Matters of Faith in Affliction

 Matters of Faith 8.10.20

 

Twice a day Cameron, Jim, and I gather for family prayer and scriptures. We cherish the time together, and we are sure of one thing: It is not by chance that during this stressful time we are challenged to study the Book of Mormon. Every day we pray for guidance as we read and discuss the scriptures and liken them unto ourselves. We pray that we will find peace and understanding. Have you ever wondered, “Why all these war chapters?” I do not wonder any more! In every chapter of Alma we stop in amazement at the parallels to the world around us. We are on our second time through the Book of Mormon this year. We love the many videos and study guides. This time of isolation and upside-down chaos is calmed in our hearts and home as we are constantly reassured that God has saved these scriptures for “a wise purpose” in Him. We feel prepared for this crisis by all the studying we did as we learned at home through “Come, Follow Me” last year. We did not know what this year would be like, but Heavenly Father did!

 

We LOVE the people of Laredo! This picture is Eileen who was able to be baptized last week.  Faithfully she kept learning and growing and meeting with the missionaries despite the pandemic. Missionaries all over the world are finding ways to “bring the world His truth!”
