Hey everyone!
Well, things are
happening. The latest news is that one of my companions and I have been asked
to help lead the service project that we'll be doing MTC-wide tomorrow. We'll
be assembling over 350,000 meals, and I'm super excited! Hurray for service!
I just want to share
with you something I came across in personal study the other day:
Ether 12:41 "And
now, I would commend you to seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles
have written, that the grace of God the Father, and also the Lord Jesus Christ,
and the Holy Ghost, which beareth record of them, may be and abide in you
forever. Amen."
There are several things
that I love about this verse. First, I looked up the definition of grace in
a 1828 dictionary, and here's what it came up with: "free, unmerited love
and favor of God, the spring and source of all the benefits men receive of him;
divine influence or the influence of the spirit in renewing the heart and
refraining from sin". We also understand grace to be the enabling power of
the Atonement (see pretty much every Bednar talk on the subject; but actually,
do, because they're amazing). The other thing with grace is that the speaker
wants it to be in us and abide in us forever. The word "abide" seems
like grace will be with us, but the interesting idea of grace
being in us... As we strive to be more like Christ, He will
give us strength to be His hands. I'm very grateful that's a thing, because we
at the MTC for sure wouldn't be able to do His work without His help.
Love you all!
