Hey everyone,
Well, so far this week we had the confirmation of Jomary on sunday and this is pretty much it. We had zone conference on monday, and Elder Vinas (70) came and spoke to us. He told us a few things that we need to work on in Puerto Rico and talked to us about the Atonement. Which was sweet! For someone to have a true conversion to the church they need to understand, experiment, and feel the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Understanding it is the doctrine basically, to experiment it is to repent, be baptised, and to feel the Atonement is the fruits that come from doing those things. For instance we feel joy and relief when we repent, happiness knowing that we have been forgiven of our wrong doings, and that leads to peace in our lives. But to feel the Atonement you have to go through the process. and if it is a true process the fruits will come. The same way you come to love someone, come to understand them, experiment life with them and then the feelings will come. I love you all so much, you are the best family ever! Tell Brandon and Aubrey to write me! I will be praying for Amber that everything goes well and that Parker is healthy. Thats good that Heather is alright, i always keep you guys in my prayers. I could use your prayers as well my comp doesnt like to do much. I feel like im doing everything!
