Norske Gress Fairy coloring side (Norwegian) Norwegian Grass Fairy coloring page

 English Readers, scroll down for the English language version.

Norwegian Grass Fairy

Norske Gress Fairy

Det er flere arter av duftende gresset i Norge. Det er noen gress i Norge som er brukt som torvtak. Norske Gress Feer er elskere av gress og de tar vare på gresset ute i feltet og gresset på mittoppdrag tak.

Selvfølgelig, norsk Gress Feer, som Rachel her bruker gress på sitt eget tak, men de skjuler sine små hus med en fortielse sjarm, slik at vi mennesker sjelden ser en norsk Fe-huset.

Det er noen velduftende gress som brukes i oppbevare klær og parfyme. Bruk av duftende gresset er fra den Nordlige delen av norsk kultur og regionen. Ved hjelp av velduftende gress er en del av deres tradisjoner i Nord-Norge. Noen velduftende gress er tradisjonelt brukt i folkemedisinen. Den sterkt luktende ingrediens i duften gress som gjør den søte duften er kalt kumarin.

MERK: Denne tegningen er delvis gjort fra en skuespiller av norsk avstamning. Hennes navn er Rachel, så det er navnet på denne Gress Fe. Skuespilleren var på Hallmark Channel-filmen jeg så et par dager siden. Denne tegningen, i utskriftsvennlig form, kan bli funnet ved å klikke på "Fantasy, Myter, og Sirkus" - knappen øverst på siden. Deretter blar du ned til bunnen av listen over tegninger for denne ny tegning.

Norwegian Grass Fairy named Rachel coloring page (English version)

Today's new drawing is a Norwegian Grass Fairy. 

Norwegian Grass Fairy

There are several species of scented grass in Norway.  There are some grasses in Norway that are used as turf roofs.  Norwegian Grass Fairies are lovers of grass and they take care of grass out in the field and the grass on mortal roofs. 

 Of course, Norwegian Grass Fairies, like Rachel here,  use grass on their own roofs, but they conceal their small houses with a concealment charm so we mortals rarely see a Norwegian Fairy house.  

There are some scented grass used in storing clothes and for perfume.  The use of scented grass is from the Northern Norwegian culture and region.  Using scented grasses is a part of their traditions in Northern Norway.  Some scented grasses are used in traditional folk medicine.  The strong-smelling ingredient in scent grass that makes the sweet scent is called coumarin.  

NOTE:  This drawing is partially done from an actress of Norwegian descent.  Her name is Rachel, so that is the name for this Grass Fairy.  The actress was on a Hallmark Channel movie I saw a couple of days ago.  This drawing, in printable form, can be found by clicking on the "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus" button at the top of the page.  Then scroll down to the bottom of the list of drawings for this new drawing.  

Tech Fairy coloring page

 This is a free coloring pages blog.

Today's new post is a Technology Fairy named Falou

Tech Fairy named Falou

You may not know that Fairies have advanced technology.  This is a Tech Fairy named Faloa.  She is working on a new design for a flying belt.  Flying belts, (called Volantum Balteum) are used by most Fairies to fly long distances.  The flying belts also help Fairies fly at high speeds.  All Fairies can fly, just using their wings... but they can only fly at slow speeds and for shorter distances.  

Falou is actually a Volantum Balteum designer and she has designed some of the best flying belts in her region of the world.  She also designed the detector headband that she is wearing.  This helps a Fairy of Light detect a Dark Fairy.  It magnifies the aura that another being has.  So a Fairy of Light would appear brighter to the wearer of the detector.  A Dark Fairy would appear darker. 

Fairies DO have magic, but magic for them is using their mind.  They can actually control their technology with their minds.  The detector headband is called Lux Invenire, which means Light Finder. The Lux Invenire communicates directly to the Fairy's mind so she or he can determine if the Fairy is good or evil.  MOST Faires are good, but a few ARE Dark Faires. 

