The whole 일산 (Ilsan) house is now in a church video, replaying Elder Beks experience.
It was cool and we found out that the camera man wasn't a member. We had a good lunch talking about the gospel with him.
We made a Zombie Escape Room this last weekend for the youth as missionaries. We gathered clues together and darkened the whole 3rd floor and move furniture and had clues in rooms for them to solve in order to win.
We scared the leaders and had fun with the youth. There were a good amount of nonmembers who came as well.
It was so much fun! I love our youth.
And, we are having a baptism this coming up Sunday, so we are going to members homes and inviting them to bring a friend to this great event. We are so excited for him.
But my favorite thing from this last week was what I learned while having a discussion with Daniel....
GOD is the Standard of all Truth, no man is.
- "I am not the one to choose if this is true or not" ~Daniel
- "Why are the other church people wrong (stupid as you put it) in the way they do things?"~Me "When I asked them questions they don't answer me. Like when I ask them what about the 외경. They completely reject even their existence. Why? Just because their 목사님 (pastor) told them it was so." ~Daniel "Wow!! You know from your own personal experience that it is obvious when something is wrong. And that no man or 선교사(missionary) or John can set the standard of truth"
We all know soooo clearly from the Bible that there is only "One Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Ephesians 4:5) Meaning that God has provided the best perfect way. But the problem now comes in discerning which is the right way. Right?
I am so grateful that I have learned who the Standard of Truth is, because then I can know how to act or which foundation I should build upon. And, I am put to ease by the fact that I know as to where my future lies and I have the promises of this scripture.
"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." (Helman 5:12)
I know this is the way because of many spiritual witnesses I have received from God. Expressed to me in a way no man can.
"No wicked man could [even] write such a book as [Book of Mormon]; and no good man would [even dare to try to] write it... UNLESS it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.”
Wicked men most certainly do not set the standard of truth and it is plain and obvious that they are wrong because of their motivation and their hearts, but not even good men can set the standard of truth of what is right and wrong no matter how good they are. Only God can. And only He the keeper of truth can be the one to choose who will be His keeper of Truth, the Living Prophet. Joseph Smith was called by God to restore the truth just as Moses and others at the beginning of dispensations to bring back what was lost. And the prophets following these men were chosen by God to reveal the will of God and maintain that truth which was restored.
I am thankful for our living Prophet, Russell M Nelson, for being God's worthy spokesman.
Love this the restored gospel and I know what God expects of me because I know who is the standard of truth.
~Elder Alger
