Another great week

Dear familia,

So we have another week in the record books! Everyday just gets better and better. Elder Merrell and I are working our tails off and loving every second of it. It is just so darn fun to look for people to share the gospel. Its not easy but nothing great in life comes easy.

This past sunday while we were i sacrament meeting I had the chance to think about our Savior Jesus Christ and what He did for us. A scripture came to my head so I pulled our my scriptures and read it. It was Alma 7:11-12 and says:

11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions andtemptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

 12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succorhis people according to their infirmities.

I started to think about how Jesus Christ suffered for all of us for many reasons was so he could know how to succor us. After, another scripture came to my mind, Lucas 22: 31-32 (something that aunt Heidi shared with me in the MTC) :

  

31 ¶And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desiredto have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

I started to think about the trials that we all have in life and why we have them. Yes we have trials so that we can come closer to our Heavenly Father and become stronger but their is something more. But having certain trials in our lives we can then go help others that are going throught the same thing.

It was something interesting that I was thinking about the other day jaja. Just know that all is well in the mission and miracles are all around us. Love you all
