What we really need

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTHEW GUTTIEREZ!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! 

I miss turkey day.

I can´t believe a year has already passed! Here in a few weeks I´ll be talking with my family again!

Time is supposed to be constant... why does it feel so much faster than when I was a youngen?

Stake conference is coming up! We will hear the news if the group will be a branch or not! wooooo hoooo!

John 3:12

"If I have told you early things and ye believe not, how should ye believe if I tell you of heavenly things?"

I find that many times I expect more, more, more, more. 

How can I expect to be blessed, more knowlede, more guidance if I can´t finish what I´ve already started or don´t want to do my part at all?

Why do we want what hurts us?

I´ve been thinking about this a lot this week. About myself and everyone really.

When we teach people we give the principles to help change their lives, but addictions are hard to break. And we can have addictions to just about anything.   

When we´re sober we can see what we want and we remember why we want to be free, but when the skies begin to darken the pain that we´ve felt is no longer illuminated and we grab hold of what we´ve put close.

That small time when we are sober is crucial. We need to take hold of it while we have it and FEED it. Grow stronger, use that time to be filled with excitment for other things, to replace what we once wanted and feel that we need. 

In the end the only thing that we actually need is Christ, our Savior.

Gregory: .... dreams have a lot to do with our thought process. But no worries ;)

Thanksgiving is an American holiday, so there isn´t really an equivalent ...don´t worry... you´re still smart :)

But! Brasil has soooo many holidays! It´s pretty cool and drive me crazy at the same time. haha

P.s. You´re still one of my best friends.
