so this week has been a rather power packed one. this month actually was awesome. Where should I start.
Last weekend there was Youth Conference! Combined Beijing Shanghai District Conference was rather awesome. Met some cool people.
Like Marissa Cox. Her dad is the Branch President of the Beijing Branch and he used to live in Singapore because his dad used to be a mission president in the 1970s. Then theres Jonathan a Venezuelan dude who bunked with me. Spoke very little english. Off to serve his mission in less than a month. Awesome testimony.
Then found that SIngapore person living in Shanghai. lol. Kimberly. small world no?

THen there was the Acoustic at Andes gig on tuesday. great experience, great turnout. sang the songs i wanted to~made the jokes i wanted to. album would be burned soon i think. i guess. i hope.

To round of the awesomeness, took part in the All China Gaelic and Rugby Championship on saturday. I was the youngest player. lol. got into the semi-finals tho so that was good. In one game this dude was super mad at me coz he claimed i tackled him to rough. but pleaseee. he was like 2 heads taller than me can...but good run. had a great run with my team.

well...parents are going a little cranky. i'll update more tomorrow!

Some random cool stuff~(Part 2)

This is the equivalent of Kandace's temporary post. Minus the cool picture. and Minus the intellectual banter. haha

Something cool learned today in church again. It wasn't the nails that kept Christ on the cross. It was His pure love for us. In Heaven, God asked for someone to be our Savior. Christ got chosen. He was to suffer for our sins and did so in the garden of Gethsemane. But in the end, He also suffered for all our ailments, illnesses, sadness, heartaches, pains...EVEN THOUGH that wasn't part of the contract that he agreed to in Heaven. He decided to suffer it for us. So that instead of just redeeming us. He can now put His arms around us. And say to us. Be of good cheer. I have suffered even as thee. Be of good cheer. It soon shall pass.

Doctrine and Covenants 122:8 "The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?"

I used to be confused over this scripture. If He is below all, how can He be greater than us. Received this thought halfway through class today. Because He descended below all things, because He experienced everything. He knows how to help us rise above out daily difficulties. There is now no human problem beyond his capability to solve.

In army terms, Christ went beyond his call of duty. He is a true example of servant leadership.
This is just a thought for this Easter Season. (:
