2 Nephi 31-33

First off I am SO SORRY I AM A HORRIBLE PERSON!!! I have been so bad at blogging. So therefore, these posts will probably be short, since it's kind of been a week since I've read most of these chapters, but I skimmed through to see what I had thought.

There is one line in chapter 31 verse 3 that I love. "For my soul delighteth in plainness". The gospel is pure and simple. If you think about it in reality, there is not a lot to do to make it back to the kingdom of Heaven you know? Kind of like what Sister Thompson said in Conference this morning "study the scriptures, follow the prophets, and seek to live righteous lives". Really it's simple as that. Of course, we need to make and keep specific covenants in the temple, but that comes with living righteous lives right?

Loved how chapter 32 talks about prayer. Pray always and not faint. I was having a weird time the other night, feeling like I was super duper dumb for coming out here to Missouri.. So I prayed for some sort of reassurance that I wasn't crazy, or that I was doing an okay thing, at least that it was okay for me to even come and see what was up, you know? And I felt like I got an answer to my prayer. That night, weirdly enough, I found comfort in my dreams. When I woke up, I felt reassured that I was not wrong in coming, even if nothing exactly comes of this visit.. At least I came.

I like in 33 how Nephi admits that he is not strong in writing, like unto speaking. Seeing how amazing his writing is, imagine what it would have been like to actually HEAR him speak!? He had the power of the Holy Ghost when he spoke. Maybe someday, we will hear that!! And again, he speaks about the "plainness of the truth". Love it. Nephi again says in verse 4, "I glory in plainness; I glory in truth..."
