No matter who we are, what we have done He will always love us.
I had an awesome week. We are still experiencing a lot of success finding more people to teach. We have tried doing a little more fun approaches to finding people to teach and it has worked so far. Both Elder Greer and I love sports so we have been playing basketball every Tuesday night, football every Saturday morning, and are going to start playing softball every Wednesday night. It's a lot of fun and we have built some good relationships with people who we want to start teaching. But one of the new people we started teaching this week is a guy named Valentin. He is a baller. He just moved here from Chile and is wanting to learn more. He was a professional table tennis player there and he only has one leg. Super cool dude. We had our first lesson with him this week and he had some really good questions. It's always so cool to see how talking to someone about Jesus Christ can change them. By the end of our lesson with him he had this huge smile on his face and was just so happy. It's amazing to help bring the light of Christ into the lives of others. We also had Zone Conference this week and Greer and I did our training on the name of Christ and it was so powerful. The whole meeting was powerful. We shared some personal experiences of the power of Christ's Atonement in our lives. I was really touched during it and may or not have started to cry a little bit. It was a pretty awesome meeting. Another one of the trainings was done on hope and that one in particular touched me. It's so important that we have hope. Hard times are going to come to us in life but if we have hope in Christ we can get through anything that can come our way. I love Jesus Christ. He lives and He loves us. No matter who we are, what we have done He will always love us. His Atonement is there for us to use in our lives so we can come back to Him when we have dug ourselves into a pit of despair. His arms outstretched waiting for each of us. The scripture I want to share this week says this, "Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life." That's all I have for this week. Love y'all! Have a good week!
