In Helaman 15:3 it talks about the Lord chastened those he loved. I was thinking about how odd that is that you give trials and troubles to those you love. But as I kept thinking inrealized that boys act similarly. If they like you they are often mean to you, tease you make us stronger. It says "he chastened them because he loveth them."

"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...

-What are we (am I) doing to prepare to meet God? To stand at His judgment bar and be prepared to see Him again? We are asked "have patience and bear with those afflictions, with a hope that ye shall one day rest from all your afflictions." (Alma 34:41) So we are asked to have patience and hope. These two things can be hard to have especially because we can't see the end, we never know what is going to happen, what we are going to go through or what we are preparing for. Sometimes I think of this life as studying or preparing for a big test but we don't really know fully how to prepare for it. We just study all the material we can or want to and try to follow it to be like Christ. But it is hard to try to be like someone we don't know. So if we don't study the scriptures and study His life then we won't be able to be like him. Blessing- I was able to get home safe last night!

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...
