Week 6 - The Atonement

Hey guys,

It's a lot better of a week this week. It's still been hard but I made a goal to study the atonement and to try to understand how it really applies to my life. So, that is what I did. 

I surprisingly as I prayed and studied and have talked about it with my companion, I've found alot of comfort and hope with Evye and my family. I've found my self asking Heavenly Father so much "Is there any other way that I can be happy? Why do I feel so strongly that I need to be here? Is there any other way? 

As I gained a better understanding of the atonement I found that Jesus Christ had that same question as he suffered the incredible pains of the world--all the sins of the world. He cried to his own father, his dad, "Is there any other way?". 

He suffered and made the ultimate sacrifice for us so that we may have hope and be enabled to live with Heavenly Father again one day. So that we can be happy. I have so much more to learn, so much more room to grow, and need to put my trust in God fully. 

Because until I truly have faith in Heavenly Father and his plan for me, to that He will take care pf my family and Evye back home, and whatever worries I have, I will not recieve the growth I need. I have grown alot this week. I've done better in trusting God this week. And I'll continue to try harder this week. 

I love you all, to whomever may be reading this. Miss you guys, and hope all is well.
