The administrivia are getting more and more frightful. I sent a form to Paris for President Hinckley’s signature. We also had to get certified copies made of our identity cards and to stand in a whole bunch of lines. I hope these Lambrettas will be worth the trouble.
Do you think that the earth won’t vanish away? Check out Alma 9:3.
We’ll see the importance of the testimonies of the two witnesses in 10:10, 12, and thereabouts.
And yet another example of the power of the prayers one offers for others: 10:22-23. I wonder if we don’t sometimes pull away from the Spirit, when we pray so much for ourselves. We’ll surely receive what we need, if we follow the strait and narrow path; is it necessary that we think always of our own needs and pray about [61] them? Isn’t our duty more to stay close to the Spirit?
We can learn something, I believe, from the good example of reverence and suitable conduct at meetings of which Alma speaks in 7:26.
We were very fortunate, this morning. After hunting nearly an hour for the road to a big apartment complex we could see, we finally found it. And the last three doors we knocked on were opened by very nice ladies who invited us in. Each of these ladies said she’d come to our Sunday morning meetings, and we have appointments to speak with them further.
12-17 Good branch meetings today. More and more, our meeting hall becomes too small for our crowd. We rented the big meeting room of the
Hotel de France for the big Christmas party, next Saturday. But the facilities remain inadequate for our weekly meetings.
Alma gives us some perspective about the mysteries of God in 12:9-11. Knowing and understanding
