Feliz Año Nuevo!! Yay for 2018! Gonna be a big year, so go
make some big goals. :)
To be honest, this week was filled with a lot of false
hope from investigators, so not too much to update. But it's all good because
today's a new day. It's a new week, and a new year too!
In my studies this week,
I found myself getting stuck on the same topic every single day. The atonement
of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for the atonement. The atonement is the only
way that we can make it back to our father in Heaven one day. I believe that
every single one of us should have to experience just a little bit of what
Christ experienced. Because when we have trials, hardships, we rely on him. We
need his help, and his help is always available to us. I know that the Savior
came to earth to suffer and die for us, but as Elder Bednar said, he wants to LIVE in
each and every one of us. He wants to help us, guide us, and give us the power
to overcome the trials. The atonement is for the sinners, but it's just as much
for the saints. It helps the bad people turn to good people and the good people
turn to better people. It helps us strive to become our best selves. Thanks to
the infinite atonement, we can repent. We can feel free from the guilt, the
pain, because we get second chances. The Savior knows us. He knows the silent
pleadings of our hearts, and he understands us perfectly. Every ounce of pain
he felt was for you and for me. The key is that we just have to let him in. Let
him LIVE in us. Turn to him!
I love the words of Elder Holland: "With the
gift of the atonement of Jesus Christ and the strength of heaven to help us, we
CAN improve. And the great thing about the gospel is we get credit for trying,
even if we don't always succeed." Put your trust in him, he is there to
help us. And keep HIM in mind as we set our goals for this year. Sorry for a
short email, have a great week!
