Favorite Scripture:
Mosiah 18:8-9
"And it came to pass that he said unto them: Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another's burdens, that they may be light;
Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life."
Neat Story:
Sister Norton says,
"I love being a missionary. I feel like a rock being tumbled and refined. I'm so happy all the time! I am so grateful for this time. I know how important the scriptures are. I realize just how important "this life" is! It determines our eternity! I love the Book of Mormon. The gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth through a modern day prophet! Heavenly Father loves us that much! He wants us to be happy and has provided us ways to be happy.
In the Book of Mormon we are taught so many things that will lead us back to Him. We must accept Jesus and do our part and live our lives in a way to return back to Him!
The stories are real. It was written for us. We must
use the resources we have been given, and exercise our faith so that
it is steadfast, strong, and immovable.
Faith is power! I love it! Anything can happen. I mean, ANYTHING if
you have faith! It needs to be excersized and strengthened but truly,
I have seen miracles happen over and over and over as a result of faith.
I have learned while I've been on my mission that the key to happiness is humility and obedience.
I love this work! I love it!
It changes lives. It has changed mine.
