Spring!

Tue, Apr 17, 1:25 PM Hey guys! so I finally saw Grass the other day! we drove 5 hours to halifax, and it was so warm. There was so much grass! it was 14 degrees Celsius. But, the following day we drove all the way back to our district leaders area, which is very similar to ours. It was about -10, and there was still snow in all of the yards taller than I am! so, here we are.... winter is still upon us up in Miramichi, New Brunswick. We had the opportunity to learn some stellar stuff about scripture study this week at a missionary conference! there are 3 main reasons people study the scriptures 1.To feel good/feel the spirit 2.To learn the doctrines taught by the church. 3. To receive revelation. 1 and 2 are ok reasons to read, but as these become our focus, we lose the end goal in mind. "Start with the end in mind" as President Russel M. Nelson always says. So our end goal when we study should be receiving revelation in our minds and in our hearts. God's desire is for us to receive eternal life, and the only way we can understand, appreciate, or fulfill this is by receiving revelation by means of the Holy Ghost. I challenge each of you to change your focus in reading the scriptures, and come with a desire to receive revelation/personal understanding in your studies this week. :)
