The Atonement is everything

Dear Family

We have realized that a lot of our investigators or even just the people here in general do not understand who God is, who Jesus Christ is, and what they mean to them. So we have focused many of our lesson on talking about who they are and the atonement. (Because the Atonement is Everything!) We have showed just about every single person we teach the Easter Video from the church (easter.mormon.org or pascua.mormon.org). I love this video. It helped me consider even more what the atonement means to me and the people I teach. On Wednesday my District leader asked me to speak on Helping Investigators Overcome Addiction in our district meeting. I talked about how it is our job to help the people we teach learn and understand more about the atonement, because it is the atonement that makes everything possible. It is through Christ´s atonement that everyone can change and overcome the natural man. I decided to show that video and after we had finished watching it we sat in silence for about 10 minutes. The spirit in the room was so strong that none of us could speak. At the end I bore my testimony of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I know that there is so much I still don´t understand about the Atonement, but my understanding of the atonement has grown tremendously on my mission. I have this overwhelming feeling that I can be and become whatever I desire (whether is be for life or for death Alma 29:4-5) , because of the atonement. And this gives me so much responsibility to desire God´s will for me. I encourage all of you once again, to study about the atonement of Jesus Christ and then to act according to the knowledge that you receive. It will change your life. 

Last night we also had a really cool experience. We were visiting with Eva and one of her friends from Argentina was there. We asked him if we could share a scripture with him before we left and he accepted. We ended up sharing the Easter video with him as well, and then sharing Alma 7:10-12. We also shared the Book of Mormon with him and Eva (His Friend!) was able to bare her testimony of the book to him. He was very grateful to have received the book and we´re planning on seeing him again this week! Just like it says in Preach My Gospel, we don´t know who God is preparing to receive this gospel until we act. Now is the time to act: repenting, living, and sharing the message of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Oh and mom, did anything ever happen with sharing the book of mormon? And I´m so sorry I just realized I never replied to your question for your relief society lesson! How did it go? 

And a couple favors... Could you send me some mesh garments. They don´t sell them here in Spain

. probably the second to the smallest size. And could you see if they have any one pieces?? And also we are going to try to get some family history things going here, could you send me a few family history stories and maybe pictures?? 

Thank you so much mom!!! I love you:)
