This week was great. There's a family that we met
recently whose son is progressing really well. Loves coming out to
church, and has a good time with the members here. Because he's still a
student, we've been trying to focus a lot on helping his parents, but
he's doing great, and they seem really supportive.
We met a couple awesome people on the street too.
The family guy from last week is doing well. I can't remember if I
mentioned him. Recently married, turns out he has a seven month old son.
Super awesome. I have a good feeling about him. Last time we talked
with him, there was a festival going on nearby so we weren't able to
talk as long as we'd wanted, but he said he would bring his family next
time. Doesn't go to a church at the moment, but I feel like he's super
open to it if he finds one with values that he likes. And with such a
love of families, he would do so well here.
Also met a couple university students that used to
go to church when they were little and have been thinking about going
again. They were really interested in the Book of Mormon.
More and more I'm struck by the simplicity of it all. God loves us
enough to give us this opportunity to grow, and has provided the perfect
plan for us to be able to return back to him and continue to grow.
Without the Atonement, life would be empty. It would end, and with it
our hopes, dreams, and everything we live for. But because He lived, so
does our joy. Relationships formed here will continue beyond the grave.
And things learned here will bless eternities. That to me brings it all
into perspective. Take what comes and learn. And above all, Remember.
Don't let this blessed gift of experience slip away because we do not
value it. Treasure memories and lessons learned. They will never see to
enrich us.
I love you all! Have an awesome day! Until next week!
