Hey everyone!
This one will be pretty short, this week wasn't very busy. We did meet some pretty cool people on Facebook and the phone, so we're excited to see what happens this week.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I can't really believe I'm 19. Thank you all so much for the messages/letters! It really meant a lot. I really have been blessed with great family and friends, I love you all so much!
As for a spiritual thought, I'd like to talk a little about pride. I was studying the book of Helaman this week and it's super interesting to see how the pride cycle plays out. Through reading the Book of Mormon, I realized that the Nephites go through that cycle at least 30 times. It really is evident that the Lord chastens us because he loves us. When the Lord prospers his people they so easily forget him. It's important to rid ourselves of pride not just in the difficult moments, but in the blessed moments as well.
I love you all!
Have a good week!
