Wow this week was incredible. As sacrament and in our personal studies we focused a lot on deepening our faith in the atonement including the resurrection I learned so much!
I know I should of understood this a long time ago but every other church believes in the suffering on the cross and I was always told that we know the suffering occurred in the Garden the cross was the ending of the atonement. As we read through the accounts of Christ atonement and pray for a greater understanding. The spirit feels your mind and your heart and you are just filled
with joy. In the words of alma (my interpretation) I have felt "to sing the song of redeeming love" this weekend and oh how sweet and glorious it is to feel that feeling, I hope you feel it to (Alma 5:26). This was a great Ester holiday (even though I didn't realize till the week off
).
Some one also asked me about some experiences I've had that have shaped and change my life. Telling me that were supprised, not expecting it from a person like me. As I thought about this conversation, the spirit touched me to teach me to say " it is incredibly hard to follow God" but I know as I do my best I have never been happier.
We too rise...
Ine day this week our diligence brought great viable blessings.... we were asked to help a lady named amber move to Dayton, she has been working with missionaries in a city a bit north for a year and is preparing for Baptism! (That's a great miracle but theres more) he house has 50 stairs and we were the only two who came to help with the ability to go up and down stairs easily. After helping her were excited to work with her to be baptized in the coming weeks (hopefully).
After that event were driving and we see a Uhaul so we pull over offer our help. The person was given 3 days notice to leave and had procrastinated greatly because of other circumstances anyway she immediately was able recognize that God had sent us to her and her boyfriend at this moment of need as we came more neighbors came over following our example and asked why we were moving someone In the heat while we are in white shirts and ties, end result we have the contact info for 5 people on the street.... right when we are about to get in the car and go to a really late lunch another u haul pulls up 8 houses down the street. Are hands are cut legs bruised from dropped a full washer on us. But we said God called us here and we are hear to serve. We went over and more miracles occurred as service humbled the hearts of many that day.
I think that is good enough this week
Love y'all
