(Letter from February 23, 2013--One of our favorite experiences!!~K)
One of the days this week I was reading in the Book of Mormon in
third Nephi when Jesus visits the people and teaches the beatitudes and
such. As I read about how the Lord will provide for all of our needs as
long as we do our part and have faith I initially thought about
the people here and how, for many of them, if they don't work on Sunday
then they don't eat on Sunday.
As missionaries we are asking them to
keep all of Gods commandments including keeping the Sabbath Day holy. And for me I would sometimes hesitate within myself, because I know
these people's situation and I know what it means for them to not work on
Sunday and instead attend church.
But it is a promise of the Lord, and the Lord
knows that we need physical things as well as spiritual things, and if
we put our priorities in the right place and show our faith in the Lord he
will make sure that we are taken care of. He takes care of the birds and
clothes the lilies of the field in raiment that is more impressive
than Solomon's temple.
