Enos Chapter 1

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

     The scriptures are often compared to food or nourishment for the Soul/Spirit.  As I read the book of Enos, I feel as though it is so rich in nourishment.  There are so many great things found in this small Book and Chapter, it is kind of hard to know what to focus on.
     But I suppose there was a part that stuck out to me and it was from these few versus found in the chapter:
      Enos is Lehi's grandson.  He is Jacob's son.  Now I am not entirely sure to what extent Enos was a sinner, but he talks about remembering his father teaching him about joy from following Christ and he yearns for it as an older man.  He gets down on his knees one day while hunting and begins to pray all day and all night long.  
      During his prayer he hears a voice:
And there came a avoice unto me, saying: Enos, thy sins are bforgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed.
 And I, Enos, knew that God acould not lie; wherefore, my guilt was swept away.
 And I said: Lord, how is it done?
 And he said unto me: aBecause of thy bfaith in Christ, whom thou hast never before heard nor seen. And many years pass away before he shall manifest himself in the flesh; wherefore, go to, thy faith hath made thee cwhole.
     I love these scriptures.  The Savior is so good.  Sometimes when I feel like I haven't been the best person, I begin to pray and I feel His love.  I have never seen Him in person and I have never talked to Him in person (at least in this life), but for some reason when I reach out toward Him, He reaches back.  
Love,

     We are moving forward in our lives and I have to tell you this is a leap of faith on my part.  My husband got into grad school in  North Dakota!!  I told my husband that I needed to learn for myself that this was where we needed to be and I went to the temple 3 times searching for answers.  The third time I went I felt so much peace about North Dakota and I know that is where the Lord wants us.  We will be missionaries there.
       So we packed everything up and we moved to Houston, Tx for a summer job and we are off to North Dakota in the fall.  Wish us luck!
