"O then despise not, and wonder not, but hearken unto the words of the Lord, and ask the Father in the name of Jesus for what things soever ye shall stand in need. Doubt not, but be believing and begin as in times of old, and come unto the Lord with all your heart, and work out your own salvation..." Mormon 9:27
I love this scripture. I love the phrase work out your own salvation. It is found in one other place in the Book of Mormon, in Alma 34:37. We are individually responsible for our own salvation, we have all the knowledge we need to receive for ourselves the greatest of all blessings, eternal life.



It snowed in Madrid a few weeks ago, very very rare, it didn't snow at all when I was there. Apparently it completely shut down the city. This is a picture Ester, the mom of the family that I lived with, she emailed me. It is looking out on the plaza that we lived on.
