Kim,
Proud of you for toughing it out. You're an example to everyone.
Thanks for being awesome and always putting others before yourself. I
hope I don't make your burden too hard to bear. I am thankful to be a
part of the family and for the gospel. I am thankful for the chance to
serve people in a way that I wasn't ever able to do before. I hope I
am able to make lots of good changes and be a good part of society. I
am excited to meet the new members of the family. I am excited this
coming week because we have stake conference and I get to see people
from camden and Atlantic city. I am excited to see what this Christmas
season brings. Don't forget to #sharethegift
Love

Jesse had to speak in Sacrament meeting. His talk used only scriptures.
He sent me the draft.
2 Corinthians 13:13 all the saints salute you Jacob 2:2
now...according to the responsibility which I am under to God... I am
come up that I might declare unto you the word of God. 2 nephi 31:10
and now my beloved brethren and also Jew and all he ends of the Earth
hearten unto these words and believe in Christ. And if ye believe not
in these words believe in Christ and if ye shall believe in Christ ye
will believe in these words for they are the words of Christ and He
hath given them into me and they teach all men that they should do
good.
Genesis 1:1 in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Mosiah 4:9 believe in God that he is and that he created all things
both in Heaven and earth believe that he has all wisdom and all power
both in heaven and earth. Believe that man doth not comprehend all the
things which the Lord can comprehend. Isaiah 55:8-9 for my thoughts
are not your thoughts neither are my ways your ways saith the Lord.
For as the Heavens are higher than the earth. So are my ways higher
than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Alma 12:22. Now we see that Adam did fall by the partaking of the
forbidden fruit according to the word of God and thus we see that by
his fall all mankind became a lost and fallen people. Moses 6:50-51
God hath made known unto our fathers that all men must repent. And he
also said unto him if thou wilt turn unto me and hearten unto my voice
and believe and repent of all thy transgressions and be baptized even
in water in the name of mine Only Begotten Son who is full of grace
and truth... Ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Mosiah 5:12
he sent among them desiring to know of his people if they had believed
the words which he had spoken unto them. And they all cried with one
voice saying yea we believe all the words which thou hast spoken unto
us and also we know of their surety and truth because of the Spirit of
the Lord Omnipotent which has wrought a mighty change in us or in our
hearts that we have no more disposition to do evil but to do good
continually Alma 5:26 and now behold I say unto you my brethren if ye
have experienced a change of heart and if ye have felt to sing the
song of redeeming love I would ask can ye feel so now? Mosiah 2:41 I
would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of
those that keep the commandments of God for behold they are blessed in
all things both temporal and spiritual and if they hold out faithful
to the end they are received into heaven that thereby they may dwell
with God in a state of never ending happiness. O remember that these
things are true for the Lord God hath spoken it. John 1:30 this
Helaman 5:41 was taught unto you by Alma. Alma 36: 18-21 I cried
within my heart o Jesus thou Son of God have mercy on me who am in the
Gall of Bitterness and am encircled about by the everlasting chains of
death. And now behold when I thought this I could remember my pains no
more. Yea I was harrowed up by the memory of my sins no more. And oh
what joy and what marvelous light did I behold yea my soul was filled
with joy as exceeding as was my pain. Yea I say unto you ... That
there could be nothing so exquisite and bitter as were my pains yea
and again I say unto you... That on the other hand that there can be
nothing so exquisite and sweet as was my joy. D&c 58:42-43 behold he
who has repented of his sins the same is forgiven and I the Lord
remember them no more. By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his
sins, behold he will confess them and forsake them. Enos 1:7-8 Lord
how is it done? And He said unto me because of thy faith in Christ
whom thou hast never before heard not seen and many years shall pass
away before he shall manifest himself in the flesh wherefore thy faith
hath made thee whole. D&C 19:16-17 for behold I the Lord have suffered
these things for all that they might not suffer if they would repent.
But if they would not repent they must suffer even as I. 1Peter 3:18
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins the just for the unjust.
