Family and Friends,
Hello! This week was
a great week! First off I have to say happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out
there! And I just want to say happy Mother's Day to my mom one more time! Sorry
I wasn't able to send an email at last week. I'll do a brief recap of what
happened. So, two weeks ago we had our special Spanish zone conference. It was
fantastic! I little stressful since Elder Mickelson and I were in charge of the
whole meeting (a 6-hour meeting). But it was a really good experience and
really rewarding as well. It was worth all the hard work that went into it!
President and Sister Weed were a little lost during it since it was all in
Spanish, but we enjoyed their presence nonetheless!
Okay so that was the
main thing that happened two weeks ago. This past week was a hard one, but also
rewarding! We put in lots of hard work into the area, and it didn't really seem
that we saw any progress or anything come of it. However, on Sunday we were
ecstatic to see one of our investigators come to church! He came with his wife
who is a a member. In all this was his 5th or 6th time coming to church, and
we're glad to see him continuing to progress!
This week we were
also asked to teach elder's quorum. We taught lesson 8 from the Gordon B. Hinckley
manual and the lesson was all about looking to Christ. The principle message
that hit me from this lesson was the statement, "Do we really believe that
Jesus Christ is the son of God?" "That he suffered for our sins, and
atoned for our wrongs." Later in the lesson it goes on to say that if we
do believe in this, then we have every reason to be happy and make the most out
of our lives.
A man in our quorum
made a comment saying that this was the first Mother's Day he had since his mom
had passed away. He went on to say that of course it's hard to not have her in
his life, and that he misses her. BUT. Because Jesus Christ is the son of God.
And because He existed. This man knew that he would be with his mother again.
He knew that everything unfair in this world would be made right. And he had a
hope for something greater after this life.
That's one thing that
I took from this lesson. Jesus Christ, knowing of His divinity and role, gives
us a direction in this life. Without Him, everything we knew would be for
nothing. But because He came here, because He lived, we all have our own
purpose in this life. So, if ever we need direction in our lives, I know that
we can think about and turn to our rock, Jesus Christ. He can give us the
motivation and strength we need when we feel like giving up. Because He lived,
we'll all live again. And we all have a purpose and direction in this life. I
know that Jesus Christ lived, and that He lives today. I love Him, and know
that He loves each and every one of us!
Love,
Elder Adams
