Caught a Mouse

Oi Tudo Bem??! 

I hope all is well with everyone back home.  You are all in my prayers every night and you should feel loved because I am nice enough to put you into my thoughts :)  Just kidding it´s a pleasure!  Anyway this week was sort of strange.  Great, but strange.  Just finished my first transfer and the other two missionaries that were living with me and Elder waldon went home.  So we got new missionaries and the first couple of days were sort of annoying because they weren´t really getting along.  But now they are so it´s alright :)  

So we have been looking for people and didn´t really have that much success.  Not to many of our appointments worked out.  A lot of people were gone.  Somehow it all worked out.  We found two really good investigators and are hoping to baptise three this week,,.,..  and that´s about it for this week it was pretty amazing.

This week my heart has been drawn to the sacred attonement of our savior Jesus Christ.  I searched the scribetures and there are but few things that talk directly about it.  The only thing we really know is that he felt every kind of affliction and pain that you felt.  He payed the price for the sins YOU commited.  And he bled from everypore so that you can have the opportunity to return to your father in heaven.  Looking at this we can see that this accomplished a lot. I wrote a couple of sentences but I decided to delete them.  I can´t really explain the attonement because it´s something that you have to find out more for yourself.  I will say however that this is litilarly the key to our salvation.  If Christ would have just come to the earth lived a perfect life but not have completed the attonement.  It would have been pointless for us.  We all would have been damned.  But because he humbled himself to the will of his father we recieve the gift of immortality.  But not Eternal life.  This is where we decide if we want to go after true lasting happiness, or become swallowed up in sin.  You can´t stand in the middle of the road or else you will be hit by both sides of traffic.  

I absolutely love my Heavenly Father, and my Savior for giving me this opportunity to learn and grow.  Because of the Savior Jesus Christ, we can have eternal life

Have a wonderful week  I love you all
