My Testimony

My Testimony:
I know that the Atonement is real and that we can all enjoy the cleansing power that it provides. I am grateful for my Savior for performing the Atonement so that I can return to my Father in Heaven. I am grateful for missionary service. I am thankful that missionaries world-wide have the opportunity to bring the fullest blessings of the Atonement to faithful children of God. I know that the Bible and The Book of Mormon are inspired scriptures and are here for our behalf. I owe everything to all of those prophets of old that loved us so much and desired so much for our salvation to write down the words on how we can be saved. We are literally children of a loving Heavenly Father and He wants us to return to Him. I know that Jesus is the Christ. And I love the joy the gospel brings with the knowledge that we can be together with our families for all eternity.

Email Update: May 7, 2012

Hey family! So this past week we taught a other lesson to our eternal gator Guillermo. It was mainly a question and answer meeting but it was really good. He asked a lot of questions some of which were pretty deep. Some questions he asked were "Do we believe that we have a heavenly mother?  Do we hate black people? was Jesus a god? and Why do y'all believe that other people help create the world when the Bible says only God did, etc." It was really neat to have the spirit work through me to answer his questions. He accepted all the answers we gave him and said that they really make sense. We continued with success with the less actives. We also had Stake Conference on Sunday. Elder Packer of the Seventy (son of President Packer) came and participated in the conference also President Bradshaw who is the president of the Houston Temple spoke.  I really enjoyed his talk which opened my eyes to eternal principles of family history work.

This past week I really dove into my studies and lessons for teaching on the atonement and eternal families.

I really appreciate all that y'all are doing to help me out when I get home by providing job options and car and clothing arrangements. Y'all are definitely easing worries that I have had on my mind.

am waiting to see the attachment of President Hansen's talk at Elder Alders funeral. I love y'all. Also if it's okay with y'all,  I would like to Skype y'all on Sunday. Please pray for me this week because I have no idea yet on what I want my talk to be about on Mother's day.  Bishop gave me the freedom to choose plus it will be for a missionary's homecoming ha ha. Thank you again. Can't wait to talk to y'all on Sunday
