This week was an
amazing week! Elder Treanor and I saw miracles.
On Saturday we were looking for a less active family in these apartment complexes but holding find their door so we’re knocking around trying to find them and from that we met some new people we think we’ll be able to teach! We met this guy named Shawn who just moved here from Jersey 3 weeks ago and told us he’s had a rough past 5 years. We gave him a Book of Mormon and he seemed pumped to read it!
There are a lot of part-member families in this ward Elder Treanor and I are wanting to start working with. We've already started working with a couple families but there’s so many more we want to start working with. One of the families is the Clopton’s. It’s a single mother with an 18 year old daughter named Chloe and 14 year old son named Allen. Both not baptized. Elder Treanor and I have really been able to connect with Allen. It’s really sad, the family struggles cause the dad kinda just walked out on them all one day and went and started a new family with another woman and doesn’t even care about them. Real scumbag. So Allen struggles with it the most not having a father figure so Elder Treanor and I have really just been trying to love him and he’s opened up to us a lot! On Friday he showed us his fort he made in his man cave and all his Nerf guns and we played with those for a while and Michelle(the mother) was shocked he was opening up to us so much. She said he’s usually really shy and doesn’t talk to people much. She said she has no problem with us teaching him the lessons either. He’s a really cool kid and we’re pumped to start teaching him the lessons.
We had our zone conference yesterday and it was so wonderful! It was all focused on repentance. Goodness what a beautiful gift. Main focus was that we need to be repenting everyday. We all fall short everyday. We all have struggles everyday. We all need the Atonement of Jesus Christ everyday. So we need to be repenting everyday! Repentance is not something that is what you do when you really screw up, but it’s something we need to be doing everyday. 2 Nephi 25:23 talks about how it is by grace we are saved, even after all we can do...which is repent. Repent is what we can do. And we know from Moroni 6:8 that as oft as we repent...we are forgiven. The Atonement is infinite and eternal. There is no number of times we can use it. So continue to use it every single day. I’ll stop preaching now haha.
Miracles happen everyday around us. When you start recognizing them it’s incredible to see just how much our Heavenly Father is in the details of our lives everyday.
