Natural Bridges

Went to Natural Bridges for the weekend. Amazing! It's the darkest place in Utah so once the moon goes to bed the stars are phenomenal.  Highlights of the trip: Natural Bridges of course, Lake Powell, Adobe hut, whistling, driving for hours and hours, the beautiful landscape that is SO unique, conversations about gospel topics, learning to use my camera, and realizing that I am so incredibly blessed to have two amazing people in my life like the friends that I went with and also that I have the gospel in my life. The Lord loves his children.  I love the words in 1 Nephi 11:


  16 And he said unto me: Knowest thou the condescension of God?

 17 And I said unto him: I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things.

What a beautiful statement. I don't know everything, but I do know if I trust in God and am obedient to his commandments that things will work out and I'll be ok because God loves me and wants me to become the best I can be.  I also learned this weekend that if we desire to understand something better, we can and we will. It just takes time, patience, and faith. And it helps to talk with other poeple as well. Many times other people have a different perspective that we don't that can help us understand. After all we weren't put on Earth by ourselves, we might as well help each other improve and learn while we're here with a billion of them.  People can teach you cool things. Like whistling. I whistled like 8 times on the trip. I'm making progress.
