Good Morning!

Dear Family and Friends,

This week has been the greatest week of my life. I have learned a lot about adversity and its purpose. I have also learned a lot about joy from repentance. In this life there is opposition in all things. Opposition gives us a choice. Without it we wouldn't have agency. Without agency we would never learn. If we could never learn we would never progress. And without progression we are damned. When ever we make good choices or start to do the right things in life opposition will come so we can have a choice. Now comes the test, what will we choose? Now, nobody is perfect and therefore we are separated from Heavenly Father forever unless there is an "atonement made and repentance granted". All that is unfair and wrong about life and our choices can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. He can forgive us, comfort us, and enable us. We can have Eternal Life through the atonement of Jesus Christ.  I love this gospel. I love my mission. I love the people here and pray for them constantly. Satan is seeking to destroy us but he has no power over the atonement of Jesus Christ. We are at war everyday with the adversary and he knows he is going to lose. The only success he can ever experience is if he destroys our lives. "Watch therefor that ye may be ready".

Well, at church we had 43 people. We had great talks and 4 less actives returning. All of our recent converts were there and the spirit was amazing. We also have 5 youth going to the temple in April to do baptisms. We have great investigators that we have found through less active members and people are actually reading the Book of Mormon and praying. What more could i ask for?

There really isn't that many stories this week because it went so fast. In fact i don't even know what happened this week. I love ya family and hope all is well. Keep being the great people you are and always remember to keep the faith.

Love Elder Stuart
