Hola a todos! Wow these two years have flown by, haven’t they

Well this last week was great. We had many inactive visits and it was very enjoyable. I really enjoyed our visit with our friend LM who has been taking lessons for the past couple of months. She has been progressing very well and has been reading the Book of Mormon. Every week we visit with her, we learn she has reached a new portion of the Book. At this moment she is in Alma 34.  One of my favorite scriptures is in that chapter in verse 32:

“For behold, this life is the time for men [and women] to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.”

We should not delay what we can do now. And growing our relationship with God is one of the most important things we can do.

It is super cool how the Lord has been doing his work here in the Payson area. 

The mission truly does bring me joy. It is hard working with companions who are also roommates but in the end it will all be worth it. Recently I have been studying a bit more about the Atonement. Can you imagine what it would have been like to be one of Christ’s friends and watch as He was killed. I cannot imagine that because I hold the atonement dear to my heart. This is what a mission does to you. It helps you make wiser decisions and when you make mistakes, you correct and learn from them.

One of my all-time favorite scriptures about the atonement is in Alma 42:23-24:

“But God ceaseth not to be God, and mercy claimeth the penitent, and mercy cometh because of the atonement; and the atonement bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead; and the resurrection of the dead bringeth back men into the presence of God; and thus they are restored into his presence, to be judged according to their works, according to the law and justice. 

For behold, justice exerciseth all his demands, and also mercy claimeth all which is her own; and thus, none but the truly penitent are saved.”

Heavenly Father loves us so much He sent His Son to pay for the mistakes we make each day. I am truly blessed to have the Atonenent in my life. Don’t take it for granted! It is a gift and we must use it often. We’ll this wraps up my week! Love you all and may you all be blessed 🙌.  

1 week remains of my mission experience. See you all really soon. 😱 😨
