It never ceases to amaze me how the entirety of the Gospel is founded around love. As we look at the plan of salvation we can recognize that love is the base of it. Our Father created it perfectly because He loves us and wants us to be able to return to His presence and be like Him. I have been learning a lot about this lately helping people prepare to got to the temple so that they can partake of these blessings. This last week it was really cool because one of the young converts Vivian was able to go to the temple and do baptisms for the dead. As she returned you could see the love she had received from her Father in Heaven because in her testimony in church she invited all those that have not gone to go and be closer to their Father. She shared similar words with her brother Oscar and her mom Juana. They both got excited and want to feel what she felt now. Oscar has been progressing and he talked with his dad about going on a mission and his dad who is way inactive said yes but you have to start preparing now. Our Heavenly Father loves us so much and opens up the pathways so that we can progress in our lives. As we share the love we have with others and show our love being obedient to our Father in Heaven we will be eternally blessed.
I know that Jesus Christ died because He loves us and wants all of us to return and live with Him. Because of His love and Grace we can all keep progressing no matter how many times, or how hard we fall. He will help us up. I know this to be true with all my heart.
Love,
Elder Hancock
