It's 3 am & I just came home blegh. Today or shall I say yesterday wasn't as spiritual as the day before but it was peaceful. I think I am beginning to see why I needed to go through all this emotional crap. I am learning how to put all of my faith/trust in the Lord & also I have been seeking guidance from the scriptures (which I have never done successfully before). These last couple of days I have been meeting people that are in need of guidance & strength from our Heavenly Father. I have been able to relate in some way to these people & show them how I have been receiving peace & knowledge from God. Through my experiences I also have shown them how they can receive what I have. SOOO in a way I believe that Im going through these things so I can help others. The sisters & I met with this guy named Fred. He's pretty cool & is being prepared to be baptized sometime at the end of January. He is having trouble believing that he can fully stop certain things like smoking & drinking coffee. I have a feeling that he smokes weed because his eyes are all red & squinty & hazy looking. However I think he really understands what the sisters have been teaching him but I am afraid that he isnt ready to be baptized. Is there a time where it's too early for someone to baptized? I dont like how missionaries baptize people so quick right after a couple of lessons. But maybe there is something I dont know??? I honestly dont care about how many people I help get baptized. I just really want to help prepare people to become SOLID members. I think it is very important that people gain their own testimony because in the end its their responsibility in how they choose to live life. We met with this lady named Gloria-AHHH she's super sweet & funny! She was talking about how she was going to take off her wig because Sister Pinto looked like she was hot & sweaty. I would have loved to see that! I love going out with sisters(= it makes me so calm & happy (even though I'm usually sad right before). I cant wait to do it fulltime.
The rest of my day: I picked oranges from the backyard YAY! Mom & I went to Bernie's house to eat some Roscas (I WOULD find the baby!!!) We watched a Jerry Lewis film & then we saw the Help (MY NEW FAVORITE MOVIE) The Help was amazingggggg. Ever since I was a little girl in elementary school I've always loved movies on civil rights haha. My favorite movie growing up was called My friend Martin & it was an animated film about Martin Luther King. When I make my babies ;) I'm definetly going to show them that movie. I want to teach my children the importance of respecting all people no matter who they are, what they do or where they come from. ALSO THEY NEED TO KNOW THEIR HISTORY! & now Im just sitting in bed listening to some Tchaikovsky *sighhhh* reminds me of my childhood. I love classical music!
ahhh here's my favorite quote from the movie: "You is kind. You is smart. You is important." (= okay time to sleep gotta wake up early to go help Erika shop for her babyshower blegh.
