*Hi, I'm Karis, Lyssa's friend. She has asked me to post blog posts that she writes and sends to me while on her mission. Thank you for visiting!*
The Book of Mormon is inspiring. It contains the personal stories of prophets and their testimonies. These are imperfect men who were directed of God to lead His people. Two examples are Alma and Ammon. Alma the Younger wrote much of the book of Alma. As you read the book of Alma, you will notice that sometimes he goes off on a tangent, and then comes back to his story. Personally, I think he had ADD. Did this stop him from being an amazing missionary and prophet? No! He proceeded to work miracles through his Savior.
Ammon, son of Mosiah, was one of the greatest missionaries in the Book of Mormon. Alma 22:17 he might have had narcolepsy. Did this stop him from being an amazing missionary? No!
I know that as I work hard and rely on the Lord, I too can be an amazing missionary.
I love your insight. I will have to re-read Alma....I'm usually intent on the message and skim the details. We just had Perry add its 10th ward!. When we first moved here Perry was full of orchards. Now we have a Maverick just up the driveway. Pitiful. We have been in the 9th ward for several years. Sunday we were changed to the 8th ward....only 3 families went to the 8th ward. My daughter Julia is involved with a lesbian who definitely doesn't have our standards. I found coffee in the kitchen this morning. I am living a missionary life, because I have to, not because I chose to. Maybe I need to change my thinking. Thank you dearie for your post!
