Alma 37:37 Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for bgood;
yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may
watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the cmorning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.
Good Morning everyone! I hope you enjoy
that picture I just sent haha :) There's a funny story there haha. (picture below)
Oh hey! We got transfer calls this past
Saturday! I found out that I will be leaving the Springdale Zone and I'm headed
20 minutes up the road to be a Zone Leader for the Rogers Arkansas Zone with
Elder Van Woerkem! haha! I'm so excited! i'm going back to Rogers. That’s the
zone that has Bentonville 2nd ward in it. The ward I served in last summer with
Elder Koetting. I'm soooo excited. Belle Vista is the area I will be serving
in. I know Elder Van Woerkem pretty well already. He's been in Rogers for a
couple transfers, and I've served around him a lot on my mission. I'm really
excited. Really sad to be leaving the Springdale Zone and the Har-Ber Ward but
really excited to be going back to the Rogers Zone.
Anyways this week was great! Yesterday
was a good Easter Sunday. I got to speak in church yesterday. I spoke about
Grace and the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I love speaking in church. I want to
send it to you but I also kind of don't want to because I'm going to use a lot
of the material I used in this talk for my homecoming talk. But I don't know.
We'll see.
Anyways, the XXXXs came to church
yesterday. A family that wants to investigate the church but the dad is always
out at the oil fields for like months at a time. So it's tough. But they are
such an awesome family. They are so kind and the love the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. Hopefully we will get to teach them someday soon. XXXXX wasn't able to
make it to church yesterday, she was out of town. But we taught her on Wednesday
this past week and she is still doing good!
I'm so grateful for the Atonement of
Jesus Christ. I've been thinking about it ALOT lately. I mean that’s all we
teach people so I think about it a lot anyways, but especially with it being Easter.
I love Jesus Christ. I'm so grateful for His life and His example. This life is
too hard to go through on our own. We all make mistakes that we cannot fix on
our own. We might think that we can and we might try, but at the end of the
day, we need the Grace that Jesus Christ has to offer us. And He is always
there, always willing. We just have to have Faith in him. I'm so grateful for
the opportunity to serve a mission and to serve the Lord. I love this work and
I love all of you!
Love,
Elder Sherwood
