Hey Everyone,
This week has been
really good. Things are moving right along.
A few days ago I was
reading in First Nephi 18. and I ready vs. 1-2 saying how when they were building
the ship they were commanded to build they "did not work the timbers after
the manner which was learned by men, neither did they build the ship after the
manner of men, but after the manner which the Lord had shown unto
them." For some reason this verse really stuck out to me. As we go
through life there are 2 ways that we can live (build our ships): after the manner
of the world (men) or after the manner which the Lord will show unto us. We
don't know what would have happened had Nephi and his brothers built the ship
after the manner they had known as men. I can guess they never would have made
it to the Promised Land. They would have been destroyed by the waves that
over took them on their journey. Either way we can choose to take the path the
Lord reveals to us or we can take the path the world says is right. We all want
to make it to the promised land (eternal life in God's kingdom as families) it
is up to us if you will build a ship strong enough to withstand the waves that
Satan will send our way as we journey there. Food for thought.
I got
an email from Elder Morley (my comp from transfer 4) today. This was a little
bit that he put in just to keep me informed.
Ojok is a stud! Nice work with him man. He is the Elders Quorum instructor and he is powerful! Bruno is also the 1st counselor in the Elders Quorum and the new night guard at the church ha. You did wonderful things in the area and branch and I, the Lord, and the people here will forever be grateful.
The gospel WILL change people’s
lives. They will be blessed with peace, love, joy, knowledge, opportunities to
learn, anything and everything they can imagine. As it is learned the spirit
comes into our lives and we will be led my God. (Mormon 5:17-18) As we follow
him we are led by him. If not then we have no promise (D&C somewhere).
"The study of true doctrine can change behavior (life) more than the study
of behavior will change behavior."
The Church is true, the
Gospel is pure, and God lives and loves us. This I know.
Love you all, Have a
good week.