Falou is a Fairy of Light, so she is designing technology for good Fairies.  She is at a work table and you will also notice that not only is she HOLDING a flying belt, she is also wearing one.

Trinisaura and other Ornithopod Dinosaurs coloring pages

 Welcome to my Free 

Coloring Pages Blog!

Today's new drawing is an

Antarctic dinosaur called Trinisaura. 

Trinisaura an Antarctic Herbivorous Dinosaur

Trinisaura was a small Ornithopod dinosaur from the mid-Cretaceous Period.  It lived in what is now Antarctica. This may surprise you, but Antarctica was a rain forest at the time.  Earth was much warmer back in the Cretaceous.  There were no polar ice caps.  

Trinisaura was a relatively small herbivore, for a dinosaur.  It was an ornithopod.  Later ornithopods included the duck-billed dinosaurs and some of them were 40 feet or about 12 meters long.  Trinisaura was about 5 feet or 1.5 meters long.  

Since winters could get pretty cold, even back then, there is a good possibility that Trinisaura was covered in feathers.  They were almost certainly protofeathers that were for temperature control, not flying.  It is thought that Trinisaura lived between 85 and 71 million years ago.  

NOTE:  This drawing, in printable form, can be found by clicking on the Paleontology button up top.  Then remember to scroll down to the bottom of the list of drawings... for the new drawing.  There are a few more Ornithopod dinosaurs below.  Since they are from older posts they will be further up the list of drawings.

B-1 Lancer and F-15 Eagle Aircraft

Today there were a couple of sonic booms here in Northern Utah.  They rattled our windows.  We found out that it is because military jets are training at a target range about 50 miles from here.  There is a big airbase here in Utah that has lots of fighter aircraft.  It usually takes a fighter aircraft to break the sound barrier.  

So, since we got a reminder about the aircraft from our military flying above us... I decided to draw a couple of military jet aircraft.  Both the B-1 and F-15 are capable of breaking the sound barrier.  Below are a few specifications on these two aircraft.  

This drawing is from the perspective of ABOVE the aircraft so you can see clouds and the ground down below the jets.  The ground is drawn lightly on purpose.  IF you have flown you know that details are blurred from high altitude.  

Rockwell B-1 Lancer is a large bomber aircraft.  

It has a top speed of Mach 2.2 for the B-1 A... and a top speed of Mach 1.25 for the B-1 B. 

The B-1has a range of almost 7500 miles.  

It is 146 feet long. 

This bomber is operated only by the USA. 

The F-15 Eagle is an air superiority fighter.  

The variant called the Strike Eagle is a version that is a fighter-bomber. 

It is 63 feet long.

Maximum speed is Mach 2.5 or 1650 mph. 

It has a combat range of just over 1200 miles.

This fighter or fighter-bomber is operated by several different countries. 

NOTE:  I am adding some drawings of other military aircraft from previous posts.  Just click on the "Vehicles" button and scroll down to the bottom for the new drawing and the other drawings are further up the list.

Trasformazione di Ginevra La Sirena mediterranea (Italian) Transformation of Ginevra the Mediterranian Mermaid

 Transformation of Ginevra the Mediterranian Mermaid translated into Italian

The English version of this post is next. . . just scroll down. 

Ginevra in her natural Mermaid Form

Ginevra nella sua forma naturale di sirena

Ginevra in mortal form with Seagull Friend

 Ginevra in forma mortale con L'amico Gabbiano

Le sirene sono legate alle fate. In effetti, entrambi hanno la capacità magica di trasformarsi in forma mortale. Questa è Ginevra, che vedi nel primo disegno nella sua forma naturale di sirena. Ha nuotato vicino alla riva, si è seduta su una roccia e sta per trasformarsi in forma mortale. Nel secondo disegno, si è trasformata in forma mortale.

