My Dream is to have BYU in Sicily. <3. Only 2 classes in Italian. All other classes are only in English. Same need for, written, understanding acceptance of all recent guide lines. BYU in Sicily reenforcing righteousness and Education for the First time in Europe. I even know where it could go, ; > true ; > Disney was going to be there but because of slow bureaucracy, they then, went to France. There is a good place where it can be built.
All in God's hand and in His time <3 INJC <3 Great Talk <3 Blessings Smiles

Sunlight pours through oblique cloudburst entanglements
Rays push past the heavy hearted disturbance
Teardrops give way to rainbow configurations
Passionate arms burst unhindered in quiet winds of whisper
Heavens eyes give consideration to the innumerable injured
Judgement forsaken in tornado perforations
Forbearance deemed worthy in the sanctified maturation
Journeys upon life lead to struggled divine benediction
Uplifting concourse our perpetual reach to glorious understanding
Regard in nature symbolic to humanitarian recognition
Accession to the holy kingdom on condition to loving in Christ's reflection
Creating an atmosphere ripened in gentle petals of empathized compassion
Children of our Father coming together in a snowflake reawakening
Acquiescence fervor devoted to be our true essence
Laying upon the ground our sins of ego driven egregious publications
Raising in admiration for selfless beats in chorus sensations
Music in the trees swaying in praise to the soul's immortal temperament
Giving of our selves to the Lord's encompassing betterment
Figures of angelic purposeful revelations
Guiding us in the forest of serene awareness
Acknowledging truths under parable exultation
Leaves falling in a masterpiece of anointed baptismal declaration
In tune we seek the pure temple of the enlightened saints of temperance
Searching to be recognized as God's imperfect innocents
Unifying one another under a blessed symbiosis
Stars align in pristine unmitigated compilations
Correlating a dance in a effecting mesmerized purification
Bringing us full circle towards a elegant significance
Charitable communion our incite in perceptions
Into the lush meadows of warmth in thoughtful comparisons
Avow to relish our strengths in asymmetrical felcitations
This our joint accedence in fulfilling of the sacred promise
For love has no recourse accept to give in true accordance

I am a poet. This is a poem I just wrote inspired by this amazing speech. I am newly converted but been immersing myself in talks and videos here on the LDS YouTube channels and already finished all the videos in the LDS library app. It's been informative, inspiring and calming to learn all I can but this speech truly spoke to me in stunning empathy.

I dreamed of sending my kids to study in BYU because of the balance teaching and for them to be more spirituality mature.
