Well, I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Mine was AMAZING aside from the stomach pains from having 4 meals within 6 hours. I still haven't recovered.
I wish I could express to all of you all the miracles we have seen here. If only I was better at writing, but I guess this will have to do. Do all of you understand the power of the atonement? I thought I did, but after the past few days I realized that what I know doesn't even scratch the surface. All I can do is testify to all of you that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. He suffered and died for us. Not only so that we could be forgiven of our sins, but so that every pain and sickness, every kind of suffering could be relieved. Any burden that you have can be placed at the feet of the Lord because He has already picked them up for you. The only person that is keeping us from being happy is ourself. Don't hold on to your sorrows! Give them to the Savior. He is ready to lift us and to make us better. We just have to let Him.
I'm so grateful to be able to take part in this amazing work. God's plan for us is perfect, even though we are not. So my question for you is, what are you going to do to grow closer to the Savior and to accept His love and sacrifice for you? We have learned here that it is so much more important to KNOW the Savior, rather than to simply know that He exists. How are you going to develop that relationship with Him? I hope you can understand how important I feel this is. Start now to do the things that will help you understand it for yourself. The first step is prayer. I know it's true, that the Savior knows us personally. He is just waiting for us to know Him.
