Goodbye Idabel

Welp we got transfer news... Both Elder Park and I are leaving. He is going back to Mckinney and I'm going to be a district leader in Brownlee Louisiana! This last week of the transfer has been fun and some funny memories made! We watched a 7 year old kid get bit by his own dog and not cry that was pretty insane! It had been a fun but sad p day saying good bye to everyone. I'm gonna miss this area a lot I changed tremendously as person and missionary as I have served here and came closer to my savior Jesus Christ. One of my favorite things that I learned while serving here is about the enabling power of the atonement, Christ's  atonement is not only there for when we make mistakes and need to repent even though we do need that everyday. It is also there for anything else we go through in this life. Jesus Christ took on all of our pains and afflictions we will ever go through. When we are sick he has felt it when we broke an arm he has felt it. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that his atonement covers everything. 

Alma 7:11-12

11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

Love y'all, Elder Thomas
