New year, new prophet, and new horizons...

My first companion and another Elder from MTC
             

     Well it's been another rockin' week here in Texas Houston South. It's been a really good but tough week for me personally. We found some amazing new investigators! One is already preparing to be baptized on February 24th of this year #MasQueNunca2K18! He is truly looking for peace and is progressing very quickly. Another investigator is still doing well, he didn't come to church this week, I guess he had a family thing to go to but we are looking forward to seeing him tonight and talking about the Plan of Salvation. He is still working towards his baptism on the 17th of February.  We have seen some really amazing things this week in the District also, there is a lot more faith and increase of energy this transfer! I have been studying a lot about the Atonement and faith and accountability this week. One of the things that I have really realized is that it begins with a funny little word... YOU. You must be the one to act first before anything happens, and it's amazing that we have that option. After we demonstrate our faith (praying, reading in the Scriptures, going to church, etc...) then are those blessings shown unto us. Only after we go to Christ is He then able to apply the power of the Atonement. There's a pattern isn't there? Anyway, pretty stellar how the Atonement and faith work. I know it's true and the Savior's grace is that little(or big) light that helps us through the tunnel. Have a killer week! 
Love,
