Revelation

Let's see our investigators...well. They are progressing pretty well. We have a lot of work to do to help them have desire and receive answers to their prayers.

It is probably one of the most challenging things helping someone recognize the spirit...if they have never felt it before or didn't know that they have felt it before. I am so grateful for our leaders...take a look at Elder Bednar's talk about receiving person revelation.

Personal revelation really is one of the greatest things that we can work on. It is how we know truth and that I think is the most important thing. Because then we have a frame work to work from.

I think everyday I am more aware of how much we need to know about God and our relationship with Him. And also keep on developing that relationship.

It still puzzles me how people can live without it. Because it really is what grounds us and gives us HOPE.

Oh and we have some former investigators that we hope to begin teaching again. They haven't investigated the church for a few years. So I am amazed at the timing of things. I think it is such a testimony that they really are in God's hands. He is watching over them and waiting for them to accept the gospel and arranging so they can...if they choose. But He never will give up on them. This is something that I need to learn. Never give up on them.

I love you all!