Si noterà Il Gabbiano dalla testa nera che è il suo amico. Egli sta volando in, nel primo disegno e lui è in bilico e parlare con lei nel secondo disegno. Ginevra è anche amichevole con il granchio Shore che si vede strisciare sulla roccia in entrambi i disegni. I granchi di Riva sono originari dell'area mediterranea.

I gabbiani dalla testa nera sono un uccello con una gamma molto ampia. Vivono dal nord-est del Nord America lungo la costa... in molte parti d'Europa, compresa L'area Mediterranea, e in tutta L'Asia e nelle parti occidentali del Pacifico meridionale.

Le sirene possono parlare con gli animali, proprio come le fate possono. Sebbene la maggior parte degli animali abbia un'intelligenza limitata, Le Sirene (e le fate) conoscono le lingue degli animali.

Si noterà una pila di mare con una roccia di bilanciamento e un arco di mare in entrambi i disegni. Queste sono caratteristiche erosionali che a volte si formano vicino alla riva in alcune aree costiere.

Quando le sirene (o Tritoni, del resto) si trasformano in forma mortale, fanno magicamente anche alcuni dei loro vestiti naturali. Oppure possono evocare vestiti (come un costume da bagno) che sembrano più vestiti mortali. In questo disegno, Ginevra è in un luogo isolato al largo della costa da qualche parte vicino a Capri Italia. Quindi, poiché c'è una piccola possibilità che vedrà o sarà vista da un mortale, indossa il suo abbigliamento naturale a base di alghe. Se questo fosse vicino a una spiaggia affollata avrebbe evocato un costume da bagno in stile mortale.

Quindi Ginevra è una sirena mediterranea. In realtà, il suo nome significa onda bianca in italiano. . . quindi penso che pubblicherò questo anche in italiano.

Transformation of Ginevra the Mediterranean Mermaid coloring pages

Today's new post

is  TWO new drawings 

showing a Mermaid 

before and after

transforming to 

mortal form.

Ginevra in her natural Mermaid Form

Ginevra in Mortal Form with Seagull Friend

Mermaids are related to Fairies.  In fact, both have the magical ability to change into mortal form.  This is Ginevra, who you see in the first drawing in her natural Mermaid form.  She has swam close to shore, sat on a rock, and is about to change into mortal form.  In the second drawing, she has transformed into Mortal form.  

You will notice the Black-headed Gull who is her friend.  He is flying in, in the first drawing and he is hovering and talking with her in the second drawing.  Ginevra is also friendly with the Shore crab that you see crawling on the rock in both drawings.  Shore crabs are native to the Mediterranean area.  

Black-headed gulls are a bird with a very wide range.  They live from Northeastern North America along the coast... to many parts of Europe, including the Mediterranea area, and across Asia and into western parts of the South Pacific.  

Mermaids can talk with animals, just like Fairies can.  Although most animals have limited intelligence, Mermaids (and Fairies) know the animals' languages.  

You will notice a sea stack with a balancing rock and a sea arch in both drawings.  These are erosional features that sometimes form near the shore in some coastal areas.  

When Mermaids (or Mermen, for that matter) transform into mortal form they also magically make some of their natural clothing.  Or they can conjure up clothing (like a swimsuit) that looks more like mortal clothing.  In this drawing, Ginevra is in an isolated place off the coast somewhere near Capri Italy.  So since there is a small chance that she will see or be seen by a mortal, she is wearing her natural kelp-based clothing.  If there this were near a busy beach she would have conjured up a mortal-style swimsuit. 

So Ginevra is a Mediterranean Mermaid.  In fact, her name means White Wave in Italian. . . so I think I will post this in Italian as well.   

NOTE:  These drawings, in printable form, can be found by clicking on the button labeled . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Fantasy, Myths, and Circus.    Since there are identifiable birds in the drawing I am also posting the drawings under the button labeled . . . . . Birds.

