The Desire, A Will, All Given Freely

Oh Family, I love you all and am not sure what I am going to write about this week....

We had Zone Conference and heard from President, who shared some imspired words that we as missionaries needed to hear, we need to work harder, we need to improve, anyways, I feel so impressed that I need to change if I am to become a missionary. I say become a missionary because I feel like I am not one. Its a process. We are all going through this similar process, whether we are moving forward or backwards, we are all becoming missionaries. The only things is, are we actually trying to change and do better? Are we really good at repently, daily and joyfully?

This week we also had more service and guess what!?! Stacking wood again! These Swiss people really like wood. I think all of them chop wood all day and then ask the missionaries to come by and stack it, haha, who knows?:) That is a hard and tough job but I enjoy service projects. Well, nothing else significant happened this week so why not share a spiritual thought?

In my personal study, I have been truly, deeply trying to understand the life of Jesus Christ. I feel so impressed with the Atonement. I know that I can email and tell you how I feel but you wont feel understand the deepness of understanding and love that Jesus has for all of us. I realized that Jesus Christ truly gave everything for us. He couldnt feel pain. He couldnt die. Yet He died. He suffered incredbile pains. How is this so? He loved us. He loves us. Jesus Christ willed Himself to feel pain.

How many of us would force pain upon ourselves? How many of us, if we could control the ability of life, would force death upon ourselves in order for others to be happy? I am so impressed with this this past week. Jesus truly performed the greatest sacrifice, full of love, charity for each one of us. I stand all amazed. Really I do, He suffered, and dead because He wanted to. He wanted to do it for us. Incredible. Well, I know you may read this and not have a huge impact on you, but I feel so deep inside that Jesus, loves each and every single one of us. I love Him! And I love all of you, hop to hear from you soon!

Love,
Elder Annen
