Well, a fun week happened this week. The best part is Brother Doçi. We meet with him everyday. I say brother but he isn't baptized yet. In fact he is going to be baptized this week! In every lesson we have he pretty much already knows the answers to all the questions, he is probably the most prepared person I've ever taught. (I know I say that a lot, but it really is true).
We are trying to be the most obedient possible. It is really fun to do. The more obedient you are the more blessings we recieve. We realized that we might get less blessings when we don't have to obey the white handbook when we go home...so we'll take advantage of all that we can right now. I know it's 5:52 and I can only write for a few more minutes.
I know that the atonement of jesus Christ touches our lives each day. I studied about it and I found that the atonement comes into play not to prevent mistakes, but to repair them. Each day we may ask, "How have I felt the atonement today?" Asking such a question sometimes seems broad or vague, but I've found ways to make it practical i.e. "How did I feel the spirit today?" Because each time we feel the spirit it is God telling us that we are clean; and cleanliness comes through the atonemnet. Also, the Holy Ghost is a taste of eternal life, and what is eternal life, "to know thee the only true God and Jesus Chirst whom thou hast sent." Another simple question we can ask is, "How was I given strenght today to overcome something I usually coulnd't overcome?" Now, if you ask such questions and nothing comes to mind, jsut start asking yourself "If the savior stood beside me, would I do the things I do?" Thank you mom for the primary songs. I know that as you do this, by evaluating yourself that you will have the experience that moroni described: "Yea, acome unto Christ, and be bperfected in him, andcdeny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and dlove God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be eperfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God."
oul. I know that we can become perfect. Well it's 5:59, and I must obey. Til next week.
