Are You Still?

Hello Family and Friends! 

So i just have to start by exclaiming my JOY! The Tipiwais are getting baptized on Saturday and they invited me to give a talk on baptism! (This is the massive family of 12)  President kept me close so i could go the baptisms! I am so excited! Ok other than that, our area is REALLY picking up. Samantha is progressing super well. She texts us everyday the miracles that she sees. Yesterday she got kicked out of her house, but she still came to church even though she has to move! She keeps feeling the spirit super strong at Church. She asked yesterday, "Can i stay here forever?" She asks so many questions. The Tafengatoto family came to church as well! :) We saw miracles every day and Sister Fifita and i love each other more and more every day! We get to go to the temple tomorrow! Ok i just wanted to share something that really hit me this week;

You, the youth of the Church were generals in the war in heaven before this earth was.

The day will come when you will pass away into the spirit world. 

You will be enthralled by those you are meeting.

You will ask someone in which time period they lived on the earth.

"I was with Moses when he parted the Red Sea"

Another will say, "I helped build the Pyramids"

Other will proudly say "I fought next to Captain Moroni"

And as you are standing there in amazement, someone will turn to you and ask, "which Prophet's time did you live in?"

You will bow your head and whisper, "Thomas S Monson"

At that very moment a hush will fall on every hall and corridor in Heaven, and all in attendance will bow at your presence!

You were help back, in the pre-existence, for 6000 years because you were the most talented, the most obedient, the most courageous and the most righteous.

ARE YOU STILL?

so i really enjoyed reading this over and over again. I know that the war in Heaven followed us down here to earth. I know that we are here at this specific time for a reason. We are special. A line that my comp and i enjoyed reading about this week was "If the bitter cup doesn't pass, drink it and be strong." We are both really really happy and i just can't express how happy i am! Love you all!!

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
