Sons of Mosiah

Here's the next installment of the murals from the MTC.
 Can you feel the hope that the sons of Mosiah had as they went to preach the gospel?
 I wish you could feel the magnificence of these murals.  My pictures don't due justice. 
 Questions to ask yourself:
Has my heart been changed, and can I serve with the same desire as the sons of Mosiah?
What can you do to be a better disciple of Christ, and thus a more effective missionary?
Both in the MTC and here on this mission, we've been instructed several times about repentance.  It literally means "change" or "turn."  The sons of Mosiah had a definite change of heart after the angel appeared unto them.  I have never had an angel experience, but I have felt that mighty change in my life.  
When the sons of Mosiah looked down upon the Lamanite cities, did they ever dream that the people would change so much that they would rather die than take up the sword against another, even in defending themselves?  They were able to do amazing things because of their example.
As we begin this mission, it isn't about us.  It is about the good we can do. We may not be preaching each day, but we are learning and growing and being that example to others.
I feel that I am married to one of the sons of Mosiah.  My sweet husband had a mighty change of heart when he learned about the gospel of Jesus Christ.  He is a strength to me in ways he doesn't understand.  I'm thankful that he is my companion.  Not only as a missionary but for eternity!
