Got Grace? 06/21/21

Hey!!! How is everyone doing?:) Georgia has been good (lots of rain this week)

Two zone conferences ago, all the missionaries were put into groups to make some videos on Wednesday night then President told us we could get together to watch them! (Also watch a movie about the construction of the Salt Lake Temple) Not only could we watch the videos but we could come in casual clothes with snacks. My district and one other district that meets regularly in the building watched together! I thought it was super wack, but it was fun to watch all of the videos from around the Mission! 

Feliz día de los Padres!!! (ayer) for Father's day in the Stone Mountain Spanish Ward there was a BBQ. Hermana Anderson and I invited ALL of our friends we are teaching (including English class students) to come! One family came, which was so fun to have them meet the ward and to celebrate together! Our Centerville Ward had treats passed around on Sunday too and the cute primary kids sang!!!

This week we found two more new people to teach English which is awesome! Teaching English is a big service opportunity for us missionaries. We always start and end the classes with prayers and we ask to share a spiritual message at the end so we can tie the Gospel in! 

During personal study one of the days this week I listened to a talk by David A. Bednar titled, "In the Strength of the Lord" that he gave at a BYU devotional. At one point in the devotional he talks about Grace. He says that "Grace is the enabling power of the Savior" This really stuck out to me because we all need grace, and only His grace allows us to reach our full potential. He mentions many stories in the scriptures where the people cry for his help and that his grace gives them the power to conquer the trial at hand. I know that only through Christ we can have this enabling power we need. I want to invite you all to continue to pray for His grace because through it we can do all things!
