Here is a list of things I have learned:

--> Perfectionism is Pride

--> The Inconvenient Messiah

--> Don't use obedience/righteousness as a weapon

--> Fear no man 

--> The Savior never forces, He invites

--> The Gospel is not annoying 

--> Live with Precision

--> To not use the Book of Mormon is to do them a disservice 

--> Imagine yourself kneeling at the throne of God

--> Reduce me to Love

--> Meekness=learning from people that seem less capable than yourself

And many more !

If you would like the 闡明 (clarification) message me!

2 Nephi 8

7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart I have written my law, fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

New insight on the resurrection!

"Nothing that you have not given away will really be yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead"

-C.S Lewis (Mere Christianity)

This is why "He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it" (Matthew 10:39)

It is miraculous that we get to be raised from the dead! But its also interesting that we must die first.

What in your life has yet to die? What are you still holding back from God?

No half measures will do!

The is the church of change!!! I have seen it in myself and countless of people here on my mission. Lets pay the price.

再見!

Atonement insight:

13 Now the Spirit knoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the flesh that he might take upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.

Alma 7:13

I think President and Sister Whiteley pointed this out to me: why does it say 'nevertheless'?

The spirit knoweth all things. The spirit knows our sins, our pain, our sorrow, infirmity, weakness etc. 

Nevertheless, that knowledge is not enough.

Christ had to literally experience these things in order for the Atonement to be complete. 

I feel so much gratitude for the sacrifice that Christ made for me, and everyone that has ever lived, and will live on the earth.

"When the unimaginable burden began to weigh upon Christ, it confirmed His long-held and intellectually clear understanding as to what He must now do...Later, in Gethsemane, the suffering Jesus began to be “sore amazed” (Mark 14:33), or, in the Greek, “awestruck” and “astonished.”

Imagine, Jehovah, the Creator of this and other worlds, “astonished”! Jesus knew cognitively what He must do, but not experientially. He had never personally known the exquisite and exacting process of an atonement before. Thus, when the agony came in its fulness, it was so much, much worse than even He with his unique intellect had ever imagined...

Even so, Jesus maintained this sublime submissiveness, as He had in Gethsemane: “Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” (Matt. 26:39.)" 

Neil L. Maxwell (Willing to Submit)

I am simply awestruck at the character of Christ. May we ever live in solemn respect of Him.

Because of Him, 

Death is not the end.

I can be whole.

I can be clean.

I can work hard.

I can pay the price.

I can live with my family forever.

Happy Easter :)

再見!!
