That's almost what this looked like only better!!! That was the first thong that popped into my head when I saw this view. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ descending from heaven at his second coming. Then I realized something, Yes this world is a very very wicked place! However The Lord sends us little reminders that there is still hope! and that He is coming and he is coming soon! How soon I don't know. But soon all of this will be over there will be no more wickedness on the earth and the world will be at peace. If we can keep the fait hand flollow his comandments. We wont have to worry about the economy or weather or not we are making ends meet. The world will be made perfect and none of this hurt that we fell today will be there. President Hinckley and many other prophets and apostles have counseled us to pray for the second coming to happen. Now I can start to understand why and as I work to become a better person everyday I also look and pray for the second coming to happen and soon!

The world around me
I'm taking The book of Revelation class at the Orem Institute of Religion this semester. Its an amazing class! I have learned so much about that book and i understand it so much more about it now then ever before and will probably be taking this class for the rest of my life so that i can gain all the knowledge from it that i can. I'm not going to lie thought parts of the class can be kinda scary. Not in a I'm shaking in my boots kinda way but more in a doubting that I'll ever be able to measure up kinda way. We are talking about the 7 seals of the book we just finished the fifth seal and are on the sixth these two seals cover the last days. AKA the days that we are living in now. There is so much evil in this world today and for the past couple of days I have been looking at it as just that Full of evil and that's it. Well even though that its true I wasn't seeing any of the good in the world today either. Until today when i was driving back to school after I was out running some errands. the best part of My university is that there is this road that isn't that busy that if you take it up to campus you can see across Utah lake and at the mountains that are on that side of the lake. Today because of the storms that we have had the Mountains had TONS of white clouds wisped across them. At this same time the sun was getting ready to set. It was poking though the clouds and IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL! I wish that i would have taken a picture of it but i didn't. The best way to describe it is you know the picture of Jesus at the Second coming? Those clouds surrounding him and glowing in His glory.

My Little Tender Merceies
This past week has been a HUGE blessing. I was able to shake Elder Robert D Hales hand. which is something that at the time I took for granted bug time!!! I have had the opportunity to meet plenty of "bug names" in the church. And for the past little while have been acting like it was no big deal. while others from out of the state of Utah were saying how badly they wish that they could meet the people that i have been blessed to be in the presence of. One girl in particular commented every time on how lucky I was. Later that day I found out that a dear friend of mine has cancer. It happened to be the girl that kept commenting on my face book page. This hit me so hard. Why was i being so blessed when my friend, a 17 year old girl in her Senior year of high school was now going through treatment for leukemia. and would be for the next 2 years. why was she there and I here? we shared a lot in common when we lived near each other, we even found out that we are related. And now two and a half years later she has cancer. i would give anything to see her right now. but have no way to do so because she is in Minnesota and i am here in Utah.
Later this week i found out that another one of my friends is going through a really difficult time right now. I wont say what it is but she is very strong because she is trying to make things right! she is suck a blessing to me.
that night i didn't know if i could handle anymore bad new for the week..not that all of it was bad but it was a lot of stressful news that's for sure. then i realized that my best friend just gave up a relationship with and amazing guy. She was totally happy with him and everyone approved of him. in fact i was so excited for them i thought for sure that they would be getting married within the nest year. and from what i understand so did they. But because they were having a bad feeling about continuing their relationship they called it off. Which is something that i cant even imagine doing or even imagine how hard it was for her. She has been such a blessing in my life and I really cant wait for the day that she gets married because she deserves to be so happy. she is my best friend and sister i don't know where i would be with out her in my life today.
these three girls have become my hero's this week. they have taught me amazing lessons. ones that i couldn't have ever learned with out them. I'm so thankful that the Lord has placed all three of them in my life. I am forever grateful for these girls and many many others. The Lord is looking out for us and he loves us! I know that if we rely on him we will be able to get through the worst. WE ARE LOVED! if only we could remember that.
Revelations 7:14-17
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came aout of great btribulation, and have cwashed their robes, and made them dwhite in the eblood of the fLamb.
