Shephard - Leader - Savior - Redeemer - JESUS CHRIST- Week 20

Hey everyone, this week was more of a tough week! We had exchanges this week and I have a new companion here in Ayotla! Elder Rosas, he is really organized, loves to cook and clean things. Probably won't get another companion who has this combination of attributes. haha! We teach so good together and can feel the spirit in every lesson we have. I love to talk about The Book of Mormon, but I just can't ever stop thinking about Jesus Christ and how important He really is in our lives. 

What does Jesus Christ mean to you? 

How do you show your love for Him throughout the day? 

I want you all to experiment with this during the week. What does Jesus Christ really mean to you, and how will you show that throughout your week? 

For me Jesus Christ is absolutely everything, without Christ I am nothing. Without His Atoning Sacrafice for me I couldn't feel peace or comfort, or love. But I know that I have a Father in Heaven that really does love me. And He really does want me to be happy, so I can feel peace and comfort. By reading the scriptures I have come to love Jesus Christ more than ever before. He lives and wants us to be happy. By listening to His words and obeying those words 100 percent, we will never fall. Turn to the only person who knows you better than you know yourself. Jesus Christ. Just like when a shephard goes and finds the one lamb that is lost, so will Jesus Christ be there for you when you turn and ask for his help. He will lift you up, and bare those heavy burdens we can not bear. 

I love you all so much, I know that Jesus Christ sacraficed His life so I can literally find mine. I hope your Halloween was fantastic and I look forward to another week as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Hey by the way, it is my sisters 17th birthday this week! Can't believe it! Happy birthday Ashlynn! I love you!
