mollie in mexico: Alma 38-42

May 5, 2014

this week was normal... well normal for mexico! Nothing really exciting or life changing happened this week. I was sick (with who knows what... i had no energy and my whole body hurt.. but im okay now!) So i read a lot in alma and learned a lot!! Something i learned was in alma 38 when alma the younger is talking to his son about when the lord sent an angel to him to stop him from leading people away from the church and how he was in such agony suffering in his sins and as soon as he cried unto the lord Jesus Christ from mercy he felt peace in his soul. but not until he cried out for the Lord! He is ready and waiting for us we just have to turn to him and access his infinite atonement! Thats just so awesome! I love our Lord and his marvolous work! We are meant to be happy and have peace and joy in this life! and we can find all of that when we turn to the Savior! regardless of the situation we can always find peace in him. He knows the way because he is the way! The more I come to know Him and understand his atonement the more i want to share it!

The elders gave me a blessing the second day of my mysteious illness and i prayed before the blessings for some specific answers (just like you do mom) and i think the fact that i understood the blessing (it was in spanish) was an answer in and of itself! the main thing was just to clear my head and DONT WORRY! haha so thats what i am trying to do. ive gotten a lot better at that. Mexico is one big slap in the face of perspective! but in a good way! I LOVE IT!

Well i really didnt have anything cool or crazy happen this week so i shall send lots of photos!

Con Mucho Amor!!