Cryolophosaurus with Feathers

Cryolophosaurus was a Theropod (meat-eating carnivore) of the Early Jurassic Period that lived in Antarctica.  Antarctica was not as far south back then so it was warmer than it is now. In fact, in the early Jurassic Period Antarctica was a temperate climate with vegetation and no deep ice layers or glaciers covered the land.  In fact, the whole Earth was warmer then and there were no polar ice caps.  

However, since it was still the furthest south land on Earth it had long months of no light in the winter and it seems probable that there was snow and cold temperatures during those months.  So, since some scientists think that many if not most later Theropods eventually evolved feathers. . . I thought that perhaps Cryolophosaurus may have had feathers to keep warm in the winters.  Millions of years later Troodons in the Northern latitudes were some of those dinosaur that DID have feathers... in part to keep warm in the cold.  

Cryolophosaurus had a unique crest that was solid bone.  It was a large early Theropod that lived in the Early Jurassic. Cryolophosaurus was around 10 feet tall, 26 feet long, and weighed 1,100 lbs.  In metrics, those measurements are:  9 meters tall, 8 meters long, and weighed or massed at about 500 kg. 

This drawing can be found, in printable form, by clicking on the button labeled "Paleontology."  The below drawing is from a previous post and it is also Cryolophosaurus with no feathers.  I do not know which drawing is more accurate.  Remember that new drawings, like this feathered Cryolophosaurus, are at the bottom of the list.  The un-feathered Cryolophosaurus drawing will be found further up the list.  

Pet Fairies, and other Fairies that love animals coloring pages

 

Today we have one new post of a Pet Fairy.  

There are other older drawings of  Fairies 

who are close to animals. 

Blakalia the Pet Fairy rescues a Yorkie

Blakalia is another young Pet Fairy.  She especially loves dogs.  Here we see her rescuing a Yorkie that wandered away from home and was very close to falling into a river.  Blakalia saw the doggy, named Jack, as she was patrolling in her natural Fairy size of 5 inches tall.  She was flying near the river when she spotted Jacks.  She flew over by him and changed to Mortal size and picked him up.  Then she used a special finding charm that helps her know where the lost pet belongs.  Plus, as you all know, Pet Fairies can talk to and understand animals.  Jack told her that he was lost.  Blakely (because she used the finding charm), knew right where to take him.  Jack's owner was a sweet woman named Surely and she was so happy to have her lost doggy back.  

NOTE: This drawing, in printable form, can be found by clicking on the button labeled "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus.  I will also post it on the "Animals" list.   Below are other Pet Fairies and more Fairies with special relationships with animals.  The below drawings are from previous posts.

Mormon's Lament for his People - Book of Mormon coloring page (Re-posting in English)

  Welcome to my free coloring pages. 

Today's new drawing is from The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ. 

The drawing is of the great prophet general 

Mormon lamenting the destruction of his people. 

Mormon's Lament for his People

In The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ, there is a book called the "Book of Mormon."  It tells of the final destruction of the Nephite nation.  Their last general was a prophet called Mormon.  He had gathered their records of about a thousand years and made an abbreviation that we now know as: The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ.  That recorded included an account of when Jesus Christ visited His people in the Americas after his resurrection.  

Mormon tried to get his people to repent, but most of them had become bloodthirsty and full of hate and practicing the vilest of behaviors.  At one point the Nephites swore vengeance on their enemies, the Lamanites.  At that point, Mormon refused to lead his people in a war of vengeance.  

The Nephites started the war and because of that and their extreme wickedness, they were soon losing the war.  Mormon could not stand idly by and watch and so he repented of his oath and became their military leader once again.  He did his best to lead his people, but their wickedness made it so they wouldn't even obey his orders in battle.  Mormon knew that their destruction was assured. 

