Hello from TX!

Hey, y'all! Thanks so much for all of your emails :) It is so good to hear from the people that I love so much! 

I've had a great week! It's been really busy- like usual :) Earlier in the week, I received a priesthood blessing. I LOVE hearing from Heavenly Father and am so grateful that the priesthood has been restored to the Earth! Our investigator, M is doing so well! Her husband, J is working towards receiving the Aaronic Priesthood so that he can baptize her! They are a really fun couple to teach :) On Thursday, we went to the temple with Sister Borth! It was so great- I love the temple so so so much! I learned a lot! Last night, we taught a Spanish less active member and he told me basically that I really sound like a white girl when I try to speak! hahaha- Gosh! I am trying! Yo soy un gringo. :) 

Transfer Calls came! I will be staying here in Dalhart/ Tucumcari and Sister LaBare (Luhh-Bear) is joining me here! It will be great! All I know about her is that she only has a few months left- stay tuned for more deets :) 

I learned something really neat this week. In Sunday School, we were learning about the Atonement and then the Holy Ghost taught me that Temple Work and the Atonement go hand-in-hand. If you believe in the Savior's Atonement, then you believe in vicarious work. Jesus Christ did something for us that we never would have been able to do for ourselves. His ultimate sacrifice makes all things possible to overcome and provides the way for us to return to live with Him again. We are blessed with the opportunity to go to the temple and do so much work(saving ordinances) for those that can't do it on their own! They need us and we need them! The church is absolutely true. I love y'all :) Have a great week!

Love,

Sister Evans
