Hellloo HOwww arrREE YoouuuUU???
First off I must agree with what you said about just dancing in the
rain.. i felt some trials but I need to gain a testimony that the Lord
really does want us to be happy. we should not be fearful of Him but just
know that things are going to work out and
be for our best benefit!
Bubbs looks great, send me a picture with him like right now with
those glasses! i wanna see them with him normally haha Caden is FILTHY. I
LOVE it hahahahah I was laughing sooo hard and was like "Thatss myyy
boyyy!!!" soo gross haha. Cars is still the
HOT BEYER for sure!!
This week has been quite the week haha, its weeks like this that
make me think back and reflect on really the blessings that I have seen
in my life due to the Savior. We had the opportunity of instructing this
week with everything and it was wonderful
because we were trying to figure out ways to "bring desire to the
missionaries" and I mean... we thought about it and thought about it and
thought about it... and then it just came down to it and we just came
up with the idea that there is nothing that came
bring more excitement than an understanding of the Atonement of Jesus
Christ. We just really had the missionaries think and think about what
the Atonement was and really meant to them, and why it would be
important in the missionary endeavors. There is a quote
by President Howard W Hunter in Preach My Gospel that says:
"What does the Atonement have to do with missionary work? Any time
we experience the blessings of the Atonement in our lives, we cannot
help but have a concern for the welfare of others... A great indicator
of ones personal conversion is the desire t
share the gospel with others."
We truly tried to think in depth and we challenged the
missionaries to ponder about what we believe the Atonement to be... and
then to decide for themselves how much it meant to them. it was quite
powerful, i challenge you to do the same.. Think about
the blessings that you have seen from the Atonement and why it is
important to you... and think about how much it means to you... and I
promise you will be able to see the most happiness that you have ever
seen in your life.
President Scott told me once, "You know Elder Beyer, I talk to many
missionaries... and many of them talk about how they have been studying
the Atonement and how its great for them. I believe you need to study
it to understand it for sure, but when it
really comes down to it, the only way to understand the Atonement
completely is by living it and living the gospel. Through action we
completely come to understand what it is to us, and how it is applicable
to others as well."
I truly believe that with all of my heart. The opportunities of
growth come from experience, Joseph Smith once said "there is no
substitute for experience", i support that 100%. It is one thing to learn
to pray and another thing to actually do it and
receive an answer, its one thing to have it for yourself and another to
hear someone actually say "God, we thank thee for sending us the Mormons
here to help us change our ways." It has been a great testimony in
itself to truly feel the ENABLING power of the
Atonement as well as its REDEEMING. I know its real, and was needed for
God is Just and Merciful, in the sense that if we are capable of
repenting there always needs to be a punishment to help us even more. I
love the Savior for what He has done for each one
of us.
Elder Thompson and I are having a blast, its SO fun haha we just
shred up concerns and problems right at the face of it. When people
bring anti we just rip it to pieces haha its been sooooo funny! I love
it, hes been one of the coolest comps ever. We took
some sweet pics the other day, just wait for them! :)
Let me know if there is anything that I can do for you. I would love to do it.
Forever and Always,
Elder B Beyer.
