Dating and relationships

It is important that when we are dating we need to spend time in a variety of activities to see how we interact and react in different scenarios. This will help the couple to know each other better. Also, it is important the time that couple spend together. Time is an important factor in a relationship because the couple will know if they want to get married. Also, it is important to talk and be honest with each other. I know that it is hard when one of the person in the relationship doesn't tell everything before get married. Therefore, people before getting married need to put everything in the table so the other person can make a decision before getting married. Dating is a wonderful time where couple can know each other. However, it is hard to find the right one among so many choices.

Gender roles

This week in class we talk about the different roles that women and men performance in our  society. It is very interesting that some of the roles can be performance by men and women. Also, we learned in class that growing up feeling different it doesn't make different in our society. There are some guys that have a lot of qualities that women can have. This doesn't define a person because this type of behaviors. The most important is what the person can become. It is the same with women. I am very grateful to learn about these differences because it makes me realize that we are different and we need to love each other.

Culture and class influences

This week was great because we had the opportunity to discuss how the many different cultures influence the way people live. However, having different cultures help us to learn from others and grow as a person. I am from Spain and I have been 10 years in this country. I can see the differences between my country and this country. The most important for me is to be able to appreciate those differences. I believe that we are children of God and no matter where we come from we can learn from each other and all together become better people and society. Another point that we touched the different class that people belong. For me, class is not important factor that determine how you are. You can have a lot of money and live humbly helping other with the resources that we have. The most important no matter what class you belong you should help others around you. I don't have a lot of money, but if I see someone needs my help, I will help this person in a blink of the eyes. We never know when we are going to need that help too. Being grateful open many doors that makes us happy and satisfy.

Spending time with family

It is important to spend time with our families to reinforce those relations that are eternal. This weekend has been really great. The reason is because I got engaged to a wonderful man that makes me very happy. I met him ten years ago when I came here to the USA. After a year, we got married in the temple. Unfortunately, I decided to get divorce because so many things happened that I did not know how to handle. The main reason that the divorce happened is because I was not putting God first in my life. I was not spending time to read the scriptures, pray together, spend time etc... I was worried about other things instead to focus in my marriage and the willing of the Lord. However, after eight moths  I got divorced I wanted to change my life. As soon I decided to do the small things I realized that I still want to be with him. So, I talked to him ( Jorge) about my feelings. We decided to start dating again. Meanwhile, we were praying and fasting and going to the temple to know is the right thing to get back together and start a new life. We felt really good about it. Therefore, this weekend he proposed me. From this experience I learned to be strong spiritually and spend time with him and not worry about money as much. The lord will provide if we are doing our part. Also, this weekend was special because we enjoyed general conference. This time of the year makes me happy because I want to be edify through the spirit. I highly recommend  to ponder all of the messages that we listened to. These messages will help us to be better disciples of Christ.
