Ch. 15 -- When Christ is explaining to the people that there are "other" sheep and that the Law of Moses had been fulfilled...I can completely understand why they didn't understand. In my life it is very hard to see why things happen. I don't fully understand. I realize that this is normal for everyone...God works in mysterious ways and it is for our benefit...but sometimes I just wish I could know for sure!! I get so frustrated because what I want isn't always what the Lord wants and sometimes it is really hard for me to grasp. I just know that if we put our trust and faith in Him and prayer and study our scriptures, that in time we will understand (somewhat) His reasoning and accept His will better.
Ch. 16 -- As Christ is telling the people that the gospel will reach all four quarters of the earth, I get so happy and excited!! I love missionary work!! My older brother Grant went on a mission and the change that I saw in him was amazing!! He grew so much and was such a better person because of the things that he experienced while on his mission. My brother Peter is currently serving a mission and I have been able to see that change in him also. I would love the opportunity to serve a mission and am contemplating it. I would love to know that I can be an instrument in God's hands, helping to bring His children into the knowledge of the truthfulness of this gospel!! I love knowing that God has a plan and that I have a role in that plan!!
