First
off, as an Area (not just a mission) in South America we are starting
to read the Book of Mormon and our goal is to read it before the start
of the next General Conference. They sent us a schedule of what we need
to read everyday to be able to finish it and we started today! I´m
already loving it because all of the missionaries are studying the same
things and there are a lot of points of view to change from! As a
mission, we´re also reading Preach My Gospel together. Each day we are
given a topic to study. Now pretty much all of the missionaries have the
same personal study. I´m really excited because the spirituality of
each missionary is going to increase and definitely we´ll see success.
Something
has been on my mind these last few weeks that I´d like to share with
everyone today. We know from DyC 130:20-21 that every blessing is based
on the Laws of God. Laws that God himself lives and that cannot be
changed. I´ve been thinking alot about this topic because President
Cifuentes shared with us something that I will share with you today.
These laws and blessings (from obedience to the laws) are part of God´s
plan and for ALL of God´s children. These blessings are for every one of
His children whether they be members of the Church or whether they be
atheists. If someone lives a healthy and long life, it´s because they
show obedience to the laws that God has set. They have received those
kind of blessings. If someone becomes rich from successful business,
it´s because this person has been obediente to God´s laws of economy. If
that´s the case, what are the great blessings and promises from being a
Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints? Other
Churches have seen miracles of healings because they have showed their
obedience to that commandment of God. When they show faith in Christ as
non-members, and we show faith in Christ as members, we´ll receive the
same blessing-- because the blessing is based off of the law and it has
been that way since the beginning of times. The difference is, is that
as members of the Church, more of God´s laws are revealed to us through
modern day prophets. Without these prophets, we wouldn´t know God´s
laws. Therefore, we wouldn´t be able to live them and receive God´s
blessings. The rest of the world can´t receive the blessings from living
the laws that we learn in the temple- and the greatest of these, the
Sealing Law of God. Imagine the blessings that are promised to us and
the blessings that we receive just because of the knowledge and
obedience to the laws in the temple. That is why we are a blessed
people! Because we know about the power of sealings in God´s temple and
we show our obedience to receive these blessings. Yes it is worth it to
be a member of God´s Church because it is the Church of ETERNAL
FAMILIES! I love this gospel and I love the way God has made His plan so
that we can return to His presence with our families FOREVER!
I
hope you were able to follow my train of thoughts about the blessings
of the temple and the sealing power. haha. Please keep in your prayers
Omar and Mari Lu Menendez in your prayers. We are hoping that they get
married on November 11, 2015! Thanks for all the love and support and
prayers. I love you all!
Love, Elder Bosco II
