Hello everyone! How are you all? I really wish I could see everyone but still pressing on in the great work that is the Lord's. So I have finally moved areas as I think I mentioned last week but I am now currently in Mission, TX. The name of the area is La Homa and it is very well known throughout the mission. Lots of baptisms have happened and the members are all so nice and amazing. Church was really great yesterday and the Spirit of the Lord was certainly present amongst us. But still taking in the change. I am now companions with Elder Spencer. He is great, dedicated and diligent. Were going to have fun and success together.
Dont have too much time but the enabling power of the Atonement is a part that sometimes Id imagine we overlook, or at least I do every now and then. The Atonement is amazing because yes, it allows us to be forgiven to try again but the other part of it is the try again part. God, our Father in Heaven can see our divine potential, heck, He made us so of course He knows what His creations can and will become. Upon coming to this earth by our choice, our goal is to become what we once were and grow and learn and master all things that would have us stay comfortable and undeveloped down below where He wants us. This is the power of the enablement of the Atonement of Christ. Every trial we're given we already knew how to overcome and succeed and our spirits have this capability. But once we understand and receive confirmation by the Holy Ghost, then are we much more able to endure well, and joyfully. Never give up on anything. We can either be "immortal couch potatoes", or become Eternal Beings just as God is and fulfill what our divine potential was before again. I know this to be the truth. Everything we want to be really does depend on our choices, for actions, moods, and what we believe/know is the truth. As a fulltime 2 year missionary of the Lord I testify of this and as a forever child of God, I will say this forever. Christ lives and is the Savior! Did more for us than just die for our sins. Made the way possible for us to grow and become like God. But choose to do so, or its the couch for eternity, never able to get up again.
