When we go through tough and trying moments we are standing shoulder
to shoulder with the best life who has ever lived. We are standing side by side
with the Savior of the world. So was I heartbroken? Yes, completely but this
week I came to feel the atonement in a deeper way than ever before. I came
to understand just a little bit more about the magnitude of the sacrifice that
he made for me and for that I am so deeply grateful. My relationship with the Savior
has deepened and increased so much this week. I feel so much more happy,
positive, and peaceful now. I know everything is in His hands and that he knows
how difficult this has been for me. He has once again literally made my burden
light. Although it was the hardest day of the mission, I am so incredibly
grateful for it because it humbled me and brought me back to my knees at the
feet of my Savior. It was just what I needed.
I testify of the overarching
power of the atonement. There isn´t a single thing in the entire world that the
atonement doesn´t cover. You are never too far gone or too unimportant for the
power of the atonement to help, heal, and change you. The atonement has carried
me again and again, day after day. It is the reason I keep moving forward and
the reason that I can say “Come what may and love it”. I promise that the
atonement will carry you as well if you will just come to Christ and let Him
help. I really am so happy out here because Christ is my joy. I can´t wait for
this next week because I’m positive that we´re going to see some awesome
miracles.
Love
you all!
