first full week with a latin comp went smoothly. i think ive grown alot through confusion and being lost haha. but ultimately its a blessing to be tried to your limits. in the book of mormon there is an ever occuring pattern of rightousness followed by blessings of wealth followed by people starting to be prideful to falling away then to being chastened until they come all the way back around to being rightous again haha. and the reason they are chastened is because God loves them so much that he doesnt want them to stay in their prideful state and he wants them to progress. you cant really progress without trial so he gives them trials and when they make it through them they have grown stronger and have come back to Him who chastened them from thier own faults. if you think about it we are kind of like dogs. you can love your dog like none other and things are fine. then one day your dog does something its not supposed to and then it gets its nose rubbed in it or sent outside or locked in its cage. after that punishment the dog comes back to you and loves you even more. i know thats kind of a lame anology haha but all the same it makes sense to me. God loves us and when we mess up we get the consequences of our actions, then he helps us through the consequences and we love him even more afterwards. this has been your five minutes of elder summers, love you all, have a fantastic week, good luck!
