beefche Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I'm going to take a guess and say that this falls under the "It mattereth not unto me" portion of God's life. If He calls you to Missouri, just get there--who cares how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsMagnolia Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 This thread reminds me of a scripture in Alma 37: 6-7 6 Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise. 7 And the Lord God doth work by means to bring about his great and eternal purposes; and by very small means the Lord doth confound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls. It is through the small things that we become more Christlike and have the mighty change of heart. The small things matter so much because it is through those small actions that we show our Father in Heaven our level of commitment.Just my thoughts, Mags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayanna Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 None of ya'll read my post, did ya?Okay, well, we have been given instructions on where to go when the time comes...In Conference"Preparation for the Second Coming"Dallin H. OaksII.Another sign of the times is the gathering of the faithful (see D&C 133:4). In the early years of this last dispensation, a gathering to Zion involved various locations in the United States: to Kirtland, to Missouri, to Nauvoo, and to the tops of the mountains. Always these were gatherings to prospective temples. With the creation of stakes and the construction of temples in most nations with sizeable populations of the faithful, the current commandment is not to gather to one place but to gather in stakes in our own homelands. There the faithful can enjoy the full blessings of eternity in a house of the Lord. There, in their own homelands, they can obey the Lord’s command to enlarge the borders of His people and strengthen her stakes (see D&C 101:21; D&C 133:9, 14). In this way, the stakes of Zion are “for a defense, and for a refuge from the storm, and from wrath when it shall be poured out without mixture upon the whole earth” (D&C 115:6).
