MISSIONARY WORK!

Alma 14:10
"And when Amulek saw the pains of the women and children who were consuming in the fire, he also was pained; and he said unto Alma: How can we witness this awful scene? Therefore let us stretch forth our hands, and exercise the power of God which is in us, and save them from the flames."

Mr. Griffin pointed out Amulek's family may have very well been in that fire.

I can imagine how much faith that man must have had, to watch his family dying? He has the prophet next to him who tells him that he shouldn't do anything about it, and he does as the prophet says?

This shows a couple of things to me. One, having faith in our prophet. Recently in General Conference, I felt that one of the overlying themes was to follow the prophet and to have faith in the fact that he is our prophet and he does communicate with God. It was beautiful, really. All the apostles speaking of their love for President Monson, and admonishing the saints to follow him. I've never really thought about how much faith it could take to follow a prophet, especially when times are tough or when what he says "doesn't make sense." It gave me a wish to follow what he says, and to have faith in him.

Not only that; I thought of the fact that we also have to have faith in our Father's plan for us. Recently I feel like I have made a lot of decisions that seem totally crazy--especially to the world. I am currently waiting for a mission call. But I've learned that I need to trust in my Father in Heaven and do as He would want me to do, because he does know best. I am so grateful for the knowledge that he does love me! Personally! And He knows me! Personally!

Amulek shares all of this with his enemies! Because it is so true and so beautiful! Reading about him has given me courage to share what is close to my heart, even if it may be rejected. And I have never been so excited to do so in my life! I get to share The Book of Mormon somewhere in the world!
