Read Alma-August 17, 2009

Dear family and friends,

I hope y'all had a great week. Things here are going really well.

Tuesday we had dinner with one of our investigators named Elena. We had only taught her once before about the Restoration. And a few days later we stopped by to see how she was doing and she invited us over for dinner. After dinner she asked us what the deal with no smoking and no coffee was, so we taught her the word of wisdom. The spirit was very strong there and I could she her softing as we taught. By the end of the lesson she said it all made perfect sense and she told us she wants to stop smoking. She has tried many times before to quit. We talked about praying and other ways to help her stop smoking. She is a great lady. How grateful I am for a loving Heavenly Father that is always there for us. He is always watching over us and He will help us over come anything if we just turn to Him put our trust in Him.

This week we also taught Mike, Dorothy, and Craig the beginning of the Plan of Salvation. We focused most of the lesson one the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Craig has a lot of things he needs to over come right now and he told us he does not feel worthy. He just doesn't see how much worth he is in the sight of God. Christ came and He suffered for all of our sins. His Atonement covers everything. He provide a way for us to be clean and to return to live with Heavenly Father again. And He did it all because He loves us, that is how precious we are to Him. > > I love being able to share these glad tidings with people. There is no great joy then seeing someone let the Atonement take affect in their lives.

Oh and here is a funny, but true, quote from one of our investigators, "If you've got problems read Alma. Everything is in Alma." So if you have problems go read the book of Alma in the Book of Mormon for you will find an answer there.

I love y'all .

Love,
Sister Keys
