A big thanks to my long-lost cousin Jennifer Bringhurst.
In today’s missionary minute I was thinking about Jen’s trials as a missionary. I never experienced the same trials, but I’ve watched the missionaries here in Port Angeles who have had Japanese on their name tags, but never made it out to Japan. I’ve seen so many of them faithfully serve and love their mission here in Port Angeles, and in the Tacoma mission. I mentioned William Bringhurst. He was sent to Las Vegas to build a fort and make a safe place for the saints to stop and rest who were traveling back and forth to California from Utah. Things didn’t go the way he expected. They built the fort. He’s credited with founding Las Vegas. But eventually, the fort was abandoned and he moved back to Utah. It didn’t quite work out the way that he had hoped. I don’t know if it was a disappointment to Brigham Young who had called him there, but I don’t think that God is disappointed in us. We just need to keep trying. Joseph Smith I’m sure had different wants than to be cast in prison at Liberty Jail. But because of those trials we get some beautiful scripture. Doctrine and Covenants Section 122:7 And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good.
8 The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?
Life will have its ups and downs and God will make it for our good.
Well, that’s about it for today’s show.
