Sunday, went to church, all good. Normally we prepare the sacrament, one tray of bread, one of water, and we always end up with half the water cups left over because not many people come to church here. We got it all set up, and were sitting at the sacrament table as the meeting started and more and more people started to show up. Eventually the room was filled up, and they started setting up more chairs. I quickly did the math of how many sacrament cups we had, and counted the people in church, and realized that we didn't have enough water cups for everyone. I smiled as I had to slip out to prepare another tray. I never would have thought that in this area we would have so many people in church. It was a blessing for sure, and the testimonies afterwards were very powerful and full of gratitude.
With the sacrament on my mind, I started thinking about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and it hit me really hard how much love He has for us. Think about it. The most powerful and perfect being to walk on this earth, the literal Son of God, suffered, bled, and died so that when all is said and done, He'll have the chance to be with you again. All that, so that you have the opportunity to live with our Heavenly Father and your family happily forever. All that so that you can be freed from sin. He went through all that pain so that when you feel tired, stressed, sad, frustrated, or any other kind of suffering, you can know that there is someone who loves you. Someone who loves you enough to give His life for you. And that someone is the most important individual this world has ever known. It's insane and I'm so grateful for the love Christ and our Heavenly Father have for us. I know that they live and love us, and I share that in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
I hope you all have a great week, check out our great May the Fourth pics.
