Just Beyond Blessed

Hey all!

This week was so great! I've learned a ton about the Plan of Salvation, hope, forgiveness, and effective missionary work. I'm so grateful for my life and for my Savior Jesus Christ.

One cool insight from studies this week. We are so blessed to have bodies! I've often taught the necessity of bodies in the Plan of Salvation somewhat like this: God is our Father, and He has a body; therefore to become perfect and like Him, we also need perfect, glorified, resurrected bodies. All true, but our bodies, more than just being part of mortality, are in many ways the vehicle by which our perfection is achieved. It's through our bodies that we are able to be tempted and tried, have weakness, experience pain, and put forth effort. It's through our miraculous brains that our spirit and the Spirit are able to even interact with our body. In so many ways, our bodies are like perfectly designed little learn-to-progress kits that were perfectly prepared for us by our loving Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ. So cool! 

We could use prayers this week for Hector and Jairo. Both have circumstances that need to be overcome and testimony that needs to be gained in order for them to make covenants with God through baptism. Thank you for all your prayers and support. Miracles are being worked out here, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I love my life! This is Christ's church. I feel so blessed to be able to share the message of the Restoration of His gospel with everyone I meet, and I learn more about that message and its importance every day. I could not be in a better place right now. 

Love you all :)
