another exciting thing that happened this week... guess who finished the book of mormon, from cover to cover, this week!? THIS GIRL!!! yup!!! thats right!!! i dominated the total BOM already in my mission and seriously... i´m obsessed with that book!!! its like what it says in 2 nephi 4:15-16.... ¨For my soul cdelighteth in the scriptures, and my heart dpondereth them... Behold, my asoul delighteth in the things of the Lord; and mybheart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard. ¨
seriously, i have no doubt that that blue book is the word of god!!! and i feel so bad that i have taken its wonderful pages for granted my entire life!!! the words and testimony found in those pages hold the secret to happiness!!! && yet we let it sit on the book shelf and collect dust... ahhhh!!! we must read and study these amazing pages of wonderfulness!!!! anyways... i think joseph smith described it best when he said, ¨the book of mormon is the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to god by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.¨ wow. if that doesn´t make you go grab your BOM and start reading i dunno what will!!! ha ha.
anyways, i´m so incredibly grateful for this opportunity i had to read this amazing book, but also for the divine opportunity i have to SHARE this amazing book and its teaching with the people here in argentina!!!! ahhh!!! i seriously love being a missionary && love bearing testimony about our savior jesus christ and sharing this amazing book that testifies about our savior over and over again!!!
my dearest family and friends... i´m challenging you NOW!!!! read the book of mormon!!! don´t follow my example and wait till your on a mission in a foreign country to read the book of mormon for teh first time, from cover to cover in your native language!!! ahhh... i´m seriously appalled by myself!!! BUT... there is no use in beating myself up for past mistakes. TODAY IS THE DAY TO CHANGE!!! :) dont you just love that everyday we get a NEW day to start over and become better than the day before!? ahhh!!! i just love life sometimes!!! :) anywho... READ THE BOM!!!! its bomb!!!! ha!!!! ;)
welps, my darling people that i love so much... keep being OSUM!!!! oh yeah!!! and... enjoy that nice spring, ¨gettin warmer¨ weather... cuz its definitely getting colder here!!! BLAH. no me gusta. dad warned me, ¨in july, you die!!!¨ well... i definitely think were dying a little early this year!!! ha. cuz real talk... i´m using ALL my colorado winter clothes already... including my humungo colombian jacket, boots, long socks, and scarves!!! woohooo!!! oh yeah. and can´t survive without my 4 blankets and heater at night. ha!!! def missing my hawaiian days.... but... i love my mission!!! and i wouldn´t trade this moment in my life for anything!!!! :)
i love you all so so SO incredibly much!!!! && i´m so grateful for you love support && examples in my life!!!! :) keep being amazing && out of this world wonderful!!!! :) i love you. i love you. i love you!!!!
