This week was a great week. We had Stake Conference and it was awesome! Elder Pementel of the 70 came. He decided to do a meeting before just for recent converts and investigators. It was so cool. He shared lots of good things. During the normal meeting, he talked about understanding the Atonement and the Love of God. It was such an awesome meeting. It is cool how understanding the Atonement better leads us to understand how much God loves us. Because of that we also start to have a stronger desire to share the Gospel with others. It is really cool.
My challenge for this week is for all of you to learn more about the Atonement. Read in the scriptures about it. Pray to be able to understand it better. Then use it! There is no point in having it there if we don't use it. It is so amazing that the Atonement helps us overcome all suffering. It helps us with suffering we feel because we sinned, but it also helps us overcome the suffering that we feel from things that are not our fault. To start, all we have to do is pray and ask. If we do that with faith, then we can find relief and find true happiness. It's amazing to think that God and Jesus Christ love us so much, that this can be possible. That through Christ we can overcome all things!
Well, I didn't have any funny stories or anything this week, but have a good day and don't forget the challenge,
