1) the REALITY of the GIFT of TONGUES -- particularly as it applies to missionaries
2) getting a letter from "Dawnello" -- it's always good to keep in touch with old friends
3) the new journal I bought
4) having a knowledge that all is well at home
5) receiving yet another uplifting letter from Elder Stone
30 min of Callanetics; 50 push-ups; (couldn't run due to ankle problems)
We again spoke all in Russian in class tonight -- it was wonderful (see insert).
INSERT (small notebook page taped into the journal): I am having the most awesome experience! I am feeling the Spirit as we discuss the atonement in Russian. Oh, how sweet! Truly the Spirit is not bounded by language, but always he testifies of truth and what an awesome truth this is: {iskupleniye} atonement! {Ya xochy podelitsa etim principom i vsyo yevangyeliye c russkim lyudyea} I want to share this principle and all of the gospel with the Russian people. I am so grateful to be my Savior's messenger of such a {prekrasniy} message! {Eto kruto!} It's cool!
(End of insert)
We were also invited to write our feelings about the atonement in our {dnevnik) journal.
I have but a small idea of what the atonement really is... yet the more I learn, the more I treasure the knowledge of the reality of it. Christ, my brother and God's son, gave his life for me! He suffered beyond what I can imagine and through that, I can be forgiven of my sins, live with my Father, and become like him. How grateful I am for this! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
