I can't believe that it is 2013! I can't believe that I left for the mission in 2011! Whoa.
I
am so grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ. I was thinking about this
last year that I spent as a missionary, and I realized that I could have
been so much better. Thanks to the Atonement of Jesus Christ, I can put
this in the past and resolve to have a better year this year. I can
repent and be forgiven. One of the things I have learned here on the
mission is the beauty of repentance. I have seen unhappy, sinful people
turn their entire lives around. I have seen them apply the Lord's
sacrifice in their life and turn a new page.
This week at church we had a special fast. We fasted
as a ward that our ward would be able to grow and that we would do
everything necessary to make that happen. Yesterday at church as we were
all fasting, two couples showed up at church saying that they had just
moved in. I am convinced that prayer coupled with fasting is so
powerful! I knew that before.....but this strengthened my testimony of
the fact.
I am getting so good at teaching classes at the last
minute!!!! If someone doesn't show up to teach or to give a talk during
sacrament meetings......"Ask the Sisters.They will do it."
Sister Araujo is still in the boot. We have been
working a and walking a little bit, but we aren't able to do a full
day's work yet.
I got my Christmas package, Mom and Dad! Oh yeah! Loved it! Sister Araujo LOVED the stocking.
I love you all!
Sister Autumn Barnes
