missionary mondays.

My best friend Matthew Bécar is serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for the next two years in Berlin, Germany. Every Monday I get an email from him and he gives me some great advice. Here are some bits and pieces of inspiration I've received recently.

"Find little victories in every day and remember to look up."

"A 5 minute sip from the scriptures goes along way to satisfy spiritual thirst, don't forget to drink deeply when you can, though."

"By partaking deeply and daily of His eternal sacrifice, we may earn our salvation. We often talk about how infinite the atonement is. How it is for everyone and applies to every man who has been or will be born, but I think we confuse ourselves. We talk about the atonement as if it was a big blanket sacrifice. It was not. He atoned for you. You individually. The atonement is not only infinite, it is intimate. How else could Jesus know exactly how to succor His people?"

What a lovely thought it is that our Heavenly Father really does know us. Our Savior suffered for us. We are loved and being watched over. That's an excellent reason to be happy!
