Atonement/Forgiveness

Time is flyin by!!!!
It has been another great week to be a missionary. We had zone conference this past week, so three zones got together for a few hours of training. President Blatter gave a training on Grace which was really good. I had this weird third person thought process through out the day, but I was able to receive some good revelation.

 One of the thoughts I had was on the word "shedding".  We know that there was a physical suffering or shedding that took place through out the atonement mostly in the garden of Gethsemane where he suffered for all our sicknesses, sufferings, temptations, and pains, so he could understand how to draw us near to his father and to give us a way to shed ourselves of imperfections. If life was easy, then the painful performance of the atonement would have been easy, but we know life is hard. Therefore the suffering of the son was for a suffering world. He shed blood so we could shed sin.   

I love all of you so much... time is really going by fast.
