I love the temple

Hola!

Time flies by so fast. The spirit felt here is amazing. We take for granted what a blessing it is to have the gospel in our lives. The gift of the Holy Ghost is priceless. It is wonderful to be preparing to go out and share what we have with others. It will bless their lives, and it is so important. This is salvation, after all. Being able to pray and have that connection with a loving Heavenly Father is so incredible. He loves us SO MUCH. 

The temple is such a blessing. It is a form of missionary work that I am very much looking forward to doing when I return from this brief period of service. We get to go as a zone today and I have been eagerly awaiting it, since this is the first time since I have been in the MTC.

What a blessing the gospel is! It is so perfectly simple. We have faith in Christ, and faith that through the atonement, we can be forgiven and be able to live with Him again. We are baptized, and that rinses us clean. We receive the wonderful gift of the Holy Ghost. And then we continue to strive to follow the example of Jesus Christ and keep the commandments. We make mistakes, so we have the atonement, and when we repent we are washed clean from those mistakes. When we take the sacrament each week, that rinses us perfectly clean, just like baptism. Wash, rinse, repeat. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is all about Jesus Christ. All of the other things are great, but Jesus Christ is the center. He is our Savior. He loves us so much. The purpose of being a missionary is to invite others to come unto Christ. We can all do that. We can all afford to be closer to Christ. It is a continual process of progressing, and there is little else that is more important. 

I love you all. La Iglesia is verdadera.
