Hello Friends and Family!
Well, Spring is finally here in
Warsaw! About 70 degrees today with sunshine and a high chance of SAND
VOLLEYBALL!!! Oh yeah. It's going down. :) Best ever! I'll be able to put some
Holmes Family Reunion skills to the test. :) The Elders won't know what hit
them. ;) Haha just kidding! It'll be fun. :)
Not much to report this week other than the great trainings we had this
week on finding the needs and concerns of new people and helping them with a
message centered on that need. And also on Potatoes. What do sheep eat?
Potatoes. What kind of potatoes? This topic came from an Ensign article about a
teacher and the potato a little girl brought to her. She took it as a way to be
reminded to share something with those who need her no mater what it is and no
matter the time. Instead of waiting for a lavish meal to give or a flower. Just
something that is needed of her when someone is in need. I liked it.

Ether 12
As he concludes the Book of Mormon, Moroni's message to us is one, have faith in the Lord, that is trust in Him, second, enjoy and live by hope, which is a "revealed confidence" that blessings will come! When we have faith and hope in our souls charity, the pure love of Christ, is bestowed upon us, preparing us for eternal happiness.
The prophet Ether exhorts the people to believe in God...
"Exhorting the people to believe in God unto repentance...saying unto them that by Faith all things are fulfilled." (Verse 3)
"Wherefore whoso believeth in God might with surety Hope for a better world......which Hope cometh of Faith" (Verse 4)
Moroni recounts the wonders and marvels done by Faith...
"Faith is things which are hoped for and not seen...for ye have no witness until after the trial of your Faith" (Verse 6)
" For if there be no Faith among the children of men God can do no miracle among them...he showed not himself until after their Faith" (Verse 12)
"And there were many whose Faith was so exceedingly strong, even before Christ came..." (Verse 19)
The Lord gives men weaknesses that they may be humble....
"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weaknesses...I give unto men their weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me...and have Faith in Me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them" (Verse 27)
"I will show unto them that, Faith, Hope, and Charity bringeth unto me...the fountain of all righteousness" (Verse 28)
Faith, Hope, and Charity are essential to salvation....
"And I also remember that thou hast prepared a house for man, yea, even among the mansions of thy Father, in which man might have a more excellent Hope; wherefore man must Hope, or he cannot receive an inheritance in the place which thou hast prepared" (Verse 32)
"And now I know that this love which thou hast had for the children of men is Charity...except men shall have Charity, they cannot inherit that place which thou hast prepared in the mansions of thy Father" (Verse 34)
Moroni saw Jesus...
"And then shall ye know that I have seen Jesus, and that he hath talked with me face to face, and that he told me in plain humility...concerning these things....and only a few have I written because of my weakness in writing"
(Verse 39,40)
"And now, I would commend you to seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written..." (Verse 41)
Everyone we teach needs to understand the doctrine taught in Ether 12!
