very little time left. the clock is ticking aaaahhhhhh!!!
okay. Ramon got baptized. i still cannot believe it. he is so awesome. i love him he's so cute haha. turns out he's only 43, but he seems so much older. his poor pet bird Camila died the day before his baptism and he almost canceled it all. Camila was with him for 11 years. he almost got kicked out of his house. she went though everything with him. good and bad. she was like his daughter. it was so sad. we had her funeral right before his baptism. it was so sad to see everything he's gone through but it was so amazing to see him stay firm in his decisions and to remember that he will see Camila again. that was the biggest thing that's happened this week. i'm super proud of him.
also this week i have realized that the gospel is the only thing in the universe that can make us truly happy. that everything is temporal. but the gospel is eternal happiness. i know i have said before that "i have never been so happy" at certain points in my life. i'm sorry to say, but i was lying! unintentionally. i'm sorry. but i have realized that it was only temporal things that were making me what i thought was "happy". but i know now being surrounded by spiritual beauty that i am truly happy right now. and in gospel principles yesterday we were talking about the creation of the world. and how the animals and plants all have a purpose because their purpose is to make us happy and enjoy life. just my thoughts this week. i know that we can only be truly and really happy when we are surrounded with the gospel. only the gospel can bring us true joy.
i love you all so much. i am so happy you are all a part of my life. let me know if you want to stop receiving my emails. you will be dead to me. jokes. i still will love you. just a little less. JOKES. okay i love you bye.
