Settlers of Catan

Qué tal amigos? :)

This week was weird haha, but it was good.

We had some AWESOME lessons about the Book of Mormon with our friends AND we met with some really cool new friends!! What?! It's been awesome :)) we did have to go down to Santa Rosa this week so Wednesday and Thursday we were road tripping, that's what made the week weird.

Last night we got an urgent text from the elders! They asked if we were meeting with one of the families in our ward. They said they had talked to the son and he said we were supposed to come over too! For a second we thought there was some big miscommunication and we were supposed to have a lesson we didn't know about! Turns out, the elders just wanted to borrow Settlers of Catan from this family and wanted us to go pick it up. Apparently they woke up at an atrociously early hour to play it with the 6 other elders in their apartment this morning. This is all you need to know about the elders.

Today I was reading in Moroni 7 and the last verse really stuck out to me. It says, "pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart...that ye may become the sons [and daughters] of God; that when he shall appear WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be PURIFIED even as he is pure. Amen." I love the way Moroni states our goal, our goal is to become like Christ! In Alma 5:19 Alma asks, "Can ye look up, having the image of God engraved upon your countenances?". To me that means to act like the Savior in our behavior, and for us to be a reflection of the Master's life. Can I look up and say that I am? No pressure right? Be like Jesus. Okay. But the Lord knows we aren't going to be perfect and He knows we can not do it on our own. We're not supposed to. In Moroni 7:41 I feel comfort when it says, "Behold I say unto you that ye shall have HOPE through the ATONEMENT OF CHRIST and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your FAITH IN HIM according to the PROMISE". Jesus Christ promises us healing, hope, and change through His Atonement. He promises forgiveness, love, and peace. He covers it all and there is hope for all of us! We are each still a work in progress and as we act in faith to become like the Savior we will be able to be purified through the Atonement of Jesus Christ and receive eternal life.

Los quiero mucho amigos!
