10.12.17

Hola hola friends and fam,

 Monday morning i hop on a bus full of my latinos friends and head to the Northwest mission!! I'm indeed the only person over 5 foot 6 headed to my mission so lets go boys. Soo this weeks email is going to be a little different since I dont really have much to say about the CCM. Im kind of getting tired of enchiladas and tamales every morning for breakfast and I'm ready to get out and go to work. hahah my spanish isn't nearly as good as i want it to be but its pretty crazy that in 6 weeks i learned the gospel in english, and then in spanish. This week was pretty hard because i saw two of my close friends that i met here in CCM head home. It was super hard to see them go but whatever happens, happens for a reason. 

 Id just like to share my testimony about our Savior Jesucristo. Throughout my time here I've had some awesome ups and some rough downs. but I know every step of the way, I was not alone. Our Savior has experienced and felt the same feelings that we feel during some of our most rough times. Alone in silence in the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ knelt and took upon the sins of the whole world. Even though his life was free of sin, he paid the ultimate price for all the people in the world. His pains were so great that he bled from every pore. and he did this willingly so that we all could be clean through repentance and faith. After he took upon him the pains of the world, he continued to be beaten, mocked, spit upon, then was crucified on the cross. He had the power to change the past situations in many ways, but he allowed himself to be beaten, abused, humiliated, executed. Why? Because he loves us and wants us to be able to receive the priceless gift of immortality and be able to live with our families forever. Everyone has access to atonement.  Come unto Christ and be perfected in him.

Love, Elder Broadhead
