My second son is preparing to leave on his mission in a few weeks. He starts at-home MTC in a week,
and then he will enter the Provo MTC and then be on his way to the Kentucky Louisville mission. I am incredibly proud of him and please with his decision to serve a mission. I know that he will grow a ton from the experience.
As he has been preparing for his mission, I have been studying Preach My Gospel. I wish I could say I have been studying with him, but he is pretty hard to get ahold of.
In any case, I have been enjoying studying Preach My Gospel. I was studying Chapter 2 yesterday and came across the inspiration verse for my blog:
15 And upon these I write the things of my soul, and many of the scriptures which are engraven upon the plates of brass. For my soul delighteth in the scriptures, and my heart pondereth them, and writeth them for the learning and the profit of my children.
16 Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord; and my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard.
The part of the verse that I have focused on is "for the learning and the profit of my children". I want my children to know that my soul delighteth in the scriptures, and I hope that they will find delight in the scriptures themselves.
