Had the opportunity to speak in Sacrament Meeting the Sunday before I reported to the MTC. These are the notes and quotes I used. :)
JOY in the Plan of Salvation
JOY in the Plan of Salvation
And
the Race of Life
Overview of the Plan
In life we are often faced
with and challenged by the questions:
·
“Where did we come from?”
·
“Why are we here?”
·
“Where are we going?”
Our hope and happiness lie
in knowing the answers to these questions.
Today
I’ve been asked to speak on the great joy that comes from understanding the
plan of salvation.
In
preparing this talk, I recognized three main ways that understanding the Plan
of Salvation has brought joy into my life. I know there are many, many others,
but today I’d like to focus on these three.
President
Thomas S. Monson gave a great general conference talk titled, “The Race of
Life” and a lot of his comments gave me ideas for what I wanted to say today.
Kind
of on a side note, I started running and doing races in 8th grade, I ran
XC during all of HS, and I’m hoping that
running will be a life long sport for me. And as I wrote my talk I thought of
some pretty fun analogies that correlate with what I wanted to say today and also
President Monson’s description of the race of life…
Okay
so let’s look at these three things….
