We had a busy week filled with lots of lessons, service, and GENERAL CONFERENCE! :D
Sister Shin and I gave a workshop at our district meeting
about agency, the fall of Adam and Eve, and our life on earth! It went super
great and it really increased my testimony of God's plan for us. Agency is our
ability to choose. We fought for our agency before we came down to earth and it
is one of God's GREATEST gifts to us. No one can take away our ability to
choose. Sister Shin told a really good story that related to Adam and Eve. When
she was younger, her mom told her not to run outside when it was dark because
she could trip and fall. But her mom also told her to always be home on time no
matter what, and if she ever was late there would be consequences. One night,
Sister Shin was going to be late coming home. She had to make curfew, so she
chose to run home and ended up falling and scraping her knee pretty badly. Sister
Shin got home on time, but she tried hiding her scraped knee from her mom. Her
mom noticed her scraped knee right away and kindly and willingly started to
help take care of her knee. Though her mom was proud she had a desire to follow
their curfew rule, she was still disappointed and sad that she hurt herself by
running even when her mom told her not to. This can be related to the fall of
Adam and Eve because just like Sister Shin had two rules (not to run, but to be
home on time) Adam and Eve also had two commandments (to not partake of the
forbidden fruit, but to multiply and replenish the earth). In order for Adam
and Eve to obey one rule they had to fall to be able to have kids. God knew the
fall would be hard and painful and since He is so loving he warned them not to
fall and partake of the fruit. But we all know that they chose to in order for
us to all be here and to be able to feel of that same love God has for us. God
was disappointed and sad that they disobeyed but proud that they were the
parents of all who live today. I am so grateful for Adam and Eve and because of
them, we are all able to come down to earth to be able to obtain a body and to
learn and grow to become like God and to follow the example of Jesus Christ.
Just like Sister Shin's mom helped clean up the mess from when Sister Shin fell,
God helped us by sending His son Jesus Christ after Adam fell. Jesus Christ
heals us from our sins.
Love you all! I hope you were able to watch General Conference! I loved every talk and all the counsel our prophet and apostles gave to us to help us in our life here on earth.
Love, Sister Freeman
