Hello from Conyers! The promised land!



Howdy,

How's everyone doing today? Don't have much time today... about 5 minutes left so I'll keep it short and simple!
We've been so blessed to be working with an incredible family... it's the same one that I wrote about previously that have been living in a not so perfect living situation...

 anyways.... just wanted to give everyone an update on what has happened! After that lesson, we commited them to live the Word of Wisdom... to drop it right then a there and go cold-turkey. Now, I'm sure many of you can imagine (or perhaps even know from expereince) just how hard that must be for someone to do... especially so unexpected. Nearly impossible... right? Right.... but luckily we know that all things are possible with the Lord. 

Fast forward one week and we recieve a voicemail from the member friend that had been working closely with us with this incredible family... we boot up the voice-mail... and well, long story short, my companion and I jumped up and down, gave a few high-fives and then dropped to our knees and prayed and thanked the Lord... the father had given EVERYTHING up and had made it for the entire week.

 The power of the Atonement is REAL. There is much more to the story... but I can testify to each of you that all things are possible with the Lord. He and you together as a team have power to overcome all sin... all obstacles... all pains and sufferings... the power of the Atonement... the power to change and become our true selves is real. Follow Him. Rely on Him. He is there for you. He WILL help you. More on this story next week!

Love y'all tons!

-Elder Wahlen
