Hola mamá! Thanks for the update on the Family! This week went well. Lots of meetings and service. Nothing super out of the ordinary though. This last week in our companion study we read the first chapter of Alma and quite a bit stuck out to me. First of all, Nehor is quite the dude. And the lies he gave were pretty cunning. what I find interesting is when he came face to face with a man of God, and was reproved for his lies, he flipped out and killed Gideon. That reminds me so much of Proverbs 13:18 where it says "Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honored." Not only did Nehor miss out on the Honor of changing and repenting, but received an ignominious death. I don't know what ignominious means, but it sounds pretty awful. Which makes sense. Death for the righteous is but a step forward into the eternities, but death for the wicked is an awful fear. For the way of the transgressor is hard. (Proverbs 13:15) there are so many reasons we should be righteous. And if anything, the price to pay for being unrighteous is enough reason for me to avoid that. Stay good. And don't kill the prophets.
Love you all.
Elder Bailey
