Ohhhh Goodness this week 

Dec 22 at 11:40 AM

this week was full of questions for me and a lot of really interesting and difficult studying. one of my biggest questions i have yet to solve is What are the blessings and/or responsibilities of the Tribe of manasseh. i seriously sat down for like 4 hour yearterday and studyed it all so i know Josephs blessings where passed down to his sons Ephriam and Manasseh but what is Manassehs job cause his younger brother ephriams job is to bring all the tribes together in the last days which is missionary work. but i have yet to find a scripture that tells what the Tribe Of Manassehs job is in the latter days. idk i think its also interesting that Ephriam the younger brother was favored over his older brother Manasseh just like Nefi was favored over his elder brother lamen. its interesting in the bible the people of ephriam where seen as a more richous and faithful people but in the book of mormon the Lamenites/ people of Mannaseh where a more faithful and  valiant people. and thats only the tip of the ice burg. its crazy how related the book of mormon and bible are! idk i still have a lot to meditate on and study but dang its amazing how revelation works and how god is in our hearts and thoughts 24/7. these days and hours of study all happened just because i prayed to know what my purpose was in this life. and as soon as i got done with my prayer i opened my book of mormon and there my patriarchal blessing was and my eye just caught the paragraph about my tribe. then throughout my study when i was looking for a certain scripture or answer i would just open the bible and book of mormon and read and there would be my answer its was a huge testimony builder for me because until now i had never really seen myself as worthy for revelation i always thought that it was sort of a prophet thing but dang.... i had so many questions answered and so many deep dark beliefs changed thru reading and meditating that its hard to believe that my heavenly father wasn't revealing the mystery's of the Gospel to me.

IM SO DANG EXCITED!!! I LEAVE FOR CORDOBA MONDAY AT 8:30!!!! its like a 13 hr flight to Buenos Aires then im guessing they bus me up another 5-6 hrs to cordoba. im soooo ready to leave the mtc is starting to get to me! and im SO tired of speaking english ! im praying for a native trainer so i can figure the language out faster! im tired of looking like a native but not being able to speak like one !
