It was definitely a busy week as we did in fact have the baptism. It was a very special experience! My companion and I both had to get into the font with him because of the frailness of his body. It allowed me to ponder all the things that the Lord did for those who would have too much trouble by themselves. In Corinthians 10:13 it talks about God and he will not tempt us above what we are able. I thought that this was so interesting as the Lord knows exactly how much we each can take and will not suffer us to experience such Deathly Trauma. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON! to help better ourselves and bring us even closer to our Heavenly Father! I had so much time to ponder this, this past weekend. And as I studied to I found that Dieter F. Uctdorf Talks about these trials. In his last talk titled "You Matter to Him." he explains that above all else The Lord knows every one of us. He loves us so much, that he created the world for Man's Benefit. And when we are compared to God, we are nothing, but to Him, the worth of EVERY soul is everything! We are not invisible to our Heavenly Father and We matter to him! His Grace is sufficient for all of us! how great is that? Grace is not about Doing our best and The Lord Will do the rest. No, It is not about him Filling the Gaps! It is about filling us. It is meant to Transform us! To change us! The scriptures say that No unclean thing can enter Heaven. But no unchanged thing will want to. Don't you think?
