"As many as shall believe in Christ shall also become a delightsome people." 2 Nephi 30:7
I need to pay tribute to the Christians of Oklahoma. I know that I am sent forth to teach others, but sometimes I can't help being taught of them.
In a recent visit, Elder Anderson counseled us to ask Oklahomans about their faith in Christ. This question has opened up a world of goodwill and spiritual instruction! They might say no to our invitation to pray. They might refuse our cards. But these marvelous, believing people can't resist an opportunity to testify!
On Friday evening we sat on the lawn and chatted with five Apostolic Christians, and it was one of the happiest evenings of my life. They understand the doctrine of Christ! Their lifestyle is impressively similar to ours. We prayed together and compared scriptural verses. We shared tears and testimony. What we have in common is so much more than what differs. And what we have in common is Jesus Christ.
Nephi called it: they are a delightsome people!
Dear God, thanks for sending me to the Bible belt. :)
