So I hope that cycle works called you... I took my bike in
last Monday... and they said that they would get everything squared away.
Well this week was pretty great... had a few tough days, but
that happens! We had a baptism on Saturday! Our 9 year old investigator was
baptized! I am so proud of him! I love this little kiddo so much! And his
family is incredible! im so excited to watch him grow in the gospel!
We had a neat experience this week, we were checking on
less active members, it was like 7:30 pm and we walk up to a door to see if
this member will let us in. We knocked on the door and a man answers the
door... we ask for the member and he tells us that she has recently
passed away :( He is her son. I then had the prompting to ask him if he
was a member... he said no, but that he would be interested in
hearing more, because he needs something more in his life with the recent loss
of his mom and now his dad is in the hospital and things aren't looking good. He
is totally open and humble! I could hear the sadness in his voice as he
continued to talk to us. My heart ached for him, but also rejoiced for him too,
because I know that Christ is his savior and that the gospel can heal even his
deepest hurt. I know, because that is what it has done for me! The
atonement is such a wonderful thing! I am so excited to begin teaching
him... unfortunately, I wont be here for his entire process, but I am so
excited to bare my testimony to him and let him know that everything
will be fine! I love the gospel, I love the change it brings about in people's
lives and I love to watch as people who have been worn by life's trials start
to trust God, and they make changes and then they allow the
savior to mold them into the person that he sees them as! they become
happier, not because life is perfect, but because they now know that there is
someone that they can turn to when life. I love the scripture in 2 Nephi 25:26
that says "And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach
of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our
prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a
remission of their sins." and I would add " the ease of
their burdens, the mending of their broken hearts, the erasing of
their doubt, fear and discouragement, everything that we face in this life
can be eased by the savior through is infinite atonement. This is the most
important work to our father in heaven, to make sure that all his children
know of Christ and his atonement so that they can utilize it in their
lives for their salvation!
Well I hope yall are still reading along in the book of
Mormon... I realized that I may have counted wrong because looks like we
will be finished a bit before I get home.... :)
well family, have a great week.... ill see you
soon!
