I don't have much to report this week, but we have a couple new investigator FAMILIES :) That is always a blessing. Family is soo important to Heavenly Father, and its the purpose of everything we do in the church!
I have felt a special love for the Atonement this week.1 Nephi 19:9 is one of my favorite scriptures that explains the life of Christ.
9 And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to be a thing of naught; wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it; and they smite him, and he suffereth it. Yea, they spit upon him, and he suffereth it, because of his loving kindness and his long-suffering towards the children of men.
Pay attention to the last phrase!! He did all of that because of the love he had towards us. If our desires are powerful enough and in the right direction, we can do anything. Because of the desires of our Savior, he completed the Atonement. Because of the atonement, we can find happiness in this life and live eternally with our families in the life to come. His influence is available to everyone!
I love you all,
Elder Burns
