Endurance

ZONE CONFERENCE! 

at the City Branch Building. 

Alma 38:2  This is Alma talking to his son...

"And now, my son, I trust that I shall have great joy in you, because of your steadiness and your faithfulness unto God.; for as you have commenced in your youth to look to the Lord your God, even so I hope that you will continue in keeping his commandments; for blessed is he that endureth to the end."      

Did you know that Endurance is a Christ-like Attribute? 

It is! Our newsletter from President and Sister Cutler talked all about it.

I thought that was the coolest thing. Eye-opening! 

That endure to the end stuff can sound kind of tiring sometimes... haha

But as we do the simple things consistently... it won't be!

There's a promise that was emphasized in a Zone Conference:

If you read 10 min. in the Book of Mormon everyday... you will never fall away! 

Because- why would you?

You are powering your Liahona! (The Spirit) 

The times when you don't feel like doing it are usually the times when you need

it the most! ...as with anything!! 

We had a great lesson with Bob this week about the Liahona. 

He went through a lot of opposition before his baptism, but he said it was so worth it because of the spiritual strength he received during his knee surgery. 

He said he could feel the spirit comforting him and giving him hope!

Unlike anything he had experienced before. 

It was incredible to hear him say that…  The man who I met my first day out in the mission field, who had given up on everything... was now one of the happiest human beings! Brother Bob- a clean shaved, white shirt wearing, changed man!

Also: Jackie also has a Baptismal Date now! 

She is a 17 year old who has a sister who joined the church and attended BYU with only 6 months of being a member. (talk about culture shock! haha)

Her sister had the best time in Provo and because of this Jackie came to our ward pancake breakfast and said she wanted to learn more about what her sister believed! 

At breakfast they asked her to say the closing prayer. 

She said "Dear Heavenly Father... I know it has been awhile- thank you for coming back into my life and for loving me." The spirit was so strong that everyone was crying as the spirit penetrated our hearts.

She has now switched her work schedule so she can come to church every Sunday! 

Steadfast & Immovable in Christ!

Love, 

Sister Osmond

Press forward with a perfect brightness of hope!  2 Nephi 31:20
