Greetings from down South!
I love my life :) I was thinking this week a lot about just how much of a blessing it is to be a full-time missionary. I love just serving, loving, and teaching people with all my time and effort. It's wonderful to be in the Lord's service.
Updates on my life: I got transferred and live in Spring now. Life is pretty fantastic here, and it's really interesting to be in an English ward for the first time as a missionary. My new comp is Elder Salgado, and we've been having a great time together.
One deep thought and one deep question:
We talk a lot about our body's five senses. Then there's the kinematic sense for #6. I think that knowing the plan of salvation, we can actually add a couple more, spiritual senses. This list is far from comprehensive, I'd love your thoughts.
The first we add is the truth sense. We as spirits and intelligences can sense truth, especially divine, religious truth, when we are presented with it. This is otherwise described as the light of Christ.
Next is the revelation sense. There's something that feels different when the Spirit is speaking to us, something different from anything we can experience with the first seven.
Both senses have to be learned and are imperfect and develop as we learn to use them and gain experience about what it is that we learn through them, just as sight or hearing or smell. So the list of "senses of the soul" is sitting at eight so far, but I'm sure there are more you could add to the list. I'd love your thoughts!
Interesting question. I've been and will be studying this as well. How did Christ's Resurrection make our own possible? Again, I'd love your thoughts.
Thanks for the emails, the prayers, and doing the things you're doing to gather Israel! This is the work of God.
Happy, grateful, lucky and blessed,
Elder Child
