Aloha!
We had a great week this week. We are gradually finding more investigators and we've been finding more people who are truly prepared to hear and accept the gospel. One of our miracles this week happened on Saturday. We have more or less a standing appointment with this one JoVo [young single adult]. Before I got here, they were also teaching the JoVo's friend. However, with them being very busy with work and school it's been hard to stay in contact with them, but we were still working with the son. Well, on Saturday when we went by for our appointment, the friend was there too! He is still interested and even read some in the Book of Mormon. He had just been really busy.
While reading President Eyring's talk "Daughters in the Covenant," I noticed that he mentioned that we all have a Heavenly Father who sees a far greater potential in us that we see in ourselves. That is true. Sometimes it is easy to see all your weaknesses, and then it can be discouraging to think of trying to overcome them. But the entire point of the Atonement is that we don't have to do that by ourselves. Yes, we all have weaknesses. There are times for all of us where with think that we are a hopeless case and cannot possibly return. However, with the Atonement of Jesus Christ, there is always hope. No one is ever too far gone. We do have to make a choice. We have to turn to Him, and open when He knocks. But "It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ’s Atonement shines."--Elder Holland (Laborers in the Vineyard).
