So....Ik denk niet dat ik veel meer te vertellen heb
eigenlijk....wow...sad day...! Gosh...I
literally don't have anything to tell you.
O.o I can share with you what I
learned during my studies today though! :D I really like this scripture:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my gospel;
and ye know the things that ye must do in my church; for the works
which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do; for that which ye have seen me
do even that shall ye do; 2 Nephi 27:21
This scripture teaches us that a Restoration was NEEDED, because a
Church that was exactly like the one that Christ had established when He was on
the Earth couldn't be found. And as this scripture says: We need to do things
the way Christ did them. There is really no excuse for changing doctrines
and ordinances :) I also read the first part of a talk by Elder Perry this
morning about the Book of Mormon and I really like this (it's actually a quote
from President Benson): “The Book of Mormon was written for us today. God
is the author of the book. It is a record of a fallen people, compiled by
inspired men for our blessing today. Those people never had the book—it was
meant for us.
But I really like this quote by Elder Perry himself: 'Among the
lessons we learn from the Book of Mormon are the cause and effect of war and
under what conditions it is justified. It tells of evils and dangers of secret
combinations, which are built up to get power and gain over the people. It
tells of the reality of Satan and gives an indication of some of the methods he
uses. It advises us on the proper use of wealth. It tells us of the plain and
precious truths of the gospel and the reality and divinity of Jesus Christ and His atoning
sacrifice for all mankind. It informs us of the gathering of the house of
Israel in the last days. It tells us of the purpose and principles of missionary work. It warns us against
pride, indifference, procrastination, the dangers of false traditions,
hypocrisy, and unchastity. Now it is up to us to study the Book of Mormon
and learn of its principles and apply them in our lives'.
I know the Book of Mormon teaches us so many valuable lessons, and who
would have thought it would even teach us about time management, and
finances and ALL the principles of missionary work?! :D It's sooooo cool!!!! :D
Oh, and I likes what our zone leaders said during Zone Meeting this Friday:
'Missions are an MTC for life.'
I Love Y'all sooo much and have a blessed day!!!
Lots and Lots of Love
