I must confess that I have put off writing my blog for this assignment. We are to post what we have learned and share that with others. What I have learned this week is that my Heavenly Father loves me and that Jesus Christ died for me. I have always known this and have a strong testimony and a knowledge but this week I really needed to have reminder. 

As part of our Gathering our teacher had a student read from 3 Nephi when the Savior came to visit the righteous in the Americas after his resurrection. What made it amazing was that she had us close our eyes and picture us being a part of that visitation. Each one of us had tears in our eyes when Mike finished reading. I felt that I was there and touched the wounds in his hands and in his side. It renewed my spirit and brought home the fact that Jesus Christ is MY Savior. 

One of my favorite hymns is "I Stand All Amazed". The second verse always hits home to me. "I marvel that he would descend from his throne divine, to rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine." I always feel that is me, and I am so grateful that He made that sacrifice so that I can return to my heavenly home, if I make the right decisions. 

I am grateful for the Pathway program that is helping me to stay grounded in the gospel and also helping me to be able to study the scriptures and learn what I need to learn.
