Weekly Letter 91
Hey everyone!!! Happy Easter!!!
I hope that we were able to just take a moment to reflect on perhaps the most important week in history, which was the last week of the Savior's mortal life. That is a week that affects every week and every day of our own lives.
Can we all just meditate in gratitude at least 5 minutes, just thinking about the Savior's sacrifice, and what the Savior had done for us today? Can we do that every day? Because, when we think about it, if we really think about the short term and long term impact of what the Savior did on a regular daily basis, and we think about what we would be without it, we would have no reason to not be grateful!
This week was a week of miracles, as I had just accepted an assignment as a viajero (traveler), in the which assignment I go with my assigned companion to do divisions with the elders in an area for just one week to help the conditions of the area improve and give the missionaries some experience, and then to another area for another week, and then another area another week, etc. And there were so many miracles as a result. We started with a "desanimado" ward, with missionaries who were not having success. We took some members with us, taking an inventory of all investigators, members and less actives and converts that they knew, and we wanted to increase it all, helping the investigators develop friendships with the members. Overall it was an awesome week, with lots of spiritual experiences. President Christensen was impressed. So now I will be going with a different companion, to an area in which I already served, which is Gualan. It's been struggling a lot in the last couple months. But I'm excited! I'm excited because I now have more experience in the mission, and so I could try some new things, and help the missionaries at the same time. It will be another rewarding experience.
I didn't think I would get an assignment which would allow me to establish the Church literally wherever I go, and now that I do, I will do my best to inspire faith in the Atonement in as many missionaries, investigators and members that I can. I love this Church, I love this Gospel, and I love the Savior. I know that His Gospel is true, and that His Church is here on the earth. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Have a wonderful week! And don't forget to count your blessings!
Elder Dredge
