Elder Cree-L Kofford
"What is there that is so special about Abinadi? Perhaps it was his total obedience as he went, presumably alone, among those whom he must have known would take his life, to deliver the word of the Lord and to cry repentance to the people. Perhaps it is the very fact that we know so little about him, or perhaps it was simply the way with which he faced the adversities which came into his life in such a straightforward, 'square-to-the world' way. Whatever the reason, Abinadi was and is special. His life, lived so long ago, still has the power to excite the mind and cause the pulse to pound." (Heroes from the Book of Mormon, pp. 69-70)*
-The Lord has been warning us from the beginning of time to obey him and keep his commandments, then he promises us that He will bless us for doing so. We are told we will have trials in this life and that they are supposed to bring us closer to God but when do the blessings come? Between the hardship? Are they only but for a moment then life gets hard again?
-How are we to know we are on the right path? How are we to feel that comfort and peace we have been promised from the Holy Ghost if we are always going through hard times?
Blessing: I have amazing co-workers that make me feel like I am a good person despite hardships I go through.
