In fast meeting the father of a new baby girl that was blessed talked about some trial they had had in their family and he made the statement that sometimes even when you are trying to do good, like Nephi, the bow just breaks.
I like that statement. It reminds us that life is hard and lots of times it has nothing to do with our choices but Elder Nelson got up later in the meeting and reminded us With God All Things are Possible.
I sat with Kody's nine year old primary class again. That is a rambunctious age but they are all really good kids. His lesson was on prophets. In looking at his lesson he realized it was very short and was looking for something else to fill the time. I suggested the movie we had about President Monson called, On the Lord's Errand. He showed parts of it to the class after his lesson and they were very attentive. I had seen the video before but the last part of the video really spoke to me this time. President Monson said something to the fact that there is no better feeling than having a prompting and acting on it. He said it was something he had tried to do his whole life because he wanted the Lord to know if he had an errand to run Thomas Monson would do it.
D&C 64:29
29 Wherefore, as ye are agents, ye are on the Lord's errand; and whatever ye do according to the will of the Lord is the Lord's business.Our lesson in Relief Society was on anchoring. Sister Bennett gave a wonderful lesson. She started by talking about the process of anchoring a houseboat. It was the perfect analogy. We discussed different trials we might face and then made a list of things that help us build our testimony or be anchored.
