Mission to Paradise: October 26, 2015

Hello! :)

Another day in rainy paradise! During this time of year I feel like I live in a Rain forest. Thunder storms, lightning, downpour, all like clock work. Like when you are in the grocery store by the vegetables and they play the fake rain forest sounds and mist the veggies every 20 minutes? Like that. But without so many veggies. And no monkeys or snakes or huge bugs.

I really liked Alma 16:16-17 this week! It talks about how God was helping to prepare the hearts and minds of his children for when Christ would come so that they did not reject him. I think this was happening like 60 years before Christ's birth. I liked that a lot. God does not just dump big new commandments on us, or expect us to believe crazy miracles, or change our way of life over night. He works to prepare our minds and our hearts to accept His will, to accept Christ, and to obey his commandments. He works for years and years on softening hearts, teaching little by little, showing examples, changing life small ways at a time. He allows us to time to learn, accept, and change. How many bosses do you know who do that? Or school professors? God has perfect patience. He knows all and He knows what we need to make it back to Him. :) He is working with each one of you right now to prepare you for the second coming. To help you to open your minds and your hearts and to accept Christ as your Savior. Are you listening to his teachings? Are you allowing him to mold you into the person He knows you can become?

Have a happy Halloween!!! Be safe! I love you all!

Love,

Sister Markle. :)
