This week was a hard last one in Swindon I spent most of it being sick and having back problems. But on Sunday we were able to go to stake conference and we were able to hear from one of the area seventy. The whole conference was about the Atonement or at least that is what I took out of it the most, and I absolutely loved it. I loved hearing about starting over and becoming clean. I feel like I make dumb decisions all the time and that I am constantly having to wipe the slate clean and start over, that is why I am so incredibly grateful for the Atonement because of our Saviour we can actually wipe the slate clean and we can actually start over. I’ve been thinking about the Atonement a lot lately because with Transfers I can move to a new area put away my mistakes from the last area and try to do things better this time. I think also with New Years we all feel that same way the hope of starting new and making goals and plans. But something that I’m learning more and more is that I need to repent now and be the change that I wanna see today not tomorrownot the first of the month or the first of the year but now. I’ve learned I’m a bit of a procrastinator and I’m realising more and more that time goes quick and if I don’t try my best today I might not get another chance later.
I’m grateful that I’ve been able to serve in Swindon even if it’s the shortest I’ve ever stayed anywhere I’ve met people who have made me better and I have had some of my greatest companions here. Hopefully I’ve helped the area in a way but it has definitely helped me.
