I
hope you all had such a great week this week! It was so great hearing from all
the adventures that are happening back home. And I thank you all for your love
and support!
I
wanted to start by sharing some feelings that I had throughout the week. Mainly
focused on my favorite subject, the Atonement. Though I feel my testimony of
the Atonement has so much room for improvement, from what I know, it is one of
the charitable acts that anyone would have done. Our savior Jesus Christ, a
perfect being, went through physical, emotional and spiritual pain that none of
us have or even could experience. This week one of the biggest parts of his
suffering that I noticed while studying came from the fact that the He went
through it alone. The savior suffered through the pains alone. His apostles
couldn't even stay awake while he was in the Garden, He cried to his father
during his hardest time. I only could sit and imagine how He must have felt. I
was listening to a talk by Elder Holland and he said something along the lines
of how the savior must have been prepared physically and temporally, but not as
well emotionally or spiritually. For me this week it was something that I was
very happy to find. That the savior knows how I feel in times where I feel
lonely or in times where I feel like I can’t do anything. He knows how I feel
and knows how to help me best in order to give comfort and guidance. I am so
very grateful.
Well
on a fun note, Elder Sturdevant and I bought stuff to make Mexican style
enchiladas which were on spot! They were super good and we still have
leftovers in the fridge :) That will be something to look forward to cooking a
lot when I have time :) I learned how to roast chilies which was super good!
