The Test of Time

Another day has come and gone without a mission call. Could it be tomorrow?
I certainly hope so, for my sanity's sake. :0)

So I had one of those cliched experiences that you hear about and feel your eyes glaze over. I opened up to the Book of Mormon to study my scriptures yesterday and just started to read. The most wonderful words were on that page- my mission motto:

I glory in plainness;
I glory in truth;
I glory in my Jesus,
for he hath redeemed my soul from hell.

I have charity for my people
and great faith in Christ
that I shall meet many souls
spotless at his judgement seat.

I just felt my mind go into focus.
I read these words and have an acute sense of what is important while I am doing the labor of the Lord. I am reminded that the gospel is simple, that it is true, and that it is centered in Christ. I can be forgiven of my sins, and so can my companions, the members whom I serve with, and the people that I teach. We can be made whole through the Atonement and become better, more Christ-like people.

Therefore, what manner of men ought ye to be?
Verily I say unto you, even as I am.
