Man this week has been a busy week for Elder Terry and I. For starters we had interviews this week with Presidente Haynie, and then we had a lot of things that happened to some families who we are really close with in our area. Make sure that you include the familia Sanchez y Mejia in your prayers this week they are both going through a very rough time. Other than that our teaching pool is actually decreasing in the number a persons we're finding because we have turned our focus to working purely with members and recent converts.
This week though we were able to find one person as a result of a weird referral that actually was referred to us 3 times. We were finally able to meet this guy when he came not only to the 9 o'clock church hour but also to our meeting at 11o'clock. Anyways this guy is super cool his name is Hernan and he's got a small family of 2 kids. He seems very interested in the message and said that he absolutely loved church. However sometimes he has a hard time understanding things completely. But we promised him that through prayer he could ask god for the help and guidance he needs to understand the scriptures.
Another thing thats been on my mind since Interviews with president and Zone Conference with Elder Nielsen is the atonement. From my interview I've learned that in order to access the full enabling power of the atonement we have to clean out the Cobwebs in the corners of our life. This means that we take an honest look at ourselves and write down all the things that we are doing that are not in line with the Fathers will. And then we start to repent of those things and change them so that they are in line. Let me tell you its not an easy thing to do but you will feel so much closer to Christ and nothing in this world can replace what you will gain from aligning your will with the Father's.
The Atonement of Jesus Christ is real, and with it we can change not only our lives but we can also help others change theirs. I would invite you to study David A. Bednars article in the 2012 April Ensign titled: The Atonement and the Journey of Mortality. Pay attention to the way it outlines the enabling power of the Atonement used in the scriptures. Les quiero a todos, les espero que puedan aprender y crecer su concimiento de la expiacion de jesucristo. A traves de este conocimiento se van a tener el Espiritu mas abundantamente en sus vidas. Se cuidan!!!!
