27 May 2012 – Thanks for Sacrament…

In case anyone would like to look at Elder Pier’s mormon.org profile….http://mormon.org/me/90HB/

The morning seems to speed by as I read and pondered the Sunday School lesson for the day. It was Mosiah 25-28 where the diverse people become one and rejoice together but within the rising generation there is adversity. Then there is the story of Alma the younger and the sons of Mosiah. I wonder how many LDS parents reading this wish that the Lord would send an angel to bring their wayward sons or daughters back to the fold. But if you look past that to the fact that it shows that the Lord does answer prayer and that when we repent we are forgiven.

The Clintons, a young couple in the ward, spoke in Sacrament. I was especially touched by sister Clinton who’s talk on the Holy Ghost was not at all polished but came from the heart. I wrote down a number of things she mentioned  but I will share only one…”One of the ways I have found to invite the Holy Ghost into my life is to listen to music. I do not judge music by how it sounds but how it feels.” I thought that was an interesting thought.

Elder Clinton served in Malaysia and I asked him if he knew Elder Ng who served with us in Indonesia. He said he did and that I had asked him that 6 months ago when we first came into Plantation ward…darn I hate those senior moments.

Priesthood was very good as we discussed Bishop Edgly’s talk on re-activation. It got a little off track and got more involved in why people are less active instead of our duty to help them back into activity but it was still a good lesson. I did not volunteer that I was at one time inactive so I had a personal knowledge of how important it is to seek out the lost sheep.

Brother Rampton was called to the High Council and brother Shane was called as 1st counselor in the bishopric. Hopefully this call will last longer than the one he had to the Weston ward bishopric! I think that one last 3 weeks or so before they dissolved the ward.
