Well, this will be pretty quick. First and foremost, I love being a missionary! This life is one of constant growth, becoming more like my Savior, serving people, loving as completely as I can, and working to help others to come unto Christ. I absolutely love it, and it's the same work wherever we go.
Second of all, I'm going back to Peru! I'll be back April 30. I'm super excited :)
I'm not sure if I mentioned in my last weekly, but I did also just get transferred. So I'll only be in the Klein Oak ward for a total of three weeks and three days, but I'm super grateful for the time I have here and am doing my best to give my everything to invite others to come unto Christ. It's fascinating being in an English ward and seeing it from the missionary side. I've grown up in English wards, but it's quite different being the missionaries here.
My new comp is Elder Salgado, from California, who grew up speaking both English and Spanish, which is super fun to be around.
One cool quick spiritual thought for this week, a math-related one. The nature of infinity teaches us that if we had an infinite sequence of random letters, it is 100% probable that that sequence, at some point, contains the complete works of Shakespeare, as well as Websters dictionary and any other finite sequence of letters. In Alma 34:9-10, Amulek very clearly teaches that any finite sacrifice could not have done what the Atonement of Jesus Christ did. What Christ did was infinite. To me, it makes sense that the same principle would apply. Christ's Atonement is so deep and infinite that it not only includes the pain and price of everything that humanity has done but the pain and probability of everything that we could ever possibly do, every possible lifetime combination of pain, sin, injury, and suffering. To me this makes sense, but I don't necessarily have doctrine to back it up. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this! (inspiration credit for this week's insight goes to Sister Lucy Ward and Elder Wilkins).
We're seeing miracles. This work is the Lord's.
Happy, grateful, lucky, and blessed,
Elder Child
