Things Learned on Sunday:

This week at church:

1. Blessings that come as we sacrifice our lives in serving the Lord. We sacrifice many things to serve a mission. Sacrifice- doing without something or giving up something. Giving your life to the Lord to be able to preach His gospel and have His spirit. We need to rely on Him guide us.
2. Learned more on the story of Joseph that was sold into Egypt by his brothers. What are some things to learn of his trails that he went through?... 1)He was hated by his brothers, they were jealous of him, they didn't speak peaceable to him. 2)they wanted to kill him/ sold into Egypt. 3) unjustly imprisoned/ law of chastity. 4) he was forgotten by his associates in prison. Some things to learn from this is Joseph attitude towards hat happened to him. He looked to the Lord. He had a eternal perspective- His behavior depends what happens later. HE forgave, looked at the positive things, he arose to the top. In Genesis 41:15-16 He gave credit to God for his trials. Genesis 45:5-8 How does this change the way I look at my trials? What was his attitude? What should our attitude be? We need to look at the story of Joseph as a reminder to look to God through our trails He is there for us and wants to to LEARN, GROW, LOVE, FORGIVE, have CHARITY, have a greater FAITH, in Him. How do we know that Christ is the center of my life?
3. The Fall of Adam and Eve was a good thing. It brought forth the Atonement, to be able to be clean from our sins and to be able to live with Him again. We were able to come to earth to receive a body, we were able to experience joy, pain, heartache, happiness, sorrow, peace those things that Adam and Eve weren't able to experience in the Garden of Eden.