Mosiah 2:24-25 and ye are still indebted to him and are and will be
forever and ever; therefore of what have ye to boast? And now I ask
can ye say ought of yourselves? I answer you nay ye cannot say that ye
are even as much as the dust of the earth. Alma 34:37-38 now my
beloved brethren I desire that ye should remember these things and
that ye should work out your salvation with fear before God that ye
contend no more against the Holy Ghost but that ye receive it and take
upon you the name of Christ that ye humble yourselves even to the dust
and worship God in whatsoever place ye may be in in spirit and truth.
1 Timothy 4:12 be thou an example of the believers in word in
conversation in charity in spirit in faith in purity
2 nephi 25:23,26 we labor diligently to write to persuade our
children and also our brethren to believe in Christ and to be
reconciled to God for we know that it is by grace that we are saved
after all we can do... We talk of Christ we rejoice in Christ we
preach of Christ we prophesy of Christ and we write according to our
prophecies that our children may know to what source they may look for
a remission of their sins. Alma 30:33-35 notwithstanding the many
labors that "we" have performed in the church "we" have never received
as much as one "Matthew 20:2 penny" for my labor neither has any of my
brethren ... And now if we do not receive anything for our labors in
the church what doth it profit us to labor in the church save it were
to declare the truth that we might have rejoicings in the joy of our
brethren?... Now believest thou that we deceive this people that
causes such joy in their hearts?
2 nephi 26:33 ... He inviteth ... All to come unto him and partake
of his goodness and he denieth none that come unto him, black and
white, bond and free, male and female, and he remembereth the heathen
and all are alike unto God both Jew and Gentile. 2 nephi 31:20/19
wherefore ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ relying
wholly upon the merits of Him who is mighty to save.wherefore if ye
shall press forward feasting upon the word of Christ and endure to the
end behold saith the Father ye shall have eternal life. 3 nephi
11:21,33 the Lord said whoso believeth in my name and is baptized
shall be saved and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God.
2 nephi 2:8 wherefore how great the importance to make these things
known unto the inhabitants of the earth that they may know that there
is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God save it be through
the merits and mercy and grace of the Holy Messiah D&C 18:10-11,14-16
remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God. For behold
the Lord your redeemer suffered death in the flesh wherefore he
suffered death in the flesh ...he suffered the pain of all men that
all men might repent and come unto him... You are called to cry
repentance unto this people and if it so be that you should labor all
your days in crying repentance unto this people and bring save it be
one soul unto "him" how great shall be your joy with him in the
kingdom of my Father! Now if your joy will be great with one soul that
you have brought unto "him" into the kingdom of my father how great
shall be your joy if you should bring many souls unto "him"! Enos 1:7
Lord how is it done? D&C 11:21 first seek to obtain my word "Alma
60:23 God hath said that the inward vessel shall be cleaned first and
then shall the outer vessel be cleansed also." And then shall your
tongue be loosed then if you desire you shall have my spirit and my
word yea the power of God unto the convincing of men. D&C 50:13,17-22
wherefore I the Lord ask you this question unto what were ye ordained?
Verily I say unto you he is ordained of me ... To preach the word of
truth by the comforter in the spirit of truth, doth he preach it by
the spirit of truth or by some other way? .. If it be by some other
way it is not of God, and again he that receiveth the word of truth
doth he receive it by the spirit of truth or by some other way? If it
be some other way it is not of God. Therefore why is it that ye cannot
understand and know that he that receiveth the word by the spirit of
truth receiveth it as it is preached by the spirit of truth. Wherefore
he that preacheth and he that receiveth understand one another and
both are deified and rejoice together. D&C 128:22 brethren shall we
not go on in so great a cause? Go forward not backward, courage
brethren and on, on to the victory! Let your hearts rejoice and be
exceedingly glad. Let the earth break forth into singing. Let the dead
speak forth anthems of eternal praise to the King Immanuel who hath
ordained, before the world was, that which would enable us to redeem
them out of their prison for the prisoners shall go free. D&C 109:4,80
in the name of Jesus Christ... Amen and amen.
