Good afternoon everyone! It's a good day! I got to play the piano while three wonderful missionaries sang. It was so great! Very uplifting! I love sacred music.
I have always been an obedient soul but this week I am beginning to learn why it is so important to follow the commandments of God. Just as I said last week, you can be free as you keep the commandments. This week I also learned, one gains a witness of the truthfulness of something as the try the word. (John 7:17) One example I have seen in my own life is following God's law of health (Doctrine and Covenants 89, the Word of Wisdom) As I have lived that I have been blessed with health and knowledge. Another example is following the command to keep the Sabbath day holy. As I have gone to church and strived to serve others on this day I have been rejuvenated and lifted. I have felt God's love for me and witnessed Him.
Obedience takes faith. You have to believe that the promised blessings will actually happen.
I just want to bear my testimony that obedience is central to everything you do. The good and the bad in this life hinges on weather we are obedient or not. We can build trust with God as we are obedient to Him. So take courage and follow Him. He followed the Father's will so we can follow His through the Spirit.
Joel and Sabrina were able to come to a baptism! That was special. Lots of lessons canceled but it's okay! God had a different plan for us.
Love you all! Elder Spencer
