I'M SO HAPPY Y'ALL. TEXAS IS THE BEST PLACE ON THE EARTH. I'm totally sounding like an annoying missionary but I'm so happy to be in the great state of Texas serving.
This week was a blessing. We are teaching a bunch and have some amazing people lined up to come even close to Heavenly Father. I love feeling the spirit and coming close to my Father daily.
Quick little sermon for y'all about my man Jesus Christ:
Read Luke 22:39-44. It's powerful. It talks about the Savior suffering for us in the garden of Gethsemene. We learn about the blood dripping. Think of the agony that came with that. Humans pass out when they get in so much pain they can't handle it. The Savior was the son of God and not just human, so He didn't have the luxury to pass out. He loves us so much that He suffered that pain just for us. People also think that every sin had a drop but the truth is that His blood dripping was eternal and infinite. No matter how many sins or pains we have, His blood will be sufficient for us.
Now read Alma 7:11-13. The Book of Mormon adds even more detail about this event. Christ suffered more than just bleeding for us. He suffer pains, temptations, and afflictions so He would know how to succor His people. That means He knows how to help us and how to fix us. Christ can heal. Christ can fix. All we have to do is ask Him to and then follow Him. I love my Savior sooooo much.
Now read 2 Nephi 9:7 then Alma 34:6-10. His atonement is infinite. It covers everything. Reach out to Him when you need it. I'm so thankful for my Savior and all that He has and will do for me. He heals and He cleanses. As we reach out to Him, we can be fixed.
I love being a missionary and spreading the good word. Thankful for all my many blessings. God bless and love y'all!
