Atonement

Our Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us that enables us to return and live with him again. The most important part of that plan that he has for us is the atonement of Jesus Christ. The atonement consists of three things. His suffering in the garden of Gethsemene, His death on the cross, and his resurrection. With out these three things we would not be able to return and live with God again. That is why it so essential to the plan that he has for us. Gods plan is also layed out for us to follow him by having faith, repenting, batism, receiving the gift of the holy ghost and enduring to the end. These five steps will get us home to live with our Heavenly Father! This plan that Heavenly Father has for each of us is perfect in every way and will work to lead us home. I am grateful for this plan. It makes me happy to know that i am not alone and that I can have christ in my life to help me so that i can return. I know that by following these 5 steps that we can live with god again. It makes him happy when I follow him. He loves everyone no matter what. No matter who they are, what they have gone through. He wants EVERYONE! to follow him so they can live with thim again.

Missionaries!!

I am Sister Tuckett and i am a missionary for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. My purpose as a missionary is to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement, repentence, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end. I am a Missionary because i love my god and i want to serve him and fulfill my purpose as a missonary. What is a missionary? A missionary is a reprsentative of Jesus Christ that goes out to different places in the world and teaches about Jesus Christ and about his church that he said up when he was on the earth. We teach about Heavenly Fathers plan for us and how we can live with him again. We teach about having faith and repenting of our wrongs and how we can be baptized and then have the holy ghost to be with us at all times. We teach about gods commandments that he has given us and how to follow him. We teach about families and we can be with them forever! When do missionaries go? The male missionaries(Elders) go out when they are 19 years of age and sisters go out when they are 21. Missionaries go to Canada, US, Europe, Africa, England and lots of other places around the world. 

There are hundrends of missionaries out preaching the gospel. Missionaries are called by our living prophet and apostles today. We feel out a series of papers and turn them into Salt Lake City, UT and they decide where each missionary goes, then they send us back a letter telling us where the lord wants us to go. We then report on a certain date to what is called the MTC(Missionary Training Center) we go there to learn how to teach people and how to be become successful missionaries. We are there for about 3 weeks and then go to where we have been called to serve. Elders serve for 24 months and the sisters serve for 18 months. We dedicate our time and effort to the lord. We are set apart from the world to do the lords work and to only serve him. I am so happy to be a missionary and i am know that i have been called of god to teach his gospel to the people of Montana. In the Book of Mormon: Another Testement of Jesus Christ i love the verse which reads: "Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble." I am out here to help people to come unto Christ so that can enjoy the blessing that i enjoy.  http://mormon.org/missionaries/

One night I had a dream--
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
one belonged to me and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way,
but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
"I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,
you should leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never, never leave you
during your times of trial and suffering.
"When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

A Living Prophet Today!

In the Book of Mormon we read about King Noah. King Noah was a very wicked man. He did not keep the commandments of god, he was self conceited,he lied, he was lazy, idolatrous, and he did not care about any one but himself. He also had a lot of  wealth, and went after riches.He taught his people to do the same and not to follow god.

Because he was so wicked, god sent a prophet(Abinadi) to tell King Noah and his people that they needed to repent or his people will be put in bondage. But King Noah did not listen and he said that he was a crazy man and to kill him. So Abinadi was put to death by fire. This story reminds me a lot of our world today. We have those people that are following the ways of the world and not the ways of god. So god called a prophet just like Abinadi to call us to repentance and to follow Heavenly Father today. It is so important that we have a prophet today. Cause the world is getting more and more crazier each day. We need that prophet to lead and guide us, to warn us and to receive that direct communication with our loving heavenly father.

Thomas S. Monson

The Power of the Atonement!

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
With the baby in the backseat

Fifty miles to go and she was running low
On faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year

She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning
On a thin black sheet of glass

She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared
She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own

I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Sleeping like a rock

And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life

I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own

I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on

Oh Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go

So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me.

 As you all my know this song is from Carrie Underwood. It is one of my favroite songs. The chorus part of this song reminds a lot of the atonement. In this song she is talking about a young mom that is driving through a snow storm and she had been thinking alot about her life, had  alot on her mind and she knew she needed to change to pray and and ask god to help her. That is what we need to do. When we have those storms in our life that is when we really need to turn to the lord and ask for help and for forgivness.  He wants us to ask him and to follow him. He will take over our wheel and will drive where we need to go so that we can get through the storms that we go through. There is always a second chance. We can always start over. The atonement of Jesus Christ is like a reset button. Instead of a game over we can reset and try again. He is there for us! so pray to him and let him take over. That is why he performed the atonement. So that we can apply it into our lives. When we apply the atonement to our lives we need reconize that we need to change we have done something wrong, and to feel that godly sorrow. We need to pray and confess to Heavenly Father and to ask him for forgivness. Once we have shown him that we are willing to change and have prayed and ask for forgivness. We need to make what is worng right. If we have stolen something we need to return it, If we have lied we need to fix that lie. Whatever it may be, we need to fix it and promise to never do it again. Repentance and  applying the atomement to our lives is an everyday process. Everyday we need to repent and to apply the atonement. In this song the women repents, she apply christ atonement wants him to help her. I have seen the atonement in my on life and i know that it is real and that i can always come back to my savior I can have that second chance to pick myslef up and to start again. This is my testimony in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

Cumorahs Hill

Long were the shadows, deep was the chill of star-less night.
Great the confusion now ages long upon the land.
Long upon the land.

Hushed were the voices, silent the witness of the past.
Timeless the record hidden between the earth and stone.
Tender the prophet brought to the hillside,
drawn by a vision bright.
Breathless the moment when the stone was opened
lifting the truth to the light.

From Cumorah's Hill there comes a witness and a warning;
Out of darkness shines at last the welcome light of morning!

Now are the stick of Joseph and Judah one in hand,
How plain and precious now is the Gospel of the Lamb.
Read from its pages, drink from the fountain,
feast on the words of Christ.
Saved through the ages for this dispensation
piercing the clouds of the night.

From Cumorah's Hill there comes a witness and a warning;
Out of darkness shines at last the welcome light of morning!

Ancient voices crying from the dust,
Ancient voices crying from the dust.
God remembers yet His covenant.
God remembers yet His covenant.
In the latter-day He speaks to us
In the latter-day He speaks to us

From Cumorah's Hill.
from Cumorah's Hill.

From Cumorah's Hill there comes a witness and a warning; 
Out of darkness shines at last the welcome light of morning!
Morning! From Cumorah's Hill!
