It’s Just A Flesh Wound

Greetings,

 

It’s been another great week here in Independence.  We had transfers last week and I stayed in the same area.  I also got to visit the emergency room here.  To start off, I’m just fine.  I was performing some service and caught my finger on a sharp edge of a TV.  My finger started bleeding pretty good and I started feeling not so good. I walked out to the parking lot of the apartment complex and there just so happened to be a police officer just sitting there.   He saw me and came over to help.  He also called the fire department that was close by so that was crazy. I went to the emergency room where they got me all taken care of.  No stiches, but they glued it and I had to keep this sweet wrap on for a couple of days.  So I will now have an epic permanent souvenir of my mission and I can show everyone that they are number 1 (#1!).

 

I’ve been thinking a lot about faith.  I like to compare it to conducting a science experiment. How do you know if you have faith or want to have more faith? Conduct research.  Scientists conduct research using trial and error.  Faith is the same in a way.  We can conduct a spiritual experiment to grow our faith.  We can have faith and in the Lord’s timing we can experience miracles and can learn and grow.  A witness can come after the trial of our faith. In Ether 12:6 it says, “ And now, I Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.”  If you are struggling, start with even a particle of faith and have a desire to believe.  

 

Have a great week!
