Buna Ziua!
How are you all? Thank you for all your letters and your prayers. I feel them helping me everyday.
This last week was a mixture of everything. We had a lot of dropped lessons, but we met some really awesome people that we are starting to teach. The best part is that we had 3 investigators come to church and 4 less actives come! We forget how important and how much we learn just from coming to church and partaking of the sacrament. There is a spirit there that cannot come from any lesson that we teach. More importantly we recognize that Christ's atonement and our baptismal covenants need to be placed in the center of our lives. As we do this, our priorities will be placed in order, balance will come into our lives, and God will bless us with the blessings he is just waiting to give us.
So I just have a small thought to share with you all today. I was reading from Elder Oaks conference talk on Sunday of this last conference. In part of it he talks of how he was talking with a less active sister that had started coming back to church. To give her encouragement he told her after all Christ has done for us it is very little for us to serve him and come to church each week. They ladies response shocked him. She responded "What has Christ done for me?" When I read that my jaw literally dropped. As I pondered that question I thought about all that Christ has done for me. It is an endless list of blessings, trials, lessons, opportunities, and people that have been placed in my life because he loves me. May we always remember to take time our of our busy days to remember that "tender mercies" that God places in our lives. He is mindful of us. He loves us. He wants to bless us. He knows us perfectly and individually. I know that through Christ's atonement we find joy that cannot be found anywhere else. I know that Christ is ready to bless us, we just need to follow him.
Psalms 145:9 "The lord is good to all and his tender mercies are over all his works."
