Day 63

In mission prep class today we got into pairs and taught each other Lesson 2 in Preach My Gospel, which is the Plan of Salvation.  The centerpiece of the plan is the atonement of Jesus Christ.  That is what I want to write about today.

I am so grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ.  Without it there is no way that I would be able to return to my Heavenly Father.  I am in no way perfect, but through the atonement I have the ability and opportunity to repent and be clean again.  There are certain things that I have done in my life that I am ashamed of, but through the cleansing power atonement I can feel peace once again.  Jesus Christ paid for my sins in the garden of Gethsemane.  He knows what I am going through and he wants to help me and guide me on the right path.  Because Jesus Christ suffered and atoned for all my sins, pains, and sicknesses, He understands what I am going through and has mercy on me.  It is the same for all people.

When I go on a mission, I hope that I can bear testimony in a way that will touch the hearts of those I serve, and will cause them to truly understand the incredible power of the atonement.
