Well I'm just gonna jump right in with E. On Wednesday we were able to do intercambios (exchanges in english? idk) with the Hermana Lideres, and I was able to visit E with Hna S. She had read the chapter we left her (2 ne 31) TWO times in 3 days! She didn't understand much but by reading it she showed her strong desires to learn and progress. (also fyi, "baptism by fire" freaks people out if they've never heard of the comfirmation before. jaja pobrecita)
We taught her about repentance, and although she had never heard about the atoning sacrifice before she totally understood and loved it. We taught her that repentance = change. She told us she has literally seen this change in herself and was so happy to recognize her own progress. Sept 26th here we come! Some things came up and she wasn't able to come to church but she told us her boyfriend wants to participate in the next lesson!
We had a Family Night with J and D in a members house a few days ago. It was so powerful! We felt the spirit so strong and left in tears. I pray that it was the experience they needed to have a change of heart and JUST GET MARRIED ALREADY.
This week I've really taken the time to study the Atonement. It really is incredible the love that God has for us to sacrifice His own, perfect Son to pay the price of all the mistakes of His imperfect sons and daughters.
2 Nephi 26:
24 He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation.25 Behold, doth he cry unto any, saying: Depart from me? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; but he saith: Come unto me all ye ends of the earth, buy milk and honey, without money and without price.
33...and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.
I love you all. I know God and Jesus Christ love you even more.
Wish I could write more and tell you about all these beautiful things I'm learning and experiencing but this will just have to do.
MUCH LOVE, HNA MEACHAM
