Power of the Book of Mormon

I just finished reading the Book of Mormon and I must say it has such a great power and spirit to it. I enjoy reading it when I do read, and I don't think that I ever get bored by the stories it has. The Book of Mormon testifies so much of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Everytime on of the prophets of the Book of Mormon speak of their love for our Reedemer you can feel it. I tend to read it for a short time but then I find myself engolfed in it. I feel as if I am their in their shoes writing it. I see in my mind the things they describe. I can't wait to get into the book of Mosiah, the speeches are so powerful. And then there is the book of Alma, he calls all to repentance and it is so strong! The last book, Moroni, wow is all I can say. When I read that book I feel he is speaking directly to me. I wish all who I know would accept the Book of Mormon, it has such love, faith and a spirit that can not be explained. To witness that one must read it!!

The bad and the good

These past few days have been a little rough and so that has kept me from writing. On June 30th Chango's uncle passed away. All day at work it was hard for me because I couldn't be at home to try to comfort him. Then later that night I got a phone call saying that my aunt was in the hospital with organ failure. Just that bad news sent me over the edge, and the jar that I lock my feelings into was running over and everything came out. For the past couple of months I have dealt with bad news of family members passing away both on my side and my husbands. First it was my mother in law, then my cousin's mom, both of whom I didn't know well but my heart ached for the family members. And then my uncle in law and my aunt. It was just so hard on me. Usually I handle death. I've learned to cope with it over the years, after all I believe we will all be together until judgement day. But I know not all believe like that and so my heart aches for them. On a lighter note, I received a call from the post office here in town, I went through my interview and background check, which took almost a month and so I had to go in for a drug test. Good ol' pee in a cup. So now I am waiting for the results to come back, I know it will be clean but the waiting is what is a killer. Our 88 GMCsuburban that we bought should, hopefully, be done this weekend. I can't wait till it is we need a car bad. So it just proves that Heavenly Father blesses us even when it seems like nothing is going right. Just got to keep the faith!
