I was reading D&C 89 the other day and I truly love the blessings that we are able to receive if we keep the Word of Wisdom.
18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and marrow to their bones;
19 And shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures;
20 And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint.
21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen
I truly like the last verse how it says we are protected from Satan tempting us as we strive to remain faithful to that commandment. I know that it is important to take care of our bodies since they are a special gift from Heavenly Father. As a missionary I have seen this bless so many of Heavenly Father's children as they obey his commandments especially the word of wisdom.
We went to go knocking doors the other day and we knocked into a guy's house who had actual real animals that he had shot himself around his house. It was literally like a mini Bean museum (like the one at BYU in provo). Anyway it was fun to visit with him and talk about how he had traveled all over the world to hunt these animals.
On Monday and Wednesday evenings we went caroling as a district and it was really fun! Caroling is great and it just makes other people happy and feel the Christmas spirit.
Christmas was pretty good here. It seemed like a regular day but it was still fun. We went to the stake center as a district and played cards and opened presents. Then for lunch we went to our bishop's house and then we went to another member's house for dinner. So we had a lot of ham and cheese potatoes that day.
So yesterday we had Kyle come to church and she loved it as usual. One cool thing about Kyle is that she used to live in Nagoya Japan not too long ago, which is the same as my sister Bonnie's mission. So it was fun to talk to her about that. Anyway she met a recent convert in the ward named Patrick and she asked him some good questions and they starting talking more about the church and it was great, they were getting along well with each other.
Wow I can't believe it'
s almost 2020! Make it a great year! Hope you all had a great Christmas and have a great New Year!
Love you all!
