We had a regional conference and it cut out towards the end of Elder Perry's talk and I was playing with Maylee, Rhev, and Trayvn. But the one thing I wrote down that I truly remember him saying was, "True character is what you give to yourself." I need to work on being a better person.
Blessing: My wonderful family

"by small and simple things are great things brought to pass;"  (Alma 37:6) -To me thinking about this it makes me realize that my small acts, the little things that I do aren't that little and don't go unnoticed by God like they might by man. "the Prophet Joseph Smith wrote while a prisoner in the Liberty Jail in March 1839. 'Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power;. .' (D&C 123:16-17.) -God has His own purposes for things to happen and the more we listen to Him and are willing to Learn from Him the more wise we can and will become. Why not learn from the all Mighty One and gain all the knowledge we can from Him instead of from man who is just trying to figure things our like you are. -Our Heavenly Father has commandments that He wants us to follow and to obey. If we don't follow them then He will make sure the punishments of heaven fall on us not because he doesn't not love us but beca...

Henry B. Eyring "Now, I testify it is a small voice. It whispers not shouts. And so you must be very quiet inside. That is why you may wisely fast when you want to listen. And that is why you will listen best when you feel, 'Father, thy will, not mine, be done.' You will have a feeling of 'I want what you want.' Then, the still small voice will seem as if it pierces you. It may make your bones to quake. More often it will make your heart burn within which will lift and reassure." (Ensign, May 1991, p. 67 as taken from Latter-day Commentary on the Book of Mormon compiled by K. Douglas Bassett, p. 409-10) -This is so necessary for each of us but also so very hard so tell God "Thy will be done." Essentially God's will happens anyways but if we accept it and go with what He has for us and wants for us then our lives will be so much easier and better off. -The Savior appears to the people in the Americas and they are able to see Him and hear His ...

Te gathering of Isreal is happening right now as we do missionary work. 2 Nephi 5:26 talks about it and says, "then shall they be gathered in from the four quarters of the earth unto their own lands," . It makes me wonder if everyone who has come to the United States will have to go back to their homeland? When will this take place, all at once or a little at a time? -It's interesting reading about Satan and the influence that he has on God's children because he always uses his same tactics with every generation. He doesn't change anything he does, he uses worldly treasures or riches and pride most of the time to pull God's children away from the path. As soon as people get these things they stop doing what has been asked of them; reading our scriptures, praying, going to church, paying our tithing serving others around us... You would think that we could figure this out after thousands of years of the same stuff, but he still gets us. -What can we change...
