Theres a lot of ups and downs on a mission. Its like a roller coaster ride. There is a lot of excitement but also a lot of disappointments. When people are improving and quitting bad habbits it is so exciting and amazing. Then when people dont make commitments like they say they will and dont come to church. It can get sad! But we dont give up on them and they will next time!
Yesterday at church we talked a lot about sacrifice. And how this is a gospel of sacrifice. It always has been, since the time of Adam down to Jesus Christ, even Joseph Smith to us! They may have made sacrifices differently back then but it is all the same. We are required to give broken heart and a contrite spirit. This is not a church where we can just walk in on sunday, sit down and zone out for an hour our two, and then go home back to whatever it is we are doing. It is the TRUE church. It requires faith. And faith requires works. We are required to be willing and ready at any moment to sacrifice anything for the Lord. We are in the beginning of the last dispensation. The Saviors coming is closer and closer every day. Are you ready? Are we all acting on our faith, not just believing that God exists but going to church and engaging in His work? I know that if we do we will be blessed immensly and we will see His love in our lives more than we could ever imagine.
Have a good week everyone!
-Elder Nelson
