So I was told some thing along the lines by President that if you
study the atonement, and have a better testimony, you will be able to
teach others to bring them unto repentance...I tried that this morning,
and even though the scriptures talked about a little about the
atonement, (where I was reading) the Savior was speaking, and he said
that he had sacrificed, so that we can have joy and the spirit just hit
me.
The power of the atonement is so real, and so great, it is SOOOO
important for every soul.
Jesus Christ is so perfect I am so grateful
for his endless love, and for his sacrifices. when I am reminding myself
who I represent, I remember my Savior, and try to have his same
mindset, and even though I'll never understand what he truly went
through.
I have a knowledge of some of it and it has helped me have love
for his people, I have connected with people that I would have never
connected with before my mission. And trying to lift burdens up from
people in our ward, or our investigators, anyone who we cross paths
with, and I find so much joy! And I know it is only because THIS IS HIS
WORK. And I am more effective when I have the Holy Ghost with me.
I can
truly feel his love not only for me but for everyone else.
And that
Heavenly Father truly has a plan for everyone on this earth and part of
that plan is for everyone to accept the Savior and receive God's
greatest gifts! And Endure to the End.
I can testify that as we study the
atonement, even just a little bit, we will have a stronger testimony of
it, and as we have a testimony of it, we are able to teach with the
spirit and to bring others unto repentance and be baptized, and help
finish the plan that God has in store for each individual on this earth,
and for every family.
Our baptism was great! President Harding actually
Baptized her!
She wanted to sing one of her favorite hymn's but it was a
Baptist one (ha ha) so my comp. and I got it approved to sing it as a
special musical number for her and she loved it!
Thank goodness...
There was a ward party that same after noon and
it was great turn out we had some investigators there as well, and
President showed up to that too-with his son who is 11.
We
had four investigators come to church. We are still trying to get more
member involved and motivated in the work. It's a slow progress but it's
progressing! :)
I miss y'all so much! Thank you for all the prayers!
Funny story- so the Elders had to open up the church for
us to fill up the font (cuz we don't have a key) and there were
crickets in the water (yes I know #ew) and one of the Elders was trying
to get them all out and one cricket kept hopping back into the water
every time he got it out its was so funny!!
