We were able to contact or meet with
all our investigators this week, as well as meet a couple new ones. M. hasn't
been reading the Book of Mormon, but D. and J. have been!! We are super excited for them.
J. plans on coming to church this week and feels like this could be the church
for him.
I had an exchange with Elder E.
in Mountain Island, and we were blessed to find 3 new investigators after only
knocking on 7 doors. It was a really great exchange.
I studied the talk "The
Sacrament and the Atonement" by Elder James J. Hamula today. One of the
best parts of the talk was where he talked about the Doctrine of Christ! He
says:
"When we receive this
doctrine and conduct our lives accordingly, we are in effect washed in the
blood of Christ and made clean. Through the sacramental prayers, we express our
acceptance of this doctrine of Christ and our commitment to live according to
it. Brothers and sisters, the most important event in time and eternity is the
Atonement of Jesus Christ. He who accomplished the Atonement has given us the
ordinance of the sacrament to help us not only remember but also claim the
blessings of this supreme act of grace. Regular and earnest participation in
this sacred ordinance helps us continue to embrace and live the doctrine of
Christ after baptism and thereby pursue and complete the process of
sanctification. Indeed, the ordinance of the sacrament helps us faithfully
endure to the end and receive the fulness of the Father in the same way Jesus
did, grace for grace."
I got the opportunity to help pass
the sacrament in Huntersville this past week, because they didn't have enough
young men, and I was so grateful to get the chance to assist in that special
sacred ordinance. The Sacrament is always the highlight of my week, because I
can concentrate on the Savior and feel my sins from the past week being washed
away.
With love,
Elder Branch
