One year mark?!?!

This week I have been really looking to know more about my Savior and the Atonement that he willingly gave to us. We are teaching a lot of people that don't really comprehend what the importance our Savior is in our life. How can I teach people if I don't recognize the great impact Jesus Christ has for me?

I was studying about our Heavenly Father and I found a scripture in John 14:7,9 that says if you recognize Jesus Christ then you will know our Father in Heaven. After reading this I looked more into understanding the Sacrifice and how He chose to be the Sacrifice before we were on the earth and he had that love for us even before we were born. And how God loves us so much that he gave willingly his only begotten son for us. I was thinking really hard about this and how I can apply my love for the Savior for people here in Brasil in my areas. I have seen the people from a different aspect and I saw when I put that into our lessons the people have a better understanding for our visits.

I want you all to be able to know the Savior (Salvador) because in know the difference it can make in our life either on a mission or not. As we put God and Christ in the first place we will find pure joy that nobody can take from us. This is what keeps us going in life. I know I couldn't serve without recognizing the love he has for me and the people in the world!
