Burden Baskets...Leave your burdens at the door

Hey everyone. The mission is super good. This week was super busy. We only had 3 days of proselyting. The rest was a bunch of meetings. We have a bunch more meetings coming up too. We have zone conference this Thursday. A mission tour from a General Authority and a temple trip coming up. But anyways we had stake conference yesterday. Our Stake President talked about Native American burden baskets. So Natives used to carry around baskets to pick berries and fruit and things and then bring them home but they never brought the baskets inside their homes. They wanted to leave the burdens of the world outside the door. Well he told us that we need to leave our burdens at the door. Any burdens that are making our basket heavy, that we have been carrying around for a while. Or any burden that needs to be taken care of. Even if you've been carrying it for years. Let the atonement take care of your burdens. The atonement is very real and can fix everything. We all have burdens we need to leave with Christ. Whether it be jealously, anger, unrepentant sins, etc. I have a very strong testimony of the atonement. Not just being forgiven of our sins but the enabling power of the atonement too. Christ can help us and give us the strength to get through anything. So choose today to leave your burdens at he door. Love you all and always turn towards Christ.
