Week 48: His Perfect Atonement

¡Familia y Amigos! 

This week was another really good one! Here's A couple of our super amazing miracles!

#1, remember our investigator who came to church last week? Well we stopped in and saw her this week, and she went on to tell us that she basically received permission from her uncle if she ever wanted to join the church which was a HUGE deal to her, as many of her family members haven't talked with her since she married her husband, because he is a member of the church. Huge miracles in the little things 

And #2 we were able to go to Independence (basically the holy land of the mission, and forever the place that has my heart) with one of our less actives and we had an INCREDIBLE lesson with her! I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to be a missionary and watch the gospel change the lives of others. I know the Lord has perfect timing. Sometimes we want to rush his plans and the progress of the work, but as we truly follow his lead in the work, miracles will always happen.

2.0

Something a little different this week, but I wanted to share this poem I read a while back. It has helped remind me that as we live a world that will try to single us out to be a no one, we can remember our loving Savior who sacrificed his life because we are someone. I testify of his reality. He loves us. He has made it possible for us to repent and to change, so that we can find true happiness in our lives.

His Perfect Atonement 

By Kasey Hammer 

I used to believe 

That there was a hole

In Christ’s Atonement--

That He could save everyone--

Except me.

But I was wrong.

There is not one hole, 

But seven.

Two holes in His Hands 

Where they nailed Him 

To a cross

At the behest of those 

He would die To save,

Two holes in His wrists 

Where they ensured 

The weight of His body 

Would not cause His hands

To rip through 

Before His penance 

Was complete,

Two holes in His feet

Where He stood 

As a witness to all

Of God’s unyielding love 

For each Of His children, 

And one hole in His side

Where they pierced Him 

To prove His work

Was done. 

Seven. 

Perfection.

Seven perfect holes 

In earth’s only Perfect Man.

The perfect Atonement 

To patch the holes in our lives. 

His holes make us Whole.

I was wrong. 

There is a Whole In Christ’s Atonement

For me 

After all.

Christ's atonement is perfect, and it is just for you.

Love you all and Hope you have a week full of miracles!
