Giving my will to the Lord

Sister Murakane and me

This week was transfers and sadly my companion, Sister Murakane is being transferred to a new area. I really grew to love her! She's so amazing!! My new companion is Suyavia from the Ukrain. She was actually in my flat in the MTC, so I already know her! She is so sweet. She’s quiet and doesn’t speak a lot of English so it will be a little difficult from a communication standpoint, but I’m looking forward to being with her; it will be so cool to be with someone from my MTC group.

 

I love being on my mission. Some people think being away from home, family and school for 18 months is a sacrifice, but it really isn’t, it's what I'm supposed to be doing. I’m so grateful for my Savior and His great sacrifice for me, for all of us. I’ve come to better understand the Atonement and even though I have so much more to learn, it is incredible to think about Jesus Christ turning His will to His Father. The only true thing I can give the Lord is my will; my will to do whatever he asks of me, and then go and do it without hesitation. The lord took no hesitation to save us from our sins and to accomplish the Atonement, he gave his all, the least I could give is my will for not only these 18 months but for eternity. Without him life would be impossible, unbearable, immovable. But with Him, life is eternal.

With all of my Love,
