#HALLELUJAH

Wow. We are halfway through March! And as of this week I have been a missionary for 7 months. 

This week has been long, but we got a lot of stuff done! We have been working a lot with Bill and Jill, as their baptism is this Saturday! They are so excited and so ready for baptism. Bill is happy to have found where God wants him to be, and Jill has such a strong desire to follow Christ. Jill is usually very quiet, but she has really opened up this week! She has been talking more about her life, and how she grew up with a strong faith. This gospel has helped her to expand her Faith in Christ, as it does for so many people. It will be a beautiful service. 

We saw Brother Abbott this week, and his whole family! His wife used to be a member a long time ago, and they have started learning from us again. Brother Abbott has a strong desire to know if this gospel is true, but he just feels stuck in a rut right now. We taught another woman this week who felt the same way, that she just keeps repeating mistakes over and over. She thinks God is too tired of her making mistakes and he won't listen to her anymore. We shared this quote with her:

 "I testify that the Savior will never turn away from us when we humbly seek Him in order to repent; will never consider us to be a lost cause; will never say, “Oh no, not you again”; will never reject us because of a failure to understand how hard it is to avoid sin. He understands it all perfectly, including the sense of sorrow, shame, and frustration that is the inevitable consequence of sin.

Repentance is real and it works...Repentance, of necessity, is not easy.Things of eternal significance rarely are. But the result is worth it. As President Boyd K. Packer testified...: “The thought is this: the Atonement leaves no tracks, no traces. What it fixes is fixed. … The Atonement leaves no traces, no tracks. It just heals, and what it heals stays healed.”'

ITS EASTER SEASON!

What a wonderful time of year this is! So many people cherish this time of year and use it to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ 

I am so excited for this time of year because it reminds us that change IS possible. We can become better because of Jesus Christ. Because He rose on the third day I know all our losses WILL be made up, including the loss of loved ones. We WILL see them again, I know this, and you can learn it too.
