Papa and I get the opportunity to speak in Sacrament Meeting today! We've been in the ward 4 years now, and had manage successfully to fly under the radar until now!?!? We really do have an exceptional ward and love it soooo much! I hope that we can be inspired to give messages that will touch their hearts and feel the spirit.
Papa's topic is "Faith to Move Mountains." He will share his experience of faith in the mission field, when he and his companions experience and survived a mighty hurricane in Samoa. They were in a condemed house, but unable to leave due to a missionary who was ill at the time. Destruction was all around them, but they were protected.
He will close with a quote from Pres. Gordon B. Hinkley, "Increase our faith to bridge chasms of uncertainty and doubt...Grant us faith to look beyond the problems of the moment to the miracles of the future...Give us faith to do what is right and let the consequences follow." His talk is awesome as usual!
My topic is "Seeking the Kingdom of God." I will share a Glen Rawson story about 'Walking on the edge' and a quote from Elder Neal A Maxwell, "If we do not choose the Kingdom of God first, it will make little difference in the long run what we have chosen."
I will close my talk with Mosiah 2:41 "And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it."
Hope it went well.
