ok. it's my fault. i'm a horrible person, so sue me. Just cuz i haven't written for like 20 days, doesn't mean i don't care!! I feel like i'm writing a letter or something...I guess technically i could be. Anywho...
In my other blog i put a comment about how i had soemthing to share that it would most likely go here. It's not a scripture story, although i do have a thought about how that is going as well...which i will add.
So on my previous post, i mentioned i couldn't find my Escrituras en Espanol. Yeah that was extremely frustrating. My mission scriptures mean so much to me. They were basically two years of spiritual revelation put into a book, on pages of gold....para decir. So anyway I was getting to the point of basically giving up and just hoping that one day they might show up, or hope they had gotten into someones hands that would read them and i might help in some way. I had checked all over our house, like 8 times; all over at work, including in drawers, completely cleaning them out, cupboards, other desks, etc. EVERYWHERE possible. Well i really just was upset and didn't know wha to do, so i just prayed about it and hoped for the best. The next day, i came to work and basically i walked in, clocked in, and befor even touching the comptuer, or phone, or anything else, i opened this cupboard (above my desk, which i had looked in like 9 times) and they were there. I wasn't shocked, i didn't freak out, but more than anything i knew i had been tested and....to tell the truth, i passed the test. Ever since i've found them, i've kept them on the corner of my bed so i won't ever lose them again. Come to think of it, everytime i walk into my room, i always make sure they are right where i put them before.
I honestly think i had taken them forgranted and now that i realized how much they meant to me, and have found them....with a little help of course....i value them so much more.
On top of that, i'm glad to say i haven't missed a day of reading now 4 and a half weeks straight...i know not amazing, but considering my track record before that...it actually is quite stellar.
Back in January i'd had a temple reccomend interview with my bishop, Bishop Workman (amazing man btw), and just needed to have my Stake President interview. Well i just hadn't ever gotten around to it for whatever reason. Last Saturday we had a ward activity and he by chance came. I asked him if i could come by and have the interview to finish up my recommend and he said of course. I went to church a little bit early on Sunday, the next day, and went in. He wasn't available, but one of his counselors was able to interview me and get my reccommend fulfilled. Near the end of the interview, he asked me "During the time while i was asking you the interview questions, i had the impression to ask you about how your scripture reading is coming." I was like...WHOA...considering on the drive over to the interview i had really wanted to talk to the Stake President and thank him for sharing with us at our Stake Conference that he hadn't missed a day in 25 years...yeah amazing i know. i'm not sure if i'll go that long, but i really don't see why not? I mean...it's not like it's hard, and it makes the day so much better. So yeah, that was a pretty awesome experience just with finding them, then having my testimony reaffirmed that it was important enough to God to help me out and make sure i knew it was important also.
Basically I love the gospel and know it's true! Wahooo!!!
