change
Recently i've been contemplating some changes that have been put upon me. I've been reassigned the the ammon 20th branch. I've spent the last 17 months in the 19th branch being as happy as can be. As i try to come to peace with this situation I came across a scripture in 1st Nephi 11:16-17. Nephi is asked the question "knowest thou the condescension of God?" or in other words do you know why God does the things he does and what his purposes in all things are? and Nephi's response sums up what i need to remember. he says "I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless i do not know the meaning of all things" I know that Heavenly father loves us and that everything that happens to us is because of that but i dont know why things are happening like they are. I dont know why the branches are being changed in a manner that doesnt make any sense to me(in fact quite the opposite) but i do know that God is in control of it all and that He loves each and every one of us so this will work out for our best interests. I dont know how but i know that he loves us and hopefully that can be enough for me.

Yay! You finally updated your blog again!
Your post reminded me of our field trip yesterday. As we sat outside ancient Jericho, we talked about Joshua and how he told the Israelites to walk around the city 7 times, blow trumpets, and shout, and the wall would fall down. I'm sure they must have thought that he was crazy, and wondered why the Lord would require something of them that made no sense (kind of like requiring you to move to a new ward boundaries). But, thankfully the Israelites listened to Joshua and they were able to take Jericho. So, keep your chin up-- maybe you're just being prepared for the walls of Jericho to fall down and the way to the Promised land to open up!
Hey Ernie,
I found your blog. You need pictures. This is cool though. It is like a journal. Neat.
