In zone meeting, we reflected on the wonderful blessings the Lord has poured out on our zone through this spring and summer. As part of this, we reviewed briefly part of Elder Perry's talk The Past Way of Facing the Future. In this talk, he recounts how Norwegian ship builders received the assignment to build the roof of the Manti temple. Having no background in roofing, they eventually designed a ship upside down on the plans and when they flipped it over had plans for a secure roof.
Here are some past lessons we have learned that will enable us to face the future, both at the MTC and in our personal lives.
We invite anyone else who wants to take this reflective moment and see the Lord's hand in their lives to add the lessons they have learned as well.
It was overwhelming enough being a new teacher under the guidance of a great lead teacher, but when health issues forced her out of the classroom, I felt absolutely underprepared to fill her role and lead in the classroom. However, I was able to learn first hand the power the Savior offers as we come unto him. I was enabled with power that was not my own, and I don't believe it was for me. This work is much too important, and I was strengthened to guide the missionaries to where they needed to be. I felt the Savior's grace lift me as I strove to minister to his chosen representatives, and I know we can have trust in that power.
