Lessons

I'm not sure I have a tone to say this week... We worked. Our bike tires went flat. We taught a few great lessons, and we made our share of mistakes, but that was ok too. The sacrament was a blessing again. I am ever grateful for the blessing of the Atonement. In Gospel principles class we had a lesson on repentance, the very basics. And while I learned a lot about teaching repentance in Japanese I thought about applying the things that we were learning in our lives, really repenting, really going through the process. Using the truths we know to make a change. 

I thought to myself, that if I were going to be able to teach these things to anyone I had be better be pretty familiar with the steps. Too often I just say, "please forgive me". Not taking time to think about the reality of the Savior's Atonement. As I have tried to make a real effort to follow the Savior's teachings more earnestly, more specifically, I have been blessed to have felt the power of the Holy Ghost more fully in my life. I know that this is the true gospel of Jesus the Christ. I love to serve Him. 

Also a mission is fun...     Okinawa Snails!
