Oh hey friends!
It had been another great week here at Temple Square. Every day I fall more in love with this place. The spirit that is here is ever so present and the opportunity it gives me to watch it change peoples lives every day amazes me. This truly is such a sacred place.
Sorry this is long! I know I'm biased b/c I wrote this but it is worth the read! Pinky promise!
We've made so many friends and had so many amazing conversations these past few days. One of those friends we met was just last night! As we were out walking around square we saw this girl sitting on the edge of the reflection pool by herself. So as we were passing her we said hi and complimented her and although it felt natural to just keep moving on our feet stayed planted and we began a conversation. It was so cool! As we got to know her, she began to share some of her own experiences on her mission and just life itself. Some being that on her mission she literally almost died. Whether that was when she got a crazy dangerous disease from mosquitoes or the time that she got hit by a car. Despite the disease her work wasn't affected and although the car destroyed the bike she was on, she walked away without a scratch. She said I should've died from both situations, but I didn't. I should've been sad, terrified, and anxious but I felt okay. Sister Morgan then shared some of her own life situations that could have and should've been devastating. Though despite the event she felt okay. She felt good and like it would all work out. As they both were talking the spirit placed a very distinct thought in my head. Now bare with me because it's a little cheesy haha but I knew I needed to share it. So I did. I told them that I feel like there are a lot of moments like these that I've had in my life as well as have seen in others. Moments where our hearts should feel heavy, but instead feel light. For me it feels as if the Savior has reached out and put His hands underneath my heart and lifted it up and holds it in place. He binds up our broken hearts. I can still feel and comprehend the weight of my sorrows but I feel 'okay'. The Savior has and truly is taking upon Himself the weight of our pains and trials. And He will continue to do so until we heal, until our heart is strong enough to hold itself up. It truly is the power of Christ's Atonement. His strength, grace and love is unlimited and His hands are continually stretched out. I love the Savior so much and because of experiences like these and so many others I know He loves me too.
God is good.
