It is getting harder and harder to select an excerpt from Peter's lessons. He shares his testimony so beautifully throughout the entire letter. Contact Kathy and ask to be put on her forward list if you want to read his letters. Here's a bit from this week...
The gospel is true and it's exciting to find those that are prepared to listen!
The other family ...... are very humble, and I was touched when the mother talked about receiving answers to prayers in her life. I know that God does know us each individually and that he listens to all of his children that pray sincerely.
In my studies I read the scriptures in 2nd Nephi 1:26-27 when Lehi explains to his sons why Nephi has had to speak so boldy to them. It explains that because Nephi was so in tune with the Spirit, he couldn't help but tell them exactly what God wanted them to hear. As I've been working with Elder Glauser, I've learned a lot about the power and importance of being a bold missionary. I've seen that when you really love someone, you will expect the best for them, no matter how hard it may be for them to hear. It reminded me of Dad, and the long, long saturdays we would spend doing yard work on Brookside Drive. I used to hate that. But I know that he only made us do that because he loved us. It's become very clear that the easy way is almost never the best. And then I thought about the love of our Heavenly Father. God is very bold. He's always told us exactly what we need to do, knowing full well that if we do it, we will be happy.
I love you all!
Love, Elder Barnes
