Thursday morning we got a little snow..... more like INCHES of snow! This early...that is unheard of in Virginia!
This week was kind of crazy! 3 days worth of exchanges! so many new people and getting to know them.. and planning a baptism for this Saturday!
William is getting baptized this Saturday and we are so excited!!
This week I learned a lot about Hope and love and how they cast out all fear. Being grateful is how you start to be positive, to be hopeful and loving! <3
A great Scripture I read this week.. Alma 24:6-10
6 " Now there was not one soul among all the people who had been converted unto the Lord that would take up arms against their brethren; nay, they would not even make any preparations for war; yea, and also their king commanded them that they should not.
7 Now, these are the words which he said unto the people concerning the matter: I thank my God, my beloved people, that our great God has in goodness sent these our brethren, the Nephites, unto us to preach unto us, and to convince us of the traditions of our wicked fathers.
8 And behold, I thank my great God that he has given us a portion of his Spirit to soften our hearts, that we have opened correspondence with these brethren, the Nephites.
9 And behold, I also thank my God, that by opening this correspondence we have been convinced of our sins, and of the many murders which we have committed.
10 And I also thank my God, yea, my great God, that he hath granted unto us that we might repent of these things, and also that he hath forgiven us of those our many sins and murders which we have committed, and taken away the guilt from our hearts, through the merits of his Son."
