so u got taught i really valueble experience on sunday. ill just share it.
i was writing it down as it happened. i was sitting in sacrement meeting today in the foxglen ward. we were sitting beside the maughn family, and i couldn't help but notice there little boy. i didn't know what was wrong with him, but he had a pipe running out of his neck and couldn't support himself. He also had something that went around his chest to help him sit up. about every five minutes they had to use a suction pump to get the saliva out of his mouth. I couldn't stop thinking why? why would god do this to him and his little family? I came to the conclusion that there son was one of the elect or more faithful souls in heaven. Heavenly father is putting this little boy through all of this because he knows he can take it. I kept seeing the love his family had for him. you could just see the dad had for him in his eyes. the way he would hold him and craddle him so carefully as he read him a book. He can't talk but he knows sign launguage. the thought came to mind was i faithful in heaven? the lord knew what I could go through. the scripture in D:C 121+122 came to mind. verse seven "my son peace be unto thy soul thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment." in section 122:8 "the son of man hath descended below them all." jesus knew exactly what that little boy went through I want to be someone the lord can rely on, as one of his faithful servants throughout my life. i learned that trials are for us to grow and learn. I went up and shared what i saw in the foxglen ward in a different sacrement meeting. i cried thhrough most of it. i kept thinking of my family back home and the love they have for me. when i sat back down one of our investigators Logan (9) asked why are you crying? whats wrong? I said "buddy sometimes the holy ghost makes you cry when your talking about something really special to you. what i got taught from all this was count your blessings, and next time your going through a trial remember the lord already went through that and knows how you feel. so quit complaining.
but this upcoming week logan (9) is getting baptized!!!!!! the week before we had a baptisim but i forgot to tell you about it :) her name was lily mitchill ill send a picture of them next week
