Hermana Bloxham - Halfway done! :(

Hey family and friends!!
This week has been a pretty good week! We had a really good experience
last night. We got a call from one of our members that she needed help
with her visiting teaching right then. Luckily we had a lesson cancel
and we had time to go help her! We went over to another members house
and taught the visiting teaching message for the month about the life
of Christ and how it has helped our lives. I had a really cool
experience that I felt like I should talk about the mother of Christ
and how she was an amazing example of the type of mother we could be
and how we can learn from Christ that his mother was amazing. She had
tears in her eyes as she shared her fears that her son wouldn't grow
up to be strong in the church and that she is trying really hard to
become better and she is trying her best to help her son be the best
he can be. It was a huge testimony to me that the spirit truly puts
words into our mouths and we can make a difference in the peoples
lives that we work with.
With Oriana this week we talked about repentance and we got to talk
about how through our trials the Savior can lift us up and lift us out
of our problems if we let him. Just like in the scripture in 3 Nephi
27:14 that says that Christ was put upon this earth with a purpose and
that purpose came from God. His purpose was to be lifted up upon the
cross so that we can have the chance to be lifted up to the father to
be judged of our works. I know that that is true because I can feel
and look back on the times that he has lifted me up way past what I
have been before. And for that I am so grateful because without him we
would all have to live in our sin and never be able to know complete
joy.
I love our savior and I know that he was our perfect example and that
through him we can feel complete joy and happiness. This Gospel will
help us through every hard time we have because our Heavenly Father
and Jesus Christ love us so much that they don't want us to suffer if
we will just let them help.

I love you all so much and want you to know that I couldn't do this
without all of your help and prayers.

Love,

Hermana Jessica Bloxham :)
