Sort of routine

I cannot figure out why I can't make paragrahs. If anyone can clue me in, I'd appreciate it.

I think things have settled into a little bit of a routine. There is not much exciting that’s fit to print. Many people go “up country” for the “festival season” so there have been fewer people at church. There have been festivities here. We know because we hear the music all night long. But now the children are back in school, and life is getting more routine. We are trying to set up a schedule—days we travel to Busia, days we do cottage meetings, district meetings, days to teach skills to the Relief Society, young women and primary presidencies. Many things need to be done on Sunday when we are all gathered. I was able to meet at least briefly with all of them.

One of our members is in the process of starting a pre-school. Our friend Morrice has been helping her and we have been active cheerleaders. What a project. Getting a building, getting it fixed up, getting chairs, tables, blackboards, advertising, deciding on school uniforms. There are no pre-schools in this area and people have asked for one. Now to see if the parents want it enough to pay the monthly tuition. I hope she succeeds! I hope she budgets carefully enough to make it successful not only for her but for others she might employ.

Tuesday we began our first Institute Class. It is on the Book of Mormon. I was impressed again with the power and importance of the book. It was the foundation of the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It testifies the Jesus is the Christ, the Savior of the world. There is such an awesome promise in the Book of Mormon. It says that if you will read it and then pray about it with real intent and with the promise that you will act on the answer you get, that God will tell you the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.

And when you come to know the Book of Mormon is the inspired word of God, then you also know that Jesus is the Christ, that Joseph Smith is was called by Jesus to be a Prophet in these last days, and that the Church of Jesus Christ is once again restored to the earth. This is the same Church Jesus established when he was on the earth—but since now is the “Latter-days” or the days shortly before the second coming, it’s called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It’s so cool that there is hard evidence of these truths. You don’t have to take anyone’s word for it. You can read, and pray and learn for yourself.
