This was a great week because after Stake Conference with President Teixera we had Zone Conference with President Kopischke and I think they are a lot more open with missionaries than they are in general audience stake conference. What we got from that was a bunch of things but here I have got two things.
1) Alma 32:27-29 Faith Cycle
----all about desires
2) Mosiah 4:9-10 B.C.D.
-----Believe. Change. Do.
The faith cycle starts with a desire to believe, give place, don't cast out by unbelief. THat is our part of showing our faith by our action and then God will show his Power by the result. It will swell within us, increase our faith, then our knowledge will be perfect in that thing and our faith will be dormant.
Hence the quote from Pres. Benson. "The Gospel is to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable" Because if we are comfortable it is probably because we already know the answers to the situtations we are being placed and placing ourselves in. We have to CHANGE IT up.
"If we are too content, then maybe a divine dose of discontent will be needed" to shake us back to progress.
If our Action of Faith is Dormant then we are not going to see God's power.
#2 is talking about how we can keep good feelings with us after spiritual meetings and experiences. Then we need to apply B.C.D. Believe what you heard. Change too be in line with that spirit you felt and then DO what you learned.
I love you all
Elder Blackburn
