Hello one and all from Atlanta



Hello y'all,
Everyone doing good? How's your day been? How about your week? The weather here has been amazing... but you know what's more amazing than that? You are. Did you know that you're a child of God? One that has a Heavenly Father???? How incredible is that!!! You're amazing!!! Never forget that.

So.... I thought about sharing some experiences this week... 

but I feel that I should share (briefly) something that I learned this week in my studies. It's about prayer. Did you know that prayer is considered work? This is really interesting... cause if you remember, we'll be judged by our desires and our works... so in some part, we'll be judged by our prayers. Also, faith without works is dead... so that means that we MUST pray to keep our faith strong. But you know something else that's cool about prayers??? It's an act of aligning our will with our Heavenly Fathers... in other words, as we pray and ask for things that not only we want, but that our Heavenly Father wants... He will give it to us. As we align our lives with the gospel... and as we're obedient... and as we learn what our Heavenly Father wants for us (which is all of the good and happy things in life) we can then pray with absolute surety and ask for the amazing gifts that He has in store for us that He's just waiting to give us... but only on condition that we ask for them. 

In short... we MUST pray to receive our Heavenly Fathers most precious gifts and blessings... He wants to give them to you! He wants you to be happy! If we simply live the gospel... and we ask in faith... we shall recieve. I invite each of you to not only pray every night this week but to really search out and ponder what gifts is God waiting to give you on condition that you ask for them... what does He want that you want as well???? Search, ponder and pray about that... and I promise you that you shall find and recieve.

I love you.... God loves you and Christ loves you. Have a blessed week! Pray lots!

-Elder Wahlen
