Pack the bags

The news for this week is that I got transferred to Lyon. I didn't think I would leave Geneva but I will have fun in Lyon.

On Sunday, during sacrament meeting, they asked me to come up. I wasn't sure what to share but I tried to be inspired. The spirit led me to testify of one of the most important events in human history: the atonement of Jesus Christ.

One the greatest problems of the believing world is just that- it's a belief. For too many people, God is just a nice idea, but he doesn't dwell in the literalness that we know. I know that Jesus Christ is the literal, living son of our literal, living God. He came to earth, lived, and died, before redeeming his body from death. He proclaimed to the Nephites, "will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you?" I have asked myself this question many times. I know that He has the power to heal, for he has healed me.

In the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, amen.

Saying goodbye to those in Geneva was tough. One day I'll go back. I saw many miracles there and, by the end of my time, certain people were starting to show their fruits of repentance, which is all that I ever wanted to see.

Elder Kelsey helped my learn a lot and I am thankful for his influence. It's time now for an adventure in Lyon with Elder Battezzato.

Love,
Elder Marshall Underwood
