Food for Thought

Hey mom,
ok so check this out have I got some food for thought for YOU! so what are you thoughts on the New and Everlasting Covenant? obviously it is a commandment and we were told that only through this convenant would we be able to achieve the highest glory of the celecstial kingom! well I want you to grab a bible RIGHT now dont read anymore until you do! ........................................ lol ok so have you ever thought, Christ being the Son of God, how is it that he has obtained the highest Glory of the Celelstial Kingdom? granted yeah He is the Savior! but with that calling He came to earth to teach us how we can return and what we must do to recieve the highest of blessings! well I was thinking about this and I came to the conclusion (may be ignorant one but I ahve my reasonings) that to obtain that glory Christ infact TAUGHT us how to do that by being married Himself. Yeah I know its different but hear me out. In John 20 it speaks on His ressurection, and when He returned to the Tomb and found Mary Magdalin there weeping. In the Russian Translation of the Greek Bible Jesus Christ addresses her as Wife. and when she turned about Jesus Christ said "touch me not for I have not yet ascended to my Father" now look at the Joseph Smiths Translation for "touch me not" at the bottom of the page. ........... crazy huh? and also if you read on that same day he appears to His disciples and Thomas touches His body (cuts in His hands and what not) and he had not yet ascended. the begining of Acts says that He did not ascend until 40 days after He had been resurrected. and in Mathew and luke it talks about how Mary (magdalin) and the other Mary (Mary and Martha) held His feet and worshipped Him.  sooo my common sense says well.... ok so if people were allowed to touch Him as one would a diety or God than it was allowed, but with Mary's "hold me not" earlier I conclude that some kind of affection she wanted to show Him. And because all of His lifes ministry was teaching by example I think I could venture to say that He was indeed married her or else why would she act in such a way, and why would He say hold me not. it was really interesting for me, I have another one for you but I give it to you next week. because it involves visuals and I would have to draw it. I'm glad I was able to help with my email last week but it seems it didn't really prove useful, not sure what she is going to do now about anything but I guess we will see. I gave dad the site for the meridian times but I guess you already saw that lol.....yeah not the best picture of me :S the prophet was up and to OUr right hense everyone looking that way. we were suppose to be singing... but well yeah lol. oh hey I need some English teaching Ideas from you! we teach english every week and I'm running out so pllease ALONG WITH PICTURES! send a bunch next week. we head to Leviv this week so that will be fun. I'll try and take some more pictures for you all. Ask Taleya what the Ukrainian Version of "sleep tight dont let the bed bugs bite" is lol it was SOO funny. HOLD ON A SECOND! where is Taleya right now???? I thought she was in Florida? sorry this just clicked! lol I've decided the Lord is filtering out my mind and thus I have some empty space in there now and I'm trying to fill it back up!  hey mom want to tell you and dad if he is right there with you, how grateful I am to have you TWO specifically as parents! I could have had 2 of the BILLIONS of other people in the world, but you two ahve something special... and I think I saw that, you are good parents and I have learned alot from you. mom and her dreams of becoming a stewartess on the plane, I remember that time she went out for the schooling... we were all anxiously awaiting her arrival at the airport (thats when we could go in) dad sitting there trying to keep us all coralled up so that we wouldn't run all over the place. plane finally arives and all of us kids looking down the ramp to see which of the heads bobbing up and down behind the first person was our mom. finally we see you and I remember seeing a HUGE relief on dads face witha  kid in hand...lol just "oh she's here". mom hurt because she didn't quite make it in to the school.
