Go in peace

hey everyone! I'm so sorry that i didn't post yesterday but i was out with the missionaries, and as soon as i left them i got a call from my mom saying that my grandpa was getting taken to the hospital via ambulance, and she was in St George and couldn't be there so she asked me to go be with my grandparents while in the er. so, i went and sat with them in the er for about 5 hours, just to find out that my grandpa's test results all came back clear. and he could go home. so i am happy to announce that he is home and well. he just had a little fever. nothing was wrong with him as far as anyone knows. :)
now on the scriptures.
so, this year in gospel doctrine we are starting the New Testament. i am so excited to be teaching it. i am especially excited to be teaching the parables. we have been doing scripture study during the week for the last few months as friends. we have done all of the parables, it has been so fun to have a study group during the week to help keep the spirit with us during the week and not just on Sundays.
what are your favorite scriptures from the New Testament? i have a couple, i love the scripture where the harlot is brought before Christ and is about to be stoned, and then Christ tell the the scribes and pharisees that are about to stone her " He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."  then he asked her "Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?" and she said "No man, Lord. "And Jesus said unto her, Neither do Icondemn thee: go, and sin no more." that scripture teaches so much a bout thinking that we are better than anyone else. and teaching us to love others and not be so quick to judge but help those that struggle to change, and to come unto the Lord. it teaches us to forgive others of their trespasses, and love them as he has loved them.
my other favorite story in the New Testament is of the woman that is sick and no one will go near her, and all she wants to do is touch the robe of Jesus Christ and she knows that if she can just touch his robe she will be healed.  
Mark 5:25-34 "25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague." this scripture is such an example of faith. this woman had such incredible faith that by only touching the garment of Jesus Christ she knew that she would be healed. i want to have such faith. this woman has always been such an inspiration to me. it just goes to show how faith can work within you and as long as you have enough faith miracles can happen. such as being healed of a 12 year long blood disease. there is a beautiful song by Jessie Clark Funk that talks about this amazing woman it is one of my favorite songs, so here it is. 

til next Sunday!
