Plan of Salvation and the Atonement! :)

My companion and I have been asked to speak in church again.  We're speaking about the Plan of Salvation and the Atonement.  I'm super excited.  Those are my favorite things to teach investigators.  We had an amazing lesson in the Young Single Adult Relief Society about it.  It was taught by a Return Sister Missionary who served her mission in Utah.  The spirit was super strong.  They told about before this life when the Plan was presented to us by our Heavenly Father we shouted for joy.  A member of the Relief Society Presidency said when she was investigating the church, it was that knowledge (that we had lived with our Heavenly Father before this life and shouted for joy at hearing of the opportunity to come to Earth) that led her to be baptized.  She said that after she heard about the Plan of Salvation, she knew she had found what she had been looking for.  Everything that the missionaries said after that just went in one ear and out the other because she could not stop thinking about it and feeling so happy :)

That's what we're focusing on with many of our investigators this week, so I'm super excited to give a talk on it in Sacrament Meeting.   :D

Elder Tad R. Callister

This week, Elder Tad R. Callister came to our mission.  We had to drive to mission headquarters.  It was super fun.  I got to see some of my former companions along with a bunch of other people I haven't seen in forever.  Elder Callister talked about the Atonement and the importance of members.  It was a fantastic talk.

A True Invitation to Learn

The Prophets and Apostles of the Lord have taught the need for missionary work throughout the whole world. The importance of the participation by all members, both missionaries and members. We are to invite all to participate in the great work of Salvation, as well as invite others to partake of the greatness of Christ's Atonement. Through Faith in His name, Repentance, Baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end. It is not about pushing people to the truth, forcing people to listen, but truly inviting everyone to come and learn. As well as taking every opportunity to share why the gospel is needed for them in their lives."

Easter Thoughts from Texas!

As a missionary, I have come to know the role Jesus Christ plays in our salvation. The Atonement is truly a miraculous gift given to us and without it, nothing we would do here on earth would be worth anything. We can truly find happiness when we base our lives on his teachings and his example. We can grow closer to him by learning of his doctrine, his teachings, and his life. His doctrine is simple and easy to understand. We live it because it is worth it.

Como misionera, yo he venido a saber cual es el papel de Jesucristo en nuestra salvación. La expiación es un don milagroso que ha sido dado a todos nosotros. Sin la expiación, no hiciéramos nada en la tierra que sería de valor. Podemos encontrar la felicidad cuando edificamos nuestras vidas en las enseñanzas de Cristo y su ejemplo. Podemos crecer a estar más cerca de él por aprender de su doctrina, sus enseñanzas, y su vida. La doctrina de Cristo es muy sencilla y fácil de entender. Nosotros la vivimos porque es re importante.
