In seminary today we had a nice Brother from my ward, Brother McComis, dress up as Amulek and read Alma 34 to our class. He read it as if we were the people he was teaching us. The topic mainly covered was the atonement. A topic brought up that really caught my attention, however, was repentance. I find repentance intriguing because its amazing how much power we have over our own lives. We have the power to choose between right and wrong and we have the power to admit what we've done wrong and be humble enough to ask for forgiveness. After he spoke to us, Sis. M have us a couple of quotes that we had to answer questions over and I found the quotes to be really thought provoking and different. This one is about repentance,

I love that because I've found it very fitting and true when I've repented for things in my life. Of course we repent if we break a commandment but have you ever pondered over what the most important commandment is? Well this quote from president Harold B. Lee has the answer for you!

And I did save the best quote for last!!

It amazes me that Jesus was literally half human half God (I couldn't stop thinking of Hercules as I read this:) ). The power that Jesus has to be able to sacrifice himself because no other being on earth could have done it. It was so unselfish and loving of Jesus Christ to die for us and it really helps my heart to grow to be more loving towards others.

XOXO,
