ded-i-cate good times c'mon!

okay so the fort lauderdale dedication is this sunday! COOL! i have been able to go to like 4? in my lifetime. Thanks honey and hopper for taking me to the redlands dedication. that was a cool experience as an 8 year old. and now ill get to see one here in my "home" state of FLORIDA! what a blessing!

apparently the temple IS STUNNING! no surprise there but just to show you how beautiful Ive taken some of the photos from lds.org to add to give your eyes a little candy as you read. and when i say some i mean one:

Its great! I guess its all a sand color with aqua accents. sounds pretty beautiful to me. Ill go inside someday. #primary4life

alright. back to bi'ness.

so this week went by ultra fast and i think it is because suddenly we have all these people to teach! its unreal! I feel like those missionaries that the apostles talk about are the ideal - not tracting just teaching. BUT I am tracting a little because the members do help with the work but not the investigator supplement part. #workinprogress

We are seeing a lot of miracles. one of which being that this woman and her children who have been waiting 7 years to be baptized have walked (literally) into our area. THATS A MIRACLE! que bendicione! (shes from Puerto Rico) Another great thing is that I am constantly learning and growing from the 9128375189347128937417834 weaknesses that I have... ITS AWESOME> its really cool how we can be like "okay i want to be able to do this" and even if it seems impossible, ULTRA scary, and RIDICULOUS, if it is a RIGHTEOUS desire - the Lord will provide a way for it to be accomplished, as long as we do all in our power to accomplish it.

ANOTHER thing that brought me a lot of strength this week was a quote by President GORDON B HINCKLEY - what a great guy, shoutout to the YOUNGS for taking me to his viewing, forever grateful for that -

he is talking to women about things to do- but just take this as it is. HE said
"I do not ask that you reach beyond your capacity. Please don't nag yourself with thoughts of failure. Do not set goals far beyond your capacity to achieve. Simply do what you can do, in the best way you know, and the Lord will accept of your effort." (Rise to the Stature of the Divine within You)

If we are setting realistic goals for ourselves and doing ALL we can in the best way we know how, the Lord will not only accept our effort but always reach out and help us along the way! I have thought a lot about how the lord reaches out and helps each one of us. I know i dont always recognize when he does. BUT HE DOES. and it always happens. #tendermercy BUT SERIOUSLY. i was reading in james(almost done with the NT real excited about that. JtheC is taking some time but i set a goal to finish it before im done here so no worries.) in james he was talking about how God gives grace to the humble. HUMILITY has NEVER BEEN MY STRONG SUIT....#blessmyheart I LOVE TO ONE UP. (weakness 1238973824790128493014...13849712347... working on it. ive gotten a lot better. dont worry) BUT It says this THAT I LOVE:

 6 But he giveth more ^agrace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the ^bproud, but giveth grace unto the ^chumble.
 7 ^aSubmit yourselves therefore to God. ^bResist the ^cdevil, and he will flee from you.
 8 ^aDraw ^bnigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. ^cCleanse your hands, ye sinners; and ^dpurify your hearts, ye double minded.
 10 ^aHumble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

so heres the conditional statement:
If I submit myself to God, and come unto Him in Humility, with a pure heart and clean hands(repenting with broken heart and contrite spirit), then HE will give me GRACE, come unto ME, and LIFT ME UP.
WOW! what a promise. sounds pretty great if you ask me. so thats what i would invite all of you to do. COME UNTO CHRIST(moroni 10:32) in the best way you can right now and be LIFTED UP! i know that we can all become better and happier as we do so. (theres my promise)
heres a cheesy music video thats stuck in my head so yeah.
