Last Sunday, my home turned into church, just as well the spirit was so strong I could hardly sing the sacrament song and I choked bearing witness of the tender mercies of the Lord. We actually went 10min over 2 hours. We learned that the sacrament bread at home were bigger.😁 I was humbled when my husband, Scott gave a talk on how the church was first organized, it started with 6 people. Similar to how we gathered in our small living room, just the 5 of us in our family. Last Summer we actually got to visit Peter Whitmer's log house in NY where the church was first organized. It also reminded me of how my family was the very first member of our branch in small town of Damortis, Philippines. I remember being young and we had a small house as our meeting house. Now there is over 16 M members world wide. Much like the virus that is spreading, the gospel of Christ is too. Last Sunday was our first to have church at home and first time for Scott to bless the sacrament at home. Very historic. I am so thankful to have the priesthood in my home and my very own deacon, Elias to pass the sacrament. My daughter, Audrey prayed and was thankful to be at church. My little guy, Adam, who is 7, was our chorister. Our primary was a blast, we learned about blind spots and how the Jews missed the Savior because they were looking beyond the mark. My kids actually asked if we can have church at home again next Sunday, and we are so blessed that we can.
In D&c 1:17 The Lord knew the calamity that is to come to his people so he called Joseph Smith, replaced that with Pres. Nelson. Thankful for direct revelation. This whole come follow me program and home centered church or church centered home, really prepared us for this event. The Lord knows it, the prophet knows it, and I know it!
