I am so close to being done with the Book of Mormon. I have been using my "100 day" reading checklist which has helped me a ton! It's all just so crazy and I can't wait for the amazing adventure ahead of me!
I have noticed how much satan has been trying to attack me before I go which I heard is totally normal for pre-missionaries because he simply just doesn't want you to go. SATAN IS DUMB. End of story.
The Mesa Temple is closed for cleaning until later this month which I am super bummed about, but can't wait to go again and again before I leave!!! I love the temple. It's just a perfect place to find peace and answers to prayer. I had the chance to go through with Lexie for her first time on July 13th. There were A LOT of people there and they had us meditate and ponder the temple as we waited for people to be done. I just prayed really hard and started off by saying, "Heavenly Father. Please help me know.. and before I said anything else, I had this HUGE thought run through my mind saying to me, "Gracie. My daughter. YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS IS TRUE." Chills ran through me as I thought to myself, "duh. Gracie. You do know it's true. Just trust in the Lord."
I am so grateful for this gospel and for prayer and for the scriptures. Heavenly Father is mindful of us all and wants us to return to him with honor. :)
