Week 32- We are nothing except through the Savior

I do not  have hardly anytime so I'm going to leave you with my testimony! The Gospel of Jesus Christ isn't something that is separate from our lives that we do on weekends! Well some people do and that's not the gospel of Jesus Christ! The Gospel of Jesus Christ is very much intertwined with every thought every action every decision we make in our lives! Without these principles like faith and repentance well our lives slowly start heading in an off direction! We need those things, they are here for us! When we finally come to understand that our spirituality just blossoms into something greater than our mortal state! We start to become more like our father in heaven which is indeed his plan! But that is not possible unless there was a Savior! Somebody who would save us from our fallen state and loose the bands of death! We are nothing except through the savior! If there was no Savior there would be no gospel.  If there was no "character of Christ" there would be no atonement, because the Character of Christ is the gospel! Faith love hope charity with an eye single to the glory of God! When our eyes are focused on nothing but the savior and we tune out all that worldly crap well then we can bet our bottom dollar that we are living the gospel of Jesus Christ and fulfilling the Lord's plan that he has made for us! So my challenge to you! Lay up treasures in heaven, think about the things that matter most,  things that are eternal, that are everlasting rather than things like instant gratification that are carnally-minded and unimportant. When we do that we can then say in testimony , "I know the church is true." -

I have to go mom! oh one more thing! I can't buy a ukulele it is now a rule because missionaries were using it as entertainment on the streets.  But if I ask The president in person, he likes me enough maybe he would let me have it. :) 

 

I performed in church A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief! The best I have ever played it and on a super nice piano it sounded awesome!! I sat down after I was done and the guy that got up to speak after me had tears in his eyes and he took like 1 minute before he could utter out a word and finally said,  "I don't know what to say!" The spirit was so strong when I played I had chills! When I sat down I of course cried! The spirit was really strong that sacrament meeting! I received a lot of compliments!  I said to them in response,  "I give full credit to my mom!:)"

Also I gave a training in district meeting on listening rather than speaking and asking inspired questions! It was awesome!  I felt great about lesson. 

 

Oh I would like power bars and pictures,  lots and lots of pictures.  From all of my  friends and things that you guys have done recently.  I love those! Candy and  goodies also.  Jake...if you could ship Jake in a package that would be awesome!

 

Maybe for my birthday you could send that $14  stretch ping pong net you can attach to tables and send two good paddles! That would be fun!

 

Okay love you.  Have a good week! I miss you so much but I'm just trucking on through! Tell Avery and Izzy I love them so much! Love you dad thanks for your letters they are always so good! Ok mom over and out...
