Email to Family and Friends
This week was amazing!! We had a fantastic lesson just yesterday with one of our favorite friends! It was all on the Plan of Happiness, the Spirit flooded the room as we also had two sisters from the ward with us. As we would teach the plain and precious truths of the gospel reveled through modern prophets, she would sit listen and you could see the wheels turning in her mind, then she would say, "That just makes sense!" I am so thankful for the Spirit of God!
We had a great week of service as there has been a LOT of snow. But service bring so much joy to the heart of man. It is the essence of godliness.
"The Power of the Redeemer"
Nephi the son of Helaman once told his two boys "O remember, remember, my sons, the words which king Benjamin spake unto his people; yea, remember that there is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved, only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who shall come; yea, remember that he cometh to redeem the world."
"And remember also the words which Amulek spake unto Zeezrom, in the city of Ammonihah; for he said unto him that the Lord surely should come to redeem his people, but that he should not come to redeem them in their sins, but to redeem them from their sins."
"And he hath power given unto him from the Father to redeem them from their sins because of repentance; therefore he hath sent his angels to declare the tidings of the conditions of repentance, which bringeth unto the power of the Redeemer, unto the salvation of their souls." (1)
I love how simply the prophets teach! They are so powerful! Repentance brings the power of Christ into our lives! We all need Christ the Son and the influence of God the Father in every waking moment in our lives. I pray that each of us as family and as friends can turn to Christ and be reconciled to God. It is as simple as repent. It is a message of love and it is the only way to peace. If you are not repenting I assure you, that you are now or will shortly find your self miserable. This is the good news of Christ, that we can repent an be changed into men and women of peace and love. This is the life for us to perform this labor. And it is possible! The Savior wants to forgive! I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
