I am glad they called me on a mission

I miss you all. I've got 5 minutes left and about 14 pages of notes from Zone Conference with Elder Zwick of the Seventy to share...

"I will not limit my capacity to what I think it is. I will let Heavenly Father expand my capacity. And he will." This is one of the themes of our Zone Conference and Sister Zwick made us write it down and promise it. I love the "And he will" part because we need to know that he really really will!

The Spirit is a teacher that Heavenly Father sent to Earth to dwell with each of his children if they show that they are willing to follow Jesus Christ. This teacher is a member of the Godhead and he is a force to be reckoned with. He knows what to do in every situation and can guide and counsel us in our unique situations. He is here to help us be happy, recognize absolute truth, and to prepare to return and live with our Heavenly Father again. I am so grateful for the Spirit.

Love you all!

The Atonement Covers All Pain!

Hey all!

So here is a little spiritual thought for your week. It comes from the
April 2011 General Conference talk "The Atonement Covers All Pain."


We all have little things inside of us under the surface of our skin.
The size, deepness, and severity of position all vary amidst us.
While, these things are troublesome, not all of them cause infection.
Many of them we can endure life with even though it typically brings
discomfort. Yet, life is never as full and whole while we have foreign
or unwelcome things inside us. Fortunately, there is a perfect
Surgeon. However, to remove it he must inflict MORE pain for a brief
period of time. Then he knows exactly how to reduce the pain and heal
the wound.

I know this is true. I've experienced this changing power of the
Atonement of Jesus Christ. We can turn to him in all our weakness and
not be judged or mistreated. He will care for us perfectly if we ask
and allow him to be the source of that healing. No other source or
coping mechanism will fully heal us. I love Him for all he has done
for me and for all his Brothers and Sisters. We are truly lucky to
have the opportunity to learn and to grow without suffering all the
penalties for our mistakes or the mistakes of others. Pain is
essential to growth an d the Atonement covers it all.

Love, Sister Hudson
