Its really hard to write these group emails lately, cause..... there are too many miracles to share. As i write this, i still don't know what to start with. Do i tell you about the young single mother that was inspired by conference and wants to get married then baptized on her birthday? Do i tell you about Terry, our new black investigator, and how we couldn't recognize him from the changes he's already made? Do i tell you about the tear streaked phone call we received this morning, and how we listened to a sorrowful friend weep a prayer to her heavenly father when she is, in the same moment, so mad at god for taking away all those who have been closest to her? do i tell you about Ma'Lorie and Ciarra, a mother daughter duo who are struggling valiantly to repair their torn relationship after 20 years of alcoholism and foster life?
Each of these stories would probable touch your heart, and all of them have something in common.
The atonement remakes people. If the fall tore us from God in multiple ways, the atonement mends that, and even creates a stronger bond than the one we usually have.
The mission has taught me something incredible. Spiritual healing comes when we help others to spiritually heal. Christ is so very proficient at mending torn hearts, he loves to do it, and he loves to teach us to do the same.
Heal someone this week. Even just a little bit. Its so much easier than we sometimes think. Spiritual healing doesn't usually come with a sudden realization and "home makeover" type experience. It usually starts with a call from a friend, a plate of cookies, a note encouragement.
I hope to have the time to tell you all of these stories soon, but for now, you can see a story before your very eyes. Start someone's process of healing today.
Love you :)
