Salvation isn't a quick fix

Dear Family! 

 

Hello!  How is everything at home?  I hope it is well, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas :)  It sounds like you did- ipod touch?  Look who is posh now, Jaden and Jenika :)  Love you.  You will share it with me someday.  And I will download Mo Tab onto it :).  I did get quite a few Christmas cards from all the family.  They were beautiful and one of the only decorations that we had in the house.  It was great.  I had a wonderful Christmas.  Christmas on the mission is so special.  When I'm a Sr. Couple missionary I'm going to have like a million Christmases on the mission.  Maybe :)

 

Guess what!?  I moved! Crazy, isn't it?  Everyone in Preston thought I might stay, but I had a feeling that I would be leaving. So, yeah, I'm whitewashing and opening a new area in Crewe.  It is in the same stake as Stafford, weird, I haven't been down here forever.  But, yeah, it seems quite exciting.  It is the smallest town I have been to since Stafford as well, which is really crazy, but also will be a lot of fun, I'm sure.  Won't take as much time to learn the area I guess.  I'm serving with Sister Hanson who is great.  She is in Sister Beaty's group so she has actually been here quite a while.  We are also co-senior companions which I think is something President recently created :)  It will be nice , there won't be as much stress on me because of that.  President said that it is most likely that Sister Hanson will stay here and train and I will whitewash another new area with a trainee.  Crazy.  BTW, my actual departure is  7 March.  The extension is from when I hit 18 months, not from the end of the transfer.

 Salvation isn't a quick fix, it isn't like we can just go into a Walk In Health Clinic one time and be healed through the atonement. The healing that we need through the atonement is more like a long term disease- maybe cancer. We constantly and consistently need to be going to the doctor to receive spiritual radiation or chemo or something. And just like that, we have to kill parts of ourselves in order to actually be whole. We have to kill the natural man- physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We can't do that by ourselves. If you went to the doctor one time for cancer and then were like, 'hmmm... I think I got it covered now...'- you would die! You would honestly kill over and die. Even when you go into remission for cancer, you still have to go to the doctor maybe once a year or so to make sure it hasn't returned. And we constantly need to be going back to Christ.

 

I love you.
