The new Liahona has a quote that touched my heart so much
this week. It says, "No matter how
many times you promise to remember God, He will always remember you." I was talking with this really nice lady on
the MTR today and she was telling me about times in her life when she has had
to rely on God, but that she usually has to initiate it, haha. (: This made me
think of that quote, and I "coincidentally" (not) had the Liahona
with me! She knew just enough English to
understand that quote, and she was amazed. She had never thought about the fact that God
is always thinking of her, even when she's not thinking of Him. How many times
does this happen to us? ALL THE TIME! But
His grace and mercy is infinite. . . literally. . . infinite.
I don't have a lot of time this week, but I hope you all had
a good week. My comp was doing personal
study the other day and just started busting up laughing. She was reading in Alma 31 about the
Rameuptom.
After Alma and his brethren had witnessed this, the
scriptures record their reaction by saying that “they were astonished beyond
all measure.” It was at this point when
my companion starting laughing. If you’ve
ever served a mission, I’m guessing you can relate to talking to someone and
they say, "Oh I believe in myself," or "I don't believe in a
God," or " Yes, I pray all morning to God" to find out that the
prayer is a song that they sing or it is the same every day. When I have moment like this, I feel shoulder
to shoulder with Alma and Amulek, “astonished beyond all measure.”
How grateful I am for this religion, this Gospel and all its
teachings. God really does always remember us, even when we aren't taking the
time, or keeping the promise to remember Him!
Love you all, wish I had more time to tell you about my
week. We got to go the temple and had interviews with President Lam, and so
much more, but mouh sih gaan! Love you!!
Love, Sister Webb
