So this week I had a good personal
study. I was reading in Galatians 6:7-9 and Paul was talking about reaping what
we sow. And I read a quote that says "It is dedicated calculated obedience given
over time, over years and years, throughout a life, that shows the true measure
of a man." Very interesting to me. If I am obedient now on my mission then I am
sowing good seeds for after my mission and sowing good habits and becoming the
man I want to be. If I am obedient now (willingly I might add) then it will be
way easier to be obedient after the mission. I have noticed seeds that were
sowed way back when I was like 12 and 13 about doing my duty even though I may
not want to or it is hard. A lot of missionaries will flake out just because it
is hard to put on church clothes during p-day and little things like that, but I
had good priesthood leaders growing up and a dad for a bishop forever it is
pretty easy for me just to follow those little rules and do the things I need to
do. Also sowing and reaping have a lot to do with the mission. Sowing seeds by
contacting people and tracting and teaching. Reaping is the hard part. everyone
takes different times to grow, I prolly will have no idea of the reaping going
on in my area in about a year so I will try to talk to as many people as I can
right now and teach too. Paul has good insights for me about 2000 years after he
lived. Scriptures are cool, how they apply to us when they were written
anciently. Well thats about it for this week.
