Good Morning!
So funny story, not even a couple of hours after I sent out
my last weekly email, My companion and I were stricken with the same sickness
as before. Thankfully at least I have since gotten better and have been able to
go out on some exchanges and do work :) So if you could all please keep Elder
Hatch in your prayers!
Anyways this week has been wonderfully spiritually
uplifting!
Like I said earlier, I've gotten to go on a couple of
exchanges this week, most notably with Elder Stone our district leader. Elder
Stone is such a boss! Being with him this last week was absolutely great! One
of the things that he impressed upon me is the importance of prayer. While ive
always known how wonderful it is, I saw how he truly turned to the lord about
everything. My testimony in the power of prayer has truly grown!
Also this last week we had a wonderful district meeting! It
was all about Christlike attributes and on how by focusing on these things we
truly can come closer to Jesus Christ and become better disciples of him :)
In my studies this week I have been reviewing conference
talks (since we now have tons of time to study) and I would like to share a
though from a talk that stood out to me. The talk is titled "Joy and
Spiritual Survival" by President Russel M. Nelson. One of the biggest
things that stood out to me is that no matter the situation or the trial that
we are going through, we can find and experience TRUE JOY! We do this as we
turn to Christ. For those that are struggling he gave a couple of ideas to get
us started on turning to Christ. We can start by including our thanks for
Christ in our prayers to our Heavenly Father, and also by striving to learn
about him constantly. This last week I have strongly felt impressions from the
spirit that I need to learn more about Christ and Increase my testimony of
him.
Brothers and Sisters, as I finish this email, I want you all
to know that I know that Jesus Christ lives. I know that he died for us and
that through him we can change! We can become better people, we can feel love
for truly everyone, and We can accomplish all things through Christ.
I love you all! Hope you have a wonderful week!
Never Give Up, Never Surrender!
