Not much happened this week
besides I got sick. Not to the point where I couldn't function but had a fog in
my mind the entire time. I don't like being sick because I can't focus
effectively as I usually can. So I couldn't speak or listen as well as I
usually can. I was somewhat frustrated at God thinking I'm here serving you and
I'm sick now. But my companion read a verse to one of the members here and it hit
me.
1 Nephi 18:15-16
15 And it came to pass that we
were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea. And after we had been
driven back upon the waters for the space of four days, my brethren began to
see that the judgments of God were upon them, and that they
must perish save that they should repent of their iniquities; wherefore, they
came unto me, and loosed the bands which were upon my wrists, and behold they
had swollen exceedingly; and also mine ankles were much swollen, and great was
the soreness thereof.
16 Nevertheless, I did look
unto my God, and I did praise him all the day long; and I did not murmur
against the Lord because of mine afflictions.
No matter your afflictions or
downfalls always pray and have faith that your trials and tribulations will be
but a short period. I'm still sick but I give thanks for the
health I have and for the opportunity to serve him here. I encourage all of you
to the same as well because it has opened my eyes and I know
it will open yours too.
Les quiero.
Elder Broadbent.
