Whoot whoot for all the posts! this is fun but why did Mike put a picture of me on the blog... haha. I would beg to differ that I am the best looking Ogden. In fact I would say I am the least good looking of all ya all. 6feet and 6inches of skin and bone. I did spend 25$ big ones at Wal-Mart on groceries the other day in hopes to beef up… so we’ll see. (that’s a big step!) Ok… Enough about me… Let’s talk about Nephi. In chapter 6 vrs. 4 we see Nephi’s real intent in writing these scriptures. It is to persuade the reader to come unto God. If that was my intent in all my doings how would the world be different? Vrs. 5 tells us that if the world reads this looking for pleasure they will not find it but only the things of God. The book will change your life (I saw it and see it happen a lot) but you can’t open it and expect to be captivated (in a world sense.) Captivation, like so many authors try to do with their best sealers for their readers, is not here in the Book of Mormon. You will get out of this book what you put into studding it. It’s God’s way of us learning his WORD. Why would he write like a mortal… he tells the prophets to write his way and expects us to come to his level.
One quick thing… I am going back to the Philippines on May 5 for more service! SO excited. (next time I’m bringing ya all.) We are looking for possible fundraiser ideas… Maybe fundraisers your ward or scouts have done? Do any of you have ideas? Dad could I use your jumper thing? Just let me know. Mahal kita!
