Rawata Na Noqu Vuku - 3 Jun 2018

Yadra Vinaka Weikaqu,

This past week I have been reading all the talks from General Conference, I wanted to share a couple of quote that stood out to me.

Saturday Morning. President M. Russell Ballard- " The power of the Sabbath day is to experience in church and at home the delight, the joy, and the warmth of feeling the Spirit of the Lord without any kind of distraction."

Elder Brian K. Taylor- "When you...see our Father, you will see a being with whom you have long been acquainted."(Brigham Young)

- "Something powerful happens when a child of God seeks to know more about Him and His Beloved Son." (President Russell M. Nelson)

-"the Lord God Almighty," who weeps with us in our sorrow, patiently chastens our unrighteousness, and rejoices when we seek to "give away all [our] sins to know [Him]."

This one is for my Mom. Elder Larry J. Echo Hawk- "remember that an essential element of forgiveness includes forgiving ourselves."

One of my favorites. Elder Lynn G. Robbins- "To become like Him will require countless second chances in our day-to-day struggles... how many failures will it take us until our nature is no longer human but divine?"

- "He inspires lightens burdens, strengthens, delivers, protects, heals, and otherwise "succor[s] his people," even as they STUMBLE along the strait and narrow path." (the strait and narrow path isn't easy just because its the right way)

- "our spiritual growth is usually imperceptible except through the rearview lens of time. It would be wise to regularly take an introspective look through that lens to recognize our progress and inspire us to "press forward with a steadfastness in Christ."

Elder Neil L. Anderson- "The surrender of our will to God's will is, in fact, not a surrender at all but the beginning of a glorious victory."

Just a little food for thought. I've found that reading the talks rather than re-listening to them helps me pull out information that normally I would've missed.

The work out here in Fiji is great. I have and amazing area and am having so much success with my companion Elder Zenas. There have been a lot of let downs this past week due to some people who rather rely on "YouTube Mormon debates" instead of the Spirit to tell them the truth.

I love my family and miss them a ton.

Hope Everyone has a great week,

Love,

Elder Richardson
