2. pray for an angelic experience; be an instrument in gods hands; speak with the tongue of angels. (2 Ne 32:2-3)
"My beloved brothers and sisters,
I testify of angels,
both the heavenly and the mortal kind.
In doing so I am testifying that
God never leaves us alone,
never leaves us unaided in the challenges that we face.
“[N]or will he, so long as time shall last,
or the earth shall stand,
or there shall be one man [or woman or child]
upon the face thereof to be saved.”
On occasions, global or personal,
we may feel we are
distanced from God, shut out from heaven, lost,
alone in dark and dreary places.
Often enough that distress can be of our own making, but
even then the Father of us all is watching and assisting.
And always there are those angels
who come and go all around us,
seen and unseen,
known and unknown,
mortal and immortal."

I really like your "post-institute" posts. Thanks again for coming. I think we have the best institute class in the whole entire world!
you know, in my BOM class, brother marsh talked about this.
In 2Ne 32:2-3 it says, "Do ye not remember that I said unto you that after ye had received the Holy Ghost ye could speak with the tongue of angels? ...Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ.."
so he was telling us how when we speak with the spirit, and we say the things that God would have us say, WE are being God's angels. i thought that was very profound. =)
thanks amy. :) and I AGREE! :D
