Live.....

The Lord expects us to be as faithful, as devoted, as couageous as those who went before us. They were called to GIVE their lives for the gospel. We are called to LIVE our lives for the same purpose. In these last days we have a special reason to do so. Before that sacred night in Bethlehem, the events of history and the words of the prophets of all dispensations prepared the way for the first coming of the Lord and His Atonement. Similary, history and prophecy laid the groundwork for the restoration of the gospel through the Prophet Joseph Smith. Do we have eyes to see that the events and prophecies of our time are preparing us for the Savior's second coming? (from General Conference talk given by Elder Robert D Hales. What does that mean for me? What changes do I need to make to my life in order to live the way he wants me to? and to help fulfill his purposes?

Our RS lesson today was about the gathering of Israel. I thought about you a lot. You should read it. It's Chapter 43 I think.
