This week has been most righteous!!!
We've seen miracle after miracle this week!! First miracle, is a couple we are teaching
weren't married but on Monday they decided that they needed to get married so out
of nowhere they drove up to Kalispell and got married after 8 years of living
together!! They are going to be baptized
on the 29th of April!! So excited
there!!
Then on Tuesday we helped our recent convert
roof his house and man the wind can blow up here!! Must have lost the tolerance I built up in great
falls from all the wind 😅
but it was super awesome and Elder Anderson started singing high school musical
on the roof... I may have joined in but that's beside the point!! 😅
It was also super awesome on Wednesday because
1) I gave a kick-butt discussion in our district meeting about the Holy Ghost
and major shout out to Elder Anderson’s mom for sending the Holy Ghost light thing!!
I was able to use it and it was sweet!! And
2) we were able to go to mutual with the young men and every single priest was
there from what Elder Anderson told me!! And we get along with them all really
great!!! :) so that's awesome!!
Then on Friday we had the opportunity to go to a
spaghetti dinner at the middle school with a member and we talked to quite a
few people and ran into a really awesome member family there!! Her oldest daughter hasn't been baptized yet
and she really wants us to teach her daughter so hopefully we can do that. She also had us over for egg dying and dinner
on Saturday and she took us to sushi!! 😭😍 I haven't had that since I was back home!! It was so good and I missed it so much!! I’m not sure her daughters liked it very much 😅
After that we decided that we needed to take
some pictures. So we took a few and we went
on an adventure on this tiny hill kind of thing super close to our house. We took a few pictures there then on the way
back this guy drives his forklift up the path and he stops us and tells us that
this is a private drive and that we shouldn't come back... so we have to cross
that off our picture taking spots 😅.
After that we found this road and it leads
us to this super sweet stream!! It was
awesome and as we climbed higher snow started popping up!! So we got a bit stuck and then got out.
Then on Sunday we had lots of people come to
church!! (I think Easter played a big
role) but it was super awesome. I don't
know what it is but the spirit that I feel when I hear about the atonement is
so much different than when I hear about the Book of Mormon or Joseph smith. When I hear about the restoration and the Book
of Mormon I get fired up about it and I'm like "I can tell you loads about
these things!!!" But when I hear or talk about the atonement and Christ’s sacrifice
I don't get fired up, I get emotional!! Like
what?? But it's true!! When I was in sacrament meeting I almost
started crying a few times, true story. There's
just something about the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ that gets
me every time. Just to know that because
of him all things are possible. Without
him there wouldn't be a point to it all. We would be stuck with our sins with
no hope of repentance and redemption. We
wouldn't be able to live with our Father in Heaven and that's the bottom line. I know some don’t believe that there is a
Father in Heaven but my heart tells me otherwise. Because of what He did for us we can live with
Him again!! He paid the price so we
don't have to!! We owe our Savior and
our Heavenly Father so much yet they ask for so little. They
ask us to keep the commandments... that's it. Heavenly Father put together an amazing and
perfect plan for us and he's given us the opportunity to receive perfect, resurrected
bodies. Christ suffered, died and rose
from the dead for us so that we can live with God again and all that's asked of
us is to obey the commandments. We've
been given the best deal in the history of forever!! But do we see it as that?? Maybe, maybe not. But in the end it's up to us to choose whether
we want to live the commandments and return to Heavenly Father or not.
Love you guys!
Love,
