A lot of the things that we soke about in class today really just brought memories back from the past. My situation was really different though, even though I was born here in knew the language things that we were custom to do in our home were just like the families we read about that had just come form Mexico. I didn't really get to go out anywhere and was always home it can get really depressing and lonely and you start thinking what has my family failed at how are we going to move along and you also get angry that everyone else around you doesn't understand , but then you realize their is some people that do understand and those are others that are going through the similar situations, so that is who you start talking to. but then that also creates a problem because you start isolating yourself from others and you could learn from them as well, thankfully for me the gospel was really what rescued my life I am so grateful that eventhough it was hard in the begenning to try to belong to two cultures now I can take the good that I have from both and embrace them. This morning in my daily scripture reading I ran into this scripture in 2 Nephi 1:5-6...5 "But, said he, nothwithstanding our afflictions, we have obtained a land of promise....Yea the Lord hath covenanted this land unto me and to my children forever, and also all those who should be led out of other countries by the hand of the Lord. 6 Wherefore, I , Lehi, prophesy according to the workings of the Spirit which is in me, that there shall none come into this land save they shall be brought by the hand of the Lord."