The Nephites finally were destroyed in a huge battle in a place called Cumorah.  That area has a Hill called the Hill Cumorah.  After the battle, General Mormon and his son General Moroni were among the few survivors.  They viewed the destruction of their people from the top of the hill and Mormon lamented their loss.  What Morman said is: 

17 O ye fair ones, how could ye have departed from the ways of the Lord! O ye fair ones, how could ye have rejected that Jesus, who stood with open arms to receive you!

18 Behold, if ye had not done this, ye would not have fallen. But behold, ye are fallen, and I mourn your loss.

19 O ye fair sons and daughters, ye fathers and mothers, ye husbands and wives, ye fair ones, how is it that ye could have fallen!

20 But behold, ye are gone, and my sorrows cannot bring your return.

21 And the day soon cometh that your mortal must put on immortality, and these bodies which are now moldering in corruption must soon become incorruptible bodies; and then ye must stand before the judgment-seat of Christ, to be judged according to your works; and if it so be that ye are righteous, then are ye blessed with your fathers who have gone before you.

22 O that ye had repented before this great destruction had come upon you. But behold, ye are gone, and the Father, yea, the Eternal Father of heaven, knoweth your state; and he doeth with you according to his justice and mercy.

Mormon, before he was killed, gave the record he had made of his people to his son, Moroni.  Moroni lived for over 30 years avoiding the Lamanites because the Lamanites of that era would kill anyone who would not deny Christ.  I can't imagine the loneliness Moroni mush have felt.  But he was not idle.  He translated and abridged the record of the Jaredites and that book is called the "Book of Ether."  The Book of Ether is the second to last book in The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ.  Moroni finally grew old and he buried the record, written on gold plates, in the Hill Cumorah around 421 A.D.  

Over 1,800 years later the young prophet Joseph Smith was directed to the gold plates and through the gift and power of God was able to translate the record.  The record was printed in English in Palmyra, New York, USA.  This book has now been translated into around 110 languages.  Portions of the book have been translated into 20 more languages.  

The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ has a very unique promise in it.  It says that if you read the book and ask God that he will tell you whether or not it is true.  I don't know of any other book that says that.  If this intrigues you then look up The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and ask for a visit from the missionaries.  

We Mormons or  Latter-Day Saints or members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints... go on missions.  Or at least some of us do.  My wife and I went on our missions in our youth.  She went to Arizona & Southern Nevada... and I went to New Mexico, Southern Colorado, & West Texas.  My wife's brother and his wife have gone on missions as senior missionaries to California and to England.  Today my nephew reported on his mission in what we called Sacrament Meeting.  He went on his mission to the state of Maine, USA.  

So, missionaries put their life on hold for 18 months to 2 years to serve the Lord... and to serve their fellowmen by teaching them about the Savior Jesus Christ and His atonement for our sins.  Jesus also sends us the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit to comfort us in our times of trial.  I can imagine that the Holy Ghost comforted Mormon as he watched his people live in terrible sin and eventually be destroyed.  And Mormon's son, Moroni was certainly comforted in his long years of loneliness after his family and all his people were killed.  

My own father believed that the admonitions in The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ to take care of the Lamanites in the latter days were real; and so he put his medical practice on hold and he moved his family to Guatemala and started a medical mission.  I went to half of first grade in Santa María Cunén, Guatemala.  

A final note on this topic, my favorite chapter in The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ is in the Book of Moroni... the last part of the book.  It is chapter 7 and it is in the Book of Moroni, but it is Moroni writing what his father had taught the people.  The chapter gave me great comfort when I was in the hospital in Boston, (nearly 2,500 miles from home) and the doctors told me that I was not going to make it.  We believe that God still talks to Man via His Holy Spirit.  My doctor had just told me that I was not going to make it and when he walked out the Holy Ghost told me, "It is OK to go but if you want to stay I will help you but it won't be easy."  I thought of my 13-year-old son and I chose to stay... in mortality.  And that was 15 or 16 years ago.  

