Today Nurjia and I went visiting teaching to Jessica. The June message is on Temple Ordinances and Covenants.
Jessica has not been able to come to church lately. She is in charge of the breakfast buffet at a resort on the island. She has to work every Sunday. Even though she has not been able to come to church, she continues to say her prayers and have faith in God.
As we visited she was excited to tell us about some blessings she has received the past few months. Then she told us the BIG news (it was the perfect lead-in to the message). Sterling (the father of her 2 children) had asked her to marry him! She was very surprised and happy. We pointed out that this was the first step toward being sealed in the Temple with her family.
Jessica is a great example of repentance. She was baptized, met Sterling, made bad choices, came back and now is looking forward with hope.
As we make and keep sacred covenants with God we can have the power to smile through hard times and have hope and direction and peace in a world full of troubles and uncertainty.
