Sanctification through the atonement and choices



Well another week done. This week was a lot of walking and a lot of sun! Its about 95 degrees right now but for a white kid who is used to the colder weather of Utah right now it feels even hotter. We have two more baptisms coming up this week and a third one planned for next week.
The ones for this weeks names are Hma R and her daughter R. They are both really receptive and excited to be baptized. The one for next weeks name is M. she is 9 and is super shy but is super happy. Her mom is a catholic but is with her daughter in all the lessons and is learning a lot with her daughter and is considering baptism as well.

One thing that is really frustrating is when you and your investigator feel the spirit during a lesson and your both all psyched to come back and teacher more and when you come back they haven't changed at all and its like starting all over. Its really hard because you know they felt something during your previous lesson but Satan likes to play his little games so its difficult for them to see the point between lessons.

As far as Spanish goes I feel like this past week ive finally passed some kind of wall. I by no means am fluent but I understand a lot more than i feel like I did even a week ago! Its so nice to see help from The Lord and improvement.

One last thing. My companion and I have been studying sanctification in our personal study for the last 2 days and its really cool I found about 30 scriptures about the importance of, and the way to sanctification. Here are some of them. Study if you please. Helaman 3:35, D&C 88:67-69, Mosiah 3:19, Moroni 7:30, Hebrews 13:20, Moroni 10:33. The only thing that makes it possible for sanctification is the Atonement of course but if we make an effort to cast out the evil in our lives and improve then the Atonement and Christ are right there to sanctify us and make us better.
