Bonjour!
What an truly amazing week! I know that I say that pretty much every week but it was especially true this week!
We had a very spiritually packed past couple of days. We had zone
conference yesterday. We were shown segments out of the General
Authority Training of April 2015, which was awe inspiring. The one topic
they picked was the Sabbath Day.
I have pages of notes, but
the one phrase that stood out to me was, "What Sign are you showing to
God by your Sabbath Day observation?"
In Exodus 31:13 it says, "seek thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.
And in Ezekiel 20:20 "And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the Lord your god. "
I truly gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for the Sabbath
day with the relation of the importance of the Sabbath and the things
that we choose to do and not do on the Sabbath which shows the the Lord
what this Holy day means to us.
I have truly felt a change
in sacrament meeting and a deepened appreciation for the important place
that Sunday has in our Spiritual Development.
Sunday was a
truly delightful day, we had one of our investigators come to church and
were present for our special third hour on the Temple in preparation for
the dedication in November!:) My love for the temple grew even more as
we explained to this investigator the temple and showed her different
pictures of what she called the "Chateaux" ( palace or castle). We later
had a very spirit led lesson with a member on the plan of salvation
later that night and she set a baptism date for October:)