There is a verse in Moroni chapter 7 that says, 

    "Wherefore my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased because Christ hath ascended into heaven, and has sat down on the right hand of God to claim of the Father His rights of mercy which he hath upon the children of men?  For he hath answered the ends of the law, and he claimeth all those who have faith in Him; and they who have faith in Him will cleave unto every good thing; wherefore He advocateth the cause of the children of men; and He dwelleth eternally in the heavens.  And because He hath done this, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased?  Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have angels ceased to minister unto the children of men."    

I read and re-read these verses and my miracle happened.  There is no medical reason for me to still be alive, but I have benefitted from the medical miracle that only God could do.  So I know that God will comfort you in YOUR trials because he comforted me and gave me my miracle.  From an eternal perspective, death is just the next part of life.  We need not fear the next life, but we should be willing to stay in mortality until our time is done and we have passed the tests that God gives us.  

ARTIST NOTE:  This clothing and armor in the drawing is based on the possibility that the Nephites and Lamanites lived in what is now Central and Eastern North America.  Hence the obsidian swords and the padded armor.  Of course, there is also some thought that perhaps the events in the Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ took place in what is now Central America and Mexico.  We don't know where exactly it all happened at this point.  But the Hopewell and Mississippian cultures in North America did have metal smelting and were far more advanced than is generally known.  Also, if you have read The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ you know that tens of thousands died at Cumorah, but I couldn't bring myself to draw any more dead bodies.  Did you notice that there is a sunset over the nearby drumlin hill?  The hills in Upstate New York are drumlin hills and so they were formed by glaciers.  The Hill Cumorah is also a drumlin hill.  

By the way, to my English readers:  I posted this in multiple languages so now I am re-post.ing it in English.

Плач мормона про свій народ (Ukrainian) Mormon's Lament for his People

 Плач мормона про свій народ

Mormon's Lament for his People

У Книзі Мормона, Ще одному Завіті Ісуса Христа, є книга під назвою " Книга Мормона.- У ній йдеться про остаточне знищення нефійського народу. Їх останнім генералом був пророк на ім'я мормон. Він зібрав свої записи приблизно за тисячу років і зробив абревіатуру, яку ми тепер знаємо як Книгу Мормона, Ще один заповіт Ісуса Христа. Цей запис включав розповідь про те, як Ісус Христос відвідав цих людей в Америці після Свого воскресіння.

Мормон намагався змусити цих людей покаятися, але більшість з них стали кровожерливими, повними ненависті і практикуючими найогидніші вчинки. У якийсь момент Нефійці поклялися помститися своїм ворогам, Ламанійцям. У той момент мормон відмовився вести свій народ у війну відплати.

Нефійці почали війну, і через це, а також через їх крайню жорстокість, вони незабаром програли війну. Мормон не міг сидіти склавши руки і спостерігати, тому він розкаявся у своїй клятві і знову став їх воєначальником. Він робив все можливе, щоб повести за собою цих людей, але їх злість зробила так, що вони навіть не підкорялися його наказам в бою. Мормон знав, що їх загибель забезпечена.

Зрештою Нефійці були знищені у величезній битві в місці, званому Кумора. У цьому районі є пагорб, який називається Пагорб Кумора. Після битви генерал Мормон і його син генерал Мороній були серед небагатьох, хто вижив. Вони дивилися на загибель свого народу з вершини пагорба, і мормон оплакував їх втрату. Що сказав Морман:

17 О ви, прекрасні, як могли ви ухилитися від шляхів Господніх! О ви, прекрасні, як могли ви відкинути Того Ісуса, Який стояв з розпростертими обіймами, щоб прийняти вас!

18 ось, якби ви не зробили цього, то не впали б. Але ось, ви впали, і я оплакую вашу втрату.

19 О ви, прекрасні сини і дочки, батьки і матері, чоловіки і дружини, прекрасні, як ви могли впасти!

20 але ось, ви пішли, і мої печалі не можуть повернути вас.

