Week 3
     I felt this week the overarching principal needed to be remembered was Remembrance.  In sacrament meeting this week, a brother from the stake came and gave a great talk on how one of the most important and reiterated words in the Book of Mormon is "remember" and how its so easy to forget the things we have learned or come to know. It reminded me a scripture i learned while doing service work in South Korea.

Heleman 12:4
 "And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

The foundation of Christ is there for all who allow the spirit of the lord to come into their lives. He gives of his love openly and freely and when we have those experiences we need to keep the close to our hearts and remember why and what it can do for us. This week in class the idea of how we cant see the wind but we can feel its effects, really stuck with this concept of remembrance. Because we cant see the wind, just like the spirit sometimes its hard to remember the feelings we have. As quickly as it comes, it can vanish so its important we always try to be mindful and respective to it. Even though we cant see the wind we can feel its effects, how it can change and move around us. The spirit can through us and by our actions and desires we can feel its effects in our lives just the same.
