King Benjamin Rules!!

I had this email all ready and I tried to send it early yesterday, but this morning Mom told me she didn’t get it. I checked it and it turns out that it didn’t send and that it only saved about half of the email. So here I am re-writing it and hoping it sends this time. 

King Benjamin!

Me and my Companion Sister Amy study together nearly every day. We try to have some of the Book of Mormon in our studies simply because it brings the spirit like nothing else. We originally started where Come Follow Me is but we are a bit faster. We are in Mosiah and we have been reading about King Benjamin and his message to the Nephites. What stood out to me for some reason was the change of heart that occurred in the people. They were overcome with the spirit and it caused them to no longer have the desire to sin, but to ‘do good continually’. I can only hope that we also can be inspired in such a way to where the worldly things we are surrounded by will no longer be something that drags us down. Imagine not being even tempted by the things of this world anymore. I know that there are some things that are hard to let go of but just think of how much more free we will be. Free to care about the things that truly matter not just in this life, but forever! 

Temple Tuesday with the District!

This week we did an Endowment session in the Red Cliffs Temple! I do think I’m getting to know my way around that temple better, because I actually knew where to go! And something that stood out to me is the fact that in the Endowment, it says that as we make these covenants, we leave neutral ground forever, and that God will not abandon those who have made these covenants with Him! That’s a promise that is such a comfort to me. I’d encourage everyone who can to take a family name to get their endowment, and pay attention to all the promises we are given as we keep the laws of Obedience, Sacrifice, the Gospel, Chastity and Consecration. I can assure you that you will be able to hear these blessings and see them in your life, even if they seem small.

Words of Comfort in the Baptistry!

There’s a pattern that I keep seeing. Personal Revelation is more apparent and more Potent In the Temple. I love it so much. I was handing towels to the young women in the Baptistry and pondering my mission so far. I’ve pondered and prayed about my decision to come back home pretty fervently and got my answer, but that doesn’t mean that there’s no space for doubt. As I was thinking about this I got this distinct phrase in my head ‘Your Heavenly Father is so proud of you.’ It was said in the blessing that set me apart as a temple worker. This is a testament to me that God truly does send us comfort in time of need. 

So, I think this is shorter than it was originally but to be honest, I don’t remember everything I wrote yesterday. Which is unfortunate because I liked how it was before. Can’t change it now though so I guess I’ll see if I remember what else I was going to write next week. Bye for now!
