Week 100....16 days to go

Two things to tell about this week!

One was that we experienced a whole ton of miracles and had a great time! We found a really cool family one night when it was really really cold and we didn´t have a lot of time left in the day. We were far from our weekly goals so we prayed with lots of faith and just gave it to the buildings contacting that whole produce. They were super receptive and they understood us very well. Also we received a reference kind of of a guy that has been coming to church for a few weeks but nobody told us he wasn´t a member. His wife is Dominican and trying to set an appointment I hardcore needed the gift of tongues. Also last night we had a great first lesson with Kathy and her mom. We met Kathy like 3 months ago at a previous activity, but she didn´t live in our branch boundaries until just barely they moved. That was all part of reason number one. 
Two is that while studying the book of mormon this week I learned something really cool. Abinadi teaches some really cool doctrine in the 15th chapter of Mosiah right before he becomes a martyr. He is talking about Christ and all that he will suffer and pass through and he says ¨And now I say unto you, who shall declare his generation? Behold, I say unto you, that when his soul has been made an offering for sin he shall see his seed. And now what say ye? And who shall be his seed? Behold I say unto you, that whosoever has heard the words of the prophets, yea, all the holy prophets who have prophesied concerning the coming of the Lord—I say unto you, that all those who have hearkened unto their words, and believed that the Lord would redeem his people, and have looked forward to that day for a remission of their sins, I say unto you, that these are his seed, or they are the heirs of the kingdom of God. For these are they whose sins he has borne; these are they for whom he has died, to redeem them from their transgressions. And now, are they not his seed?¨ 
He explains that when Christ performed the great atoning sacrifice he saw us, those who have chosen to follow Him and who listen to his prophets and keep his commandments. I believe that it was a source of strength for Him, to be able to see us. And because of the great love He has for us, He alone was able to overcome all things. I know He is perfect and All-Powerful, and that his love for us is perfect and has all the power to change our lives, when we come unto Him. He is the Christ, the ¨Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.¨ This I know for myself, a sacred truth that has been made manifest to me by the power of the Holy Ghost.
