It was a little crazy this week with the whole city and just us two.
But we found a way and made it work. It was great to meet new people
this week. And it was awesome to work the other half of the city.

So there isnt much priesthood holders in our branch. Basically, it is
just our branch president. And he will travel for a month starting
next sunday. So Elder Bodily and I have the opportunity to run the
branch until he returns. It should be pretty interesting. But we are
excited.

I had the opportunity to give a talk in church this past sunday and i
gave it on Jesus Christ and the Atonement. I talked about how the
prophet Jacob in the Book of Mormon said we should seek to obtain a
perfect knowledge in Christ and in His atonement. So i talked about
His atonement. It is something that most people know about but not
much about. What does it mean? Why the big sacrifice? How does it
work? These are some questions to think about. And i invite everyone
to think about them especially during this special season where we
celebrate this Prince of Peace and Mighty Counselor, Jesus Christ. He
was born, He suffered for us, He died on the cross, He he ressurected
himself. All so we can have joy.

Everyone have a great week!
