our fav facundo is traveling to montevideo for a month we are HEARTBROKEN!! so hopefully he reads his scriptures and pamphlets cuz we all know thats what a teenage boy would do while on vacation;)))))) #faith

familia cuellos returned this week from their WAY TOO LONG VACATION!! they took a picture of our names in the sand and showed it to us haha legit we are their daughters and they are our parents here!

how beautiful was the funeral of president monson. here are a few of my notes:) things to be, do, and work on. today is the day my friends!

- "well done my good and faithful servant" (faithful)

- continue in the prophet and lords path of loving and serving.

- "i feel i have done some good in the world today"  

- "i know that girl, she did her best."

- everyone considered president monson a friend before they met him.

- "cheerfully go on"

- everywhere he went, he went about doing good and people felt the love of god through him.

- caring for others happened often in the ministry of president thomas s monson. whenever he showed up to offer a service the people would say "i knew you would come." 

-"the lord will be with you in your faithful service of him"

-"he felt no fear because he knew the lord went before him"

- "there will never be another like him"

- "we are all better because of him"

- "never let a problem to be solved, become more important than a person to be loved"

- "not sought his own life, but my will, without unweariness" 

i love the word unweariness in that. its easy to become a little bit weary at times. but this life isnt easy because the atonement wasnt easy. but this life is joyful because the gift of the atonement can bring us joy<3
