Feed My Sheep

This week for our pathway class we’ve been reading through 3 Nephi 12-17

In these chapters it talks about how Jesus visited the Nephite people after his resurrection.

As Jesus teaches, He organizes His church among the Nephites and tells them of other sheep that are not of this fold. I love when he talks about sheep from another fold and how we are to seek them out to bring them into the fold.

One other thing I was able to do this past week was spend time with the Priests quorum and the Teachers quorum from our ward as we went on our high adventure scout camp.

One of the activities we did with the young men during the week of camp was a COPE course. COPE stands for Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience and is made up of a variety of different activities throughout the day.

As I studied the scriptures throughout the week, the activities we did during scout camp made me think of what the Savior was teaching the Nephites.

In our COPE course, one thing that constantly came up during the activities was the importance of teamwork. Along with this was the mindset that we had to have to not leave anyone behind as we progressed through the challenges.

It really made me think of the teachings of the Savior and how in life, we need to adopt this type of attitude in our daily lives. We need to be aware at all times of those around us and what we can do to help them.  We know that we are all God’s children and with this knowledge comes a particular responsibility to share the gospel with others.

We should always keep those around us in mind so that we might look for ways to bring them into the fold as the Savior has counseled us to do. We should be constantly seeking out and helping to spread the gospel.

I am grateful for the gospel in my life and I hope that I can do better in the future with seeking out those around me that are looking for the truth of the gospel.
