Week 87

Well this week was a blast! we have been having a ton of fun here Elder Franco and I! we are working hard and trying our best to help the people of this ward! this week my comp and i learned something really cool that we have shared with multiple families in FHE (family home evenings)! it is about Nephi´s Ship, in 1Nephi 17 and 18, Nephi was sent to build a ship by the Lord and with all the murmuring of his brothers he still did it and he even did it, "after the manner of the Lord" not after the manner of men.  we looked at this story, with the huge storm and waves that were beating down on the boat, the boat never broke! Nehpi was busy dealing with his brothers who were rebelling against him and had no time or way to handle the boat. they were pushed back many days and struggled a ton, but thanks to the faith and prayers of the faithful on the ship, Nephi was able to pray and calm the storm.  the crazy thing is that nothing happend to the ship! we started to think about that and compared the ship to Life or even our homes! we taught about, how "well" built is our ship? And what would make a good strong ship and this is what we came up with,

1. the Atonement

2. The Holy Spirit

3. The scriptures

4. Prayer

5. Faith 

6. The Sacrement

7. Service! 

we feel that if we can make our ship strong with these things, we will be able get on board and sail all the way safely to the promised land! it won't matter how bad the storm that we face or how tall the waves, the ship will always be strong and firm and won't  let us sink to the bottom! With faith, we can overcome all things. 

Just think, what is my ship made of? how can i make it stronger? and do it so you can be ready to face any storm!!! 

Family home evening with these awesome people!!!
