I love the little things. Little moments and details help me see how near God is to us. This week I found joy in surprise attack hugs from the little children in our wards, in delicious gluten-free enchiladas, in hearing the voice of the Lord speak to me from the scriptures and through the priesthood, and seeing our investigators smile.
We walked into an investigator's home four days ago, and she stopped us and said: "now, I know we like to start with a prayer, but before we do anything, I want to let you guys know that I've decided to be baptized." And the rest is history. I couldn't stop smiling. She has come so far! From when her husband died, and told her he wished she could be with him forever, to going through severe depression and withdrawals, and finally choosing to meet with us and come to church every week: now her light is brilliant and growing each day!I LOVE THE POWER OF THE ATONEMENT
Heavenly Father is always poignantly aware of us. As I have taken the time to notice how aware he truly is, my heart has been filled to overflowing and my burdens have been made light. It seems that every wonderful thing comes to me as I focus on bringing souls unto Christ.
"And now, my brethren, how is it possible that ye can lay hold upon every good thing? And now I come to that faith of which I said I would speak; and I will tell you the way whereby ye may lay hold on every good thing. for behold, God knowing all things being from everlasting to everlasting behold, he sent angels to minister unto the children of men, to make manifest concerning the coming of Christ; and in Christ there should come every good thing." -Moroni 7:20-22

His whole desire is for us to partake of the goodness of God. It is ours for the taking.
Choose this day to more fully receive Christ's Atonement for you by prayerfully studying the doctrines of the Book of Mormon and applying them to your lives. There is tremendous power in that book. It clarifies and supports the holy Bible and invites the Spirit to enlighten our minds as we humbly seek to know of its divine origins. It's just awesome.
