2 Nephi 2 :13
"And if ye shall say there is no law, ye shall also say there is no sin. If ye shall say there is no sin, ye shall also say there is no righteousness. And if there be no righteousness there be no happiness. And if there be no righteousness nor happiness there be no punishment nor misery. And if these things are not there is no God. And if there is no God we are not, neither the earth; for there could have been no creation of things, neither to act nor to be acted upon; wherefore, all things must have vanished away."
Lehi explains to us OUR existence .. how and why we are here on the earth and where we are going. everything builds upon that we are here .. we can look outside and see all the creations around us .. if we are here and there are creations around us there must be a God. there must be opposition in all things to create a choice. Lehi tells us further that correct choices .. following Gods commandments will bring us eternal life. i know that is my goal. that is the goal we teach others about. how to gain eternal life. this principle was the theme of my week !
i love LOVE love working with the YSA. their testimonies are SO solid and if they arent yet they are doing all they can to build that unshakeable foundation. they KNOW this is real. they see and feel the difference it has and is making in their life. its beautiful.
* FHE this past week was AMAZING ! so many YSA came .. about 30 .. there were 2 investigators and the lesson was given by ALEX PINGEL ! we sisters actually pawned it off to him .. he taught us how we can spread the word of the gospel by technology and he challenged all the YSA to use facebook, texting, and email to teach others about the gospel ! alex is so rock solid !
* tuesday was amazing b.c. institute in osh kosh is SO good ! the amount of time these YSA spend in driving to be with each other and to be uplifted spiritually is wonderful ! the other good part was the ADAMS-FRIENDSHIP SISTERS CAME ! this is why ..

* BRITTNIE ! she is the coolest ! we taught her this week about 2 nephi 2 and the plan of salvation .. she has a hard time understanding scriptures so we taught her to pray before hand and we will take it one verse at a time .. as we started reading we would explain to her and then she started explaining to US what it meant. we told her we were sent here specifically for her and as she understood more and more about her purpose as a child of God tears formed in her eyes and she said, "this is beautiful." she is amazing !
