it's time to update this blog

a lot of things have been happening lately and i didn't have any time to update my blog! as i finished studying and as i'm waiting for dinner i just decided that now was actually the right moment to do it, cause i know that i won't have any time this week.
so as i said a lot has been going on lately

1) i have been pondering a lot lately and i just noticed that all of my closest friends have been going through a special ... 'growing' or 'having-a-lot-of-experiences' period. my 2 guys-best friends are on a mission. one of them is just having a blast and has a lot (really a lot) of baptismal dates and the other one is training! my 3 girl-best friends have been through special periods as well! both of them have been having a lot of revelation about themselves and their future and one of them went to the temple for the 1st time (except for baptisms)! the point of me writing this is that i feel that i have kind of been blessed through all of them. i have been going through one of those periods too and I've just been a lot closer to the spirit lately! i LOVE the gospel and the church! i know it's true and it's so comforting to know the TRUTH! i love the book of mormon and i know that it is the word of God! i really love this gospel and am so grateful for joseph smith!!

2) we are witnessing a miracle!!!!
last saturday we had FHE at the Mputus and as i am the YSA representative I organised it! on tuesday i was scared cause NOBODY was texting me back and i really thought there was gonna be 5 of us there! but what was my surprise when i saw 13 other people than me there!! i think i owe the non-luxembourg ward people an explanation before i continue! we just started YSA in luxembourg something like 2 months ago and there are 4 ative YSA! that's why we invite the laurels and the 16+ year old young men (who, never actually come) and we invite a loooot of investigators, which is a good thing isn't it? but we've never really witnessed a miracle with all of these investigators coming but on saturday something really cool happened! so 8 of us took the train to go to the Mputus and 4 more people took the car to get there! earlier in the week i called the sister missionaries to ask them if they were coming and they said "yes, we don't have any investigator that confirmed but there is gonna be a miracle by then" they didn't know how right they were. so saturday we were on the train and the sisters started saying "mark mark mark.." and i asked them who that mark was and they said it was the investigator they asked to come and he had asked them to bring a friend. so we got out of the train and there they were: mark and daniel. we went to the mputus and just spent a wonderful time and then jessica said "ok what was your best and your worst moment this week" and daniel said that that evening had been the best moment and he said he was gonna come to church on sunday and he DID!! and he came to institute and he said he was gonna read the BOM. He said he loved the time he spent with us and that he had felt that we were a lot different from other people in a good way! so basically he's kind of a miracle! i really hope he's gonna get baptized some day! =) this is really cool!! i am so happy and excited about it =)
