June 29 2020 Faith... repentance... BAPTISM🙌🏼

 In case you couldn't tell from my subject line, the republic of Ireland is officially allowed to BAPTIZE!! (As of last night) On top of that we might be able to go to church soon🙏🏼 Things are starting to look up here in the emerald Isle. 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words which I hope is true because so much has happened this week that I won't be able to express it all in words.  
We Gardened ALOT! We had Zone conference, 4 dinner appointments, and taught the most amazing people. 
As a mission we have focused a lot on the atonement of Jesus Christ. This is something that has been on my mine especially these last 3 weeks that I have been able to partake of the sacrament. When Jesus Christ was with the people of ancient America taught them many things, and as he told them it was time to go back to his father "he cast his eyes round about again on the multitude, and beheld they were in tears, and did look steadfastly upon him as if they would ask him to tarry a little longer with them." (3 Nephi 17:5) IMAGINE how you would feel being in their position. You just spent the last few days with Jesus Christ and he told you he was going to leave... with his perfect compassion he stays a bit longer he heals them physically making them whole, but then in the next chapter he heals them spiritually by administering the sacrament  so that even when he is gone they will all have an opportunity for his spirit to be with them ALWAYS. What an amazing gift!! We too have that gift, not only do we get that opportunity each Sunday we now can even do it in our homes. I INVITE you to think a bit deeper this week about the meaning of the sacrament, what promises you are making, and what He is promising you in return. 
That's all folks, enjoy the pictures and have a great week!
