Hello From AZ!
Mom you asked if every job in the world
paid the same salary what would I like to pursue? To answer your
question I would be a traffic supervisor from a lawn chair outside my
home. Or an air sampler....
Happy Birthday Grandpa and Maria! I
hope this years is a good one, hope all of your crazy fun dreams come
true! I sent you both a virtual hug, hopefully it arrives soon.
So my companion and I have been trying
this new way of studying from the scriptures for the past couple days
and I have to say its pretty cool. It doesn't matter what approach
you take to the scriptures whether it be through the index, certain
topic, certain verses or such. What does matter is how you view the
scriptures. What is said in the scriptures is no longer that
important. Still important but don't pay so much attention to the
actual words on the page. The scriptures are instead a key. What does
a key do? Open things. The scriptures are a key to opening up the
windows of heaven to learn more about Gods mysteries. How to do it?
Start with a prayer asking a specific question or just something you
are looking for. For my companion the first time he just asked God “I
am acting in faith here with this new way of studying and I pray
that I can learn your mysteries. Simple. Then open the scriptures of
talks on scripture, what ever your cup of tea is that day, and write.
Write all the thoughts that come to your mind. Read a scripture and
then write all that comes to your mind until you can't think of
anything anymore and continue reading again. It is pretty amazing. It
feels as though God is speaking straight to you and in some cases it
feels as though He is in the room with you. So I challenge you to try
it out and if you have an experience then let me know!
Other than that my companion and I
haven't done a whole lot and it sounds weird to say that because I
thought I did a lot. I will try and have a great story for next weeks
email.
Love y'all
Love Elder Leonahrdt
