As part of an effort to help the ward be more united we are going to have a
scripture study group once a week. We expect about two people to show up this
week. Oh well.
Have I talked about how I feel about the Gospel of Christ yet? I can't
remember. My favorite lesson to teach is the Gospel of Christ. I'm sure it
just because I understand it more than the others. Before my mission it seemed
like my answer to every question was faith. As a missionary my favorite subject
became repentance. And recently I have been seeing how much happier people are
when they keep their covenants and have the Spirit in their lives.
Every part
these first principles of Christ's gospel is a great blessing all on it's own
but when you put it all together you get the remission of sins and spiritual
healing. If we have faith to trust God and are willing to act to become better
and progress we receive help and support from God. We let our covenants guide
our priorities and we can know what is most important in life. The Spirit
guides us and protects us from danger. Through the Atonement of Christ our
guilt and our weaknesses are taken away. As we see the power of these gifts at
work in our lives our testimony of these things becomes stronger and we can know
that God does forgive us of our mistakes. I'm incredibly thankful to have
access to such great gifts. Its important now that we share them.
I might have a bit more to write but that's all I can think of right now.
It was a fairly slow week.
Love you,
Elder Stapley
