I always was surprised when people emailed me and reminded me of minor holidays. I always thought "Oh ya, I forgot! It is that time of year!" But I have actually heard that they kind of trick or treat in Chile! Is that true?
Announcements from this week:
I am going to start doing nerve regeneration research on rats, so pray that they do not bite me because I have a great fear of that.
We are now about half way through the semester
Me and Jordan aren't dating anymore as of like a week. It was good though, and I definitely felt inspired that it was time to move on. I really haven't felt sad at all, just exited to meet new people and make new friends (I really hadn't gotten to know my ward hardly at all because I was always driving an hour to salt lake on the weekends).
Spiritual experience of the week:
Yesterday night I got home late from a murder mystery date and I hadn't read my scriptures. I was super tired and was tempted to go to bed but then I saw Cassi reading her scriptures and I knew what I needed to do. I was on Jacob 4, which I really never considered a chapter of much importance, but then I started reading it and the words hit me so hard. Jacob 4 is filled with so much good stuff. I think my favorite scripture I read was Jacob 4:7 Nevertheless, the Lord God showeth us our weaknessthat we may know that it is by his grace, and his great condescensions unto the children of men, that we have power to do these things.
That we are weak so we are reminded that God is the one who makes us able to do anything anyway. So as long as we remember this, then it is very much ok to be weak. I have been learning this week that humility isn't thinking less of yourself, but thinking less about yourself. You just have to go out and serve others, and in the process you realize that God is helping you do so much more good than you ever could have done yourself.
Anyway, I love you lots.
