As a missionary I get the opportunity to be in places that most people
wouldn't ever dream to be in. One Sunday afternoon I was walking through
the village and came to our investigators house where we found our two
investigators practically passed out on the floor suffering from
Malaria. After getting permission, we helped them to get to the hospital
and got the branch involved with helping them in their sick and
helpless state. It was such a parable of Christ. Christ comes and finds
us in our fallen, helpless state and he lifts us. He gets us the help we
need. He pays the debts we cannot pay. He heals us. He brings us safely
home. As I have been on a mission I have seen the affects of the
Atonement not only in the people we teach but in myself. The Atonement
reaches down to the depths of despair and lifts you up. And truly we are
His hands. I know that every time we repent and are forgiven for our
sins it is a miracle. Every time we see a weakness become a little
stronger it is a miracle. Christ is not only in the big picture but He
is in the small details. I know that He lives and that He is ready and
willing to lift us higher if we desire and come to Him. He is my best
friend, exemplar, and Savior and no matter what I will put my all on the
altar for Him.
