"on my mission .. "

yes.
I AM THAT ONE.
i will not apologize for it.
i love it.
[thank you mama hood for being that person too.]

so ..
in sunday school this past sabbath day i went to marriage and family.
jon wing was teaching.
you are the best jon.

we were talking about getting into habits now to help teach our children later.
we focused on prayer, the Holy Ghost, scripture study.

i must have raised my hand 4 or 5 times with comments.
each time i started with "on my mission .. " 
[i know. i know what you are all thinking. just stop.]


jon brought up COMPANIONSHIP STUDY.

oh how i MISS it.
seriously.

i loved having a whole hour to study with someone else.
to talk about the scriptures.
how to teach the principles of the Savior.

what a blessing.
i learned SO much from all of them.
thank you .. 
mama hood, black, johnson, johnson, behrends, earl, pluim, johnson.

back to jon.

he challenged us this week to have our studies and to post our thoughts on a fb group he created.
i love the idea.
it makes me really think about what i am reading.
what i am taking away from it.
and also how someone else can help me expand my knowledge on it.
or how i can help them.

i just really miss EVERYTHING about my mission.

i failed yesterday jon.
sorry.

this is what i read today.

3 Nephi 27:12
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my gospel; and ye know the things that ye must do in my church; for the works which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do; for that which ye have seen me do even that shall ye do;"

it helped me remember that the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is perfect.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is perfect.
we the people are imperfect.

we must do as the Savior says. 
Follow Him.
we must be latter-day saints.
followers of Jesus Christ in the last days.

i love learning.
i love the scriptures.

i love the old & new testament.
i love the book of mormon.

together they bring the FULL word of God to us.

i am SO grateful for the direction & guidance the scriptures have & continue to give me.
