Nick has been using his Facebook page to share some awesome
testimonies and invitations for watch General Conference
As you all know due to COVID-19 we as latter-day saints are no longer able to meet on Sundays for church. In Alma 32, although they had different reasons, there was a group of people also unable to worship in their churches. This is Alma's counsel to them, "Do ye suppose that ye cannot worship God save it be in your synagogues only? do ye suppose that ye must not worship God only once in a week? It is well that ye are cast out of your synagogues, that ye may be humble."
Here's a prophet of God telling these people that them not being allowed in their churches is a good thing. It teaches them humility. You wonder if we are going through this same trial to also learn to be humble. I would even add to learn how to be spiritually self reliant. I read this story and immediately thought of the similarities to our day. The Book of Mormon is for our day and I have the strongest testimony of that. We, like these people in Alma 32, are unable to attend church on Sundays, but that doesn't mean we can't worship God anymore. In fact, we even have General Conference this weekend. What a blessing that is.
In this time, I, like Alma, challenge all of you to be humble and to be spiritually self reliant. Tune into General Conference this weekend to hear God's messengers. And after that, continue to worship God and live His gospel. This gospel is so much more than a one time thing. We are to endure to the end. 2 Nephi, chapter 31, verses 19-21 say, "After ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Nay, ye must press forward!! This is the way and there is none other way!!"
I have a testimony of the Book of Mormon. I have a testimony of Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. I have a testimony of our living prophet, Russell M Nelson. I have a testimony of Joseph Smith being the Prophet chosen to restore this gospel upon the earth. I say these things in the name of the good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, amen.
He and Elder Fullmer and eager to teach, but can only teach via Google Hangouts or similar computer technology. They are SO excited to share messages of
peace, hope, the plan of salvation, or any gospel topic.
Nick's words were, "we are ridiculously anxious to share the
truths of the restored gospel with people."
Nick is lucky that his companion, Elder Fullmer, likes to cook and DOES cook often.
That is a serious blessing for Nick ;)
He said Elder Fullmer has a big bag of spices and makes all their food amazing!
Kudos to Elder Fullmer (and his mom or dad, whoever taught him to cook!!)
