doors, got rejected a million times, and the times we didn't were fantastic!
This week as I have pondered on the blessing it is that we have a Temple here on the Earth to go and make covenants with our Heavenly Father in I read the talk
" The temple and your spiritual foundation" by President Nelson ( you should read it!) and it is fantastic! I loved the whole thing but here's a couple quotes I love.
"The temple lies at the center of strengthening our faith and spiritual fortitude because the Savior and His doctrine are the very heart of the temple. Everything taught in the temple, through instruction and through the Spirit, increases our understanding of Jesus Christ. His essential ordinances bind us to Him through sacred priesthood covenants. Then, as we keep our covenants, He endows us with His healing, strengthening power. And oh, how we will need His power in the days ahead." and this thought follows it along beautifully. "Please believe me when I say that when your spiritual foundation is built solidly upon Jesus Christ, you have no need to fear. As you are true to your covenants made in the temple, you will be strengthened by His power. Then, when spiritual earthquakes occur, you will be able to stand strong because your spiritual foundation is solid and immovable."
How beautiful is that, everything that happens in the temple is strengthening our faith because it all revolves around Jesus Christ and his doctrine! And not only are we promised to be bound to him but we also are endowed with power from on high, healing strengthening power, from our Savior, Jesus Christ. And with that faith and strength we know that as he said, we have no need to fear. What a powerful promise that is and one we also often forget. I know that temples are the house of the Lord and if we make the sacrifices and choices to be worthy and make time to attend the temple that we will receive more blessings than we could ever imagine. I know that if we keep our covenants and strengthen our faith that when the time comes, and it will, that the spiritual earthquakes come that we will stand strong. I encourage you all to take advantage of the temple and make time for the Lord!
Love you all more than you'll ever know! But God loves you more!!
