Days of Eni's life

Today was a very uplifting day at church. I wanted to see Edy teach, so I went to the Gospel Principles class. The lesson was about who we are, our relationship with God. First of all, we need to truly understand that God is our literal Heavenly Father. He created us before we came to this earth, we are His spirit children. We lived with Him before we came to earth. As we learn this, and get our conviction about this simple fact, we begin to understand where we stand in His plan. We are not outcast, He is not punishing us by sending us in this world. On the contrary, we are here because He loves us, and He wants us to go back home to Him. We are here to obtain a body, then to learn step by step to make right choices, to become more like our Father. As we do so, we will one day return to Him, and inherit everything He has. Yes, we fail along the way, but we have our Savior Jesus Christ to rely on. He atoned for us, and in return, we can repent every day, we can be baptized and clea...

It's May - I haven't written since the end of March - I skipped Easter, two trips to Szeged, Labor day... so here I am writing again. I was going through some of my things today, and I found an essay I wrote on my mission about the atonement. It was an assignment President Lundberg gave us. I read it today, and I want to share it with you. I hope you will enjoy it.  THE ATONEMENT                 The atonement is the most important event in the history of humankind. It is Christ's selfless sacrifice, which comprises his sinless life, his sufferings in the Garden of Gethsemane, the beating and mocking that followed, his crucification, and his glorious resurrection. Questions are asked regarding it: why is it necessary? how was it accomplished? who needs the atonement? how can one use it in their life? what are the blessings we can enjoy because of it? Thanks to the scriptures we have received, we can answer each of these q...

Today I was too tired at church. I was supposed to translate for the senior couple for all three hours, but after sacrament meeting, my brain was fried. We had Sunday school with Sora Mogos, and to be honest, it felt good to enjoy a lesson without having to translate (I asked Elder Wirthlin to do it). We had a lesson about Jesus Christ, and we all shared what we knew about Him, and tried to learn from each other. At one point, we started talking about the atonement. As we were talking, I started understanding something about Jesus Christ that I knew before, but didn't really comprehend it, it only sunk in today. It started while talking about the greatest commandment in the scriptures: to love God with all our heart, and our fellow men as ourselves. I thought about him leading the people of Israel in the old days (the old testament times).I thought about his life, the miracles he performed. I thought of his sacrifice. I thought of him leading the church today. Why has he done ...
