.Not too much happened this week other than we tried to find some cool people. But I wanted to share with y'all something that the Lord shared with me. As I am serving in a small branch, I have the opportunity to help out in a lot of different ways. One of the things my companion and I get to do most often is to bless the sacrament. One of the times I had the opportunity to do so, I could feel the spirit very strongly and looked down at the bread I was breaking and had a few tender thoughts. I though, "I am breaking the body of Jesus Christ. When I have sinned, I literally could have taken a whip to his back, or hung him on the cross myself." We have a wonderful opportunity to take the sacrament and remember the sacrifice that he made and I invite you to take that time more seriously. Remember Him, and remember that it is because of us that his body was broken and his blood spilt. Take responsibility for those things and let gratitude overcome the pride you have, and experience the blessings our Heavenly Father has bestowed upon us. 

I do hope you have a wonderful week. :)
