This past week has been one of the most special weeks for all of us. A time to celebrate and remeber what Jesus Christ did for each of us. When he went to the garden of Gethsemane and bled from every pore for our sins. he suffered both in the spirit and in the flesh. I know that because of his suffering there we can be forgiven of our sins. We still have to do our parts, but our parts would be nothing without the aid of the Saviour and Redeemer. Also getting to celebrate his Resurrection on Sunday morning as well as hearing from the apostles and prophets. That was such a remarkable experience. I love M. Russell Ballard's talk in priesthood session on raising the bar. I know that I need to raise the bar, so that when I stand before my Maker I can say I can hear the words, Well done thou good and faithful servant.
Yesterday I was able to go down to the temple with some amazing members here in Carlisle. They drove the 120 miles down to the temple for us and did a session. I was able to do temple work for one of my ancestors that had passed on in the 1750's. I know he had been waiting a long time for someone to help him on his journey back. As well as I had a really spiritual experience in the temple. That reconfirmed my testimony of the church. I am so thankful for my testimony. And the testimonies of others that have been offered in the hardest and easiest of times. I know that because of Jesus Christ we will all be able to see our loved ones again. the gosple of Jesus Christ is real and it does change hearts.
It's transfers this week. I will be staying in Carlisle and my companion Elder Singh will be headed out to one of my favourite places Stockport! I am thankful for my time with him and his humble attitude. I love yous all,
Love Elder hammond
