Hello Family and friends!! This week was so amazing and made me love missionary work even more!! First we were able to celebrate DIWALI!! This made up for missing the fourth of July. I have never seen and heard so many fireworks go off in my entire life. The government even banned them and everyone was just like who cares we are doing it anyways! We were able to buy kurtas and wear them at night at the apartment. We listened to hymns and EFY music and just danced in our kurtas! That was fun and we looked dang good!!! As a side note... just for fun I was able to eat at Chilis again and that always is a good thing. This time my burger was not raw and so I did not get sick. We were able to go to the Chilis in Vasant Vihar, so I was able to see my old area and that was really weird. Time is really going fast, and i'm kinda wanting it to slow down. Well lots happened this week. We have 2 progressing investigators right now. There names are Jothi Bala and Krishen kumar! They are a married couple living in Delhi right now. We received them last Sunday and starting teaching them right away. We taught them everyday this week and had some amazing spiritual experiences together. It was so awesome to see all of the discouragement, disappointment and lack of success go away so quickly!! Hard work really does pay off and I just experienced that for myself!! Well to finish the week off I ate goat feet and I just really don't wanna explain it or describe it... it was nasty!! Well that is about it for the week. We are seeing miracles and continuing to work hard! I love missionary work. I love India and I love all of you so much!! I hope you have an amazing week!!!
Sorry this week is so short!!!!!!!
Spiritual message: Using the Atonement of Jesus Christ to forgive others
So this week we were inside more because of Diwali. President gave us certain things we had to do while being inside longer, and one of those things was to write a talk on, Using the Atonement of Jesus Christ to forgive others". Here are some things I learned while writing this talk. First The Atonement of Jesus Christ covers our infirmities( Alma 7: 11-12). Infirmities means weaknesses or imperfections! Forgiving is an imperfection or weakness for lots, so remember the atonement covers that! Second, In Mathew 6: 14-15 Jesus continues his sermon on the mount by saying that we need to forgive men their trespasses and then we will be forgiven of ours! We need to remember that Jesus Christ is the perfect source, perfect example and his atonement is perfect! Perfect meaning; Never failing!! Why do we not use it more when all he has done for us will never fail. I know that as we apply this in our lives we will feel peace, healing and the love our Savior has for us!
