These are notes from a talk at church. Any misinformation is the fault of the note-taker.
- The Lord has always built his church on those who are willing to devote their lives to him.
- Any saint who has chosen to be gathered in Israel.
Three traits of a Pioneer.
- They follow the prophet Moses, Nephi, and Joseph smith. They know the prophets are called of God.
- Pioneers share the gospel. A 11yr old in Peru was an excellent missionary. When we share the gospel, and the other person feels the spirt we too feel the spirit. If we are unashamed in sharing the gospel, we can call ourselves pioneers.
2nt Nephi 9:18
- Pioneers are covenant keepers.
The Israelites carried the Tabernacle.
The Nephites performed sacrifices.
The saints during the time of Joseph Smith, before crossing the plains, were living the ordinances.
Today we make covenants through baptism and marriage.
Our covenants help us to change and become better. They give our lives meaning.
We can repent and continue along the covenant path.
If we live the commandments, we will be blessed.
Christ was a pioneer by establishing his church on the earth.
