Moroni 1 Surprises


Moroni is surprised to be alive at this point.  And to my surprise, he wants to write a few things to help the Lamanites in some future day.  These are the people that killed his parents and family members!  Moroni is full of charity—the pure love of Christ.  He has seen Christ and talked to him face to face in plain humility.  Regarding surprises in life: there will be many.  I never thought I’d be a social worker or a teacher.  I thought I’d like to be a professional baseball player or forest ranger.  I never pictured myself on a mission to the Navajos.  I thought I’d go to Japan or even Hawaii!  I never imagined living in Las Vegas, or Tucson, or Laramie, and especially not anywhere near BYU!  But here we are.  Surprises are spicy.  Surprises are gut-wrenching.  Surprises are sweet.  They are sour.  Surprises make life interesting.
