Another week!

Hello! Hello!

This week has been long. And hard. But amazing.

Last week we met a man through a recent convert who wanted to change his life.
He had been drinking and smoking for the last 50 something years.
He lost his family 10 years ago because of it.
He says he gets a great income, but it always ends up being gone.
And he´s tired of it.
He´s tried to quit but nothing has worked and he just wants to turn  his life around.

Sunday he was baptized.
He was prepared. He was ready. And he wanted relief more than anything else in the world.
In one week with God and the gospel of Jesus Christ he overcame two vices of 50 years and is going strong.
The atonement is something that we will never fully comprehend.
But I can comprehend the joy in the eyes of this man.
This is why I´m serving a mission.

Stay strong. Sometimes it´s incredibly hard. But the Lord knows and we will grow.
