Never Lose Sight - the confirmation of a lifetime
wow so today I received the confirmation that when Ricardo asks me to marry him - whenever that may be - I will say yes. wow!!!!!!!!I didn't expect it to be like this - but at the same time I never knew what to expect in terms of how it would happen. I only knew that it had to happen before I could accept to marry anyone.And it was there in the middle of sacrament meeting that I was thinking about what my dad and I were talking about, and I was thinking - wow, I really want to be engaged to Ricardo and marry him and so the thought came - pray about it. So right there during sacrament meeting I prayed about it - Heavenly Father, I want to be engaged to him, I want to marry him someday but I want to be engaged to him already!The answer was unmistakeable. Isn't that awesome!?!? I can't believe that it came so easily like that. It was, as soon as he wants to ask me to marry him, I should say yes. yes yes yes yes yesAnd it was crazy because I was thinking, December at the way earliest, but now it was like, well, if he asks you in October you can say yes then too. As soon as he feels it's right. And I think we are thinking of getting engaged in December and that's fine, whenever he feels so prompted to do so, because he's the one doing it. Wow I'm so excited!!! And I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father that He helped me talk to my dad because that made me feel 10 times more sure and I was already feeling good about it. And He was happy for me, and supportive. yaaaay Dad!!I am so grateful that I can someday be sealed in the temple for time and all eternity with Ricardo - Heavenly Father was preparing us for eachother and we were preparing ourselves as well. He's perfect for me and I love him soo much.I thought that receiving the confirmation was the hard part - it doesn't seem that hard at all - well, that's due to the Spirit, and thank goodness I was able to hear it. But now I know that I must continue preparing myself well. And the challenges will just keep coming, and the Enemy is definitely against me. I need to be strong and fortified like the cities that Moroni prepared for the Lamanites - I must wear all of the armor of God. I am fighting for just as good of a cause - and I know that if I do my part that my Heavenly Father will protect me from the tempations that Satan will throw in my direction.I am so happy and so excited and so is Ricardo. I am sooooooooo gratefulllll!!!!Love,StephiP.S. After receiving the confirmation, the sacrament meeting was turned over to the primary program - and the theme was about eternal families!!!! hahahahahha. All of the songs were perfectly chosen for me. I love to see the temple, armies of helaman, be still my soul I'll walk with you, baptism - well, I liked it. It was perfect for me.

P.S. My blog is called Never Lose Sight. it's from one of my favorite quotes that says, talking about temple marriage, "Never lose sight of this sacred goal." I thought you would like that.
I love you xoxoxoxoxo