21 і скоро настане день, коли ваші смертні повинні зодягнутися в безсмертя, і ці тіла, які нині розкладаються в тлінні, повинні скоро стати нетлінними тілами; і тоді ви повинні постати перед судилищем Христа, щоб бути судимими у ваших справах; і якщо це так, що ви праведні, тоді ви благословенні з вашими батьками, які були до вас.

22 О, якби ви розкаялися перш, ніж це велике руйнування спіткало вас. Але ось, ви пішли, і Отець, так, Вічний Отець Небесний, знає ваш стан; і він чинить з вами по своїй справедливості і милості.

Мормон, перш ніж він був убитий, передав запис, який він зробив про свого народу своєму синові Моронію. Мороній прожив більше 30 років, уникаючи Ламанійців, тому що Ламанійці тієї епохи вбили б будь-кого, хто не зрікся б від Христа. Я не можу собі уявити, яке самотність відчував Мороні Муш. Але він не сидів склавши руки. Він переклав і скоротив літопис Іаедитян, і ця книга називається "книгою ефіру"."Книга Ефіра є передостанньою книгою в Книзі Мормона, Ще одним заповітом Ісуса Христа. Мороній зрештою постарів і поховав запис, написаний на золотих платівках в пагорбі Кумора близько 421 року нашої ери.

Більше 1800 років по тому молодий Пророк Джозеф Сміт був направлений до золотих листів і завдяки дару і силі Божій зміг перевести літопис.

У Книзі Мормона, Ще одному Завіті Ісуса Христа, міститься дуже унікальна обітниця. Там говориться, що якщо ви прочитаєте цю книгу і попросіть Бога, то він скаже вам, правда це чи ні. Я не знаю жодної іншої книги, де б це говорилося. Якщо це вас заінтригувало, то загляньте в Церкву Ісуса Христа Святих Останніх Днів і попросіть про візит місіонерів.

Ми мормони, або святі останніх днів, або члени Церкви Ісуса Христа Святих Останніх Днів... вирушай на завдання. Або, принаймні, деякі з нас. В юності ми з дружиною ходили на місії. Вона вирушила в Арізону і Південну Неваду... а я - в Нью-Мексико, Південний Колорадо і Західний Техас. Брат моєї дружини і його дружина вирушили в якості старших місіонерів до Каліфорнії і Англії. Сьогодні мій племінник відзвітував про свою місію на так званому причетному зібранні. Він відправився на свою місію в штат Мен, США.

Отже, місіонери відклали своє життя на 18 місяців-2 роки, щоб служити Господу... і служити своїм ближнім, навчаючи їх про Спасителя Ісуса Христа і Його Спокуту наших гріхів. Ісус також посилає нам Святого Духа або Святого Духа, щоб втішити нас в наші часи випробувань. Я можу собі уявити, що Святий Дух втішав Мормона, коли він спостерігав, як ці люди живуть в жахливому гріху і в кінцевому підсумку будуть знищені. І син Мормона, Мороній, звичайно, втішився в свої довгі роки самотності після того, як його сім'я і всі ці люди були вбиті.

Мій батько вірив, що вмовляння в Книзі Мормона, Ще одному Завіті Ісуса Христа, про те, щоб піклуватися про Ламанійців в останні дні, були реальними; і тому він призупинив свою медичну практику, перевіз свою сім'ю в Гватемалу і почав медичну місію. Я ходив у половину першого класу в Санта-Марія-Кунен, Гватемала.

Останнє зауваження на цю тему: Моя улюблена глава в Книзі Мормона Ще один заповіт Ісуса Христа знаходиться в книзі Моронія... остання частина книги. Це глава 7, і вона знаходиться в книзі Моронія, але це Мороній пише те, чого його батько навчив народ. Ця глава дала мені велику втіху, коли я лежав у лікарні в Бостоні (майже в 2500 милях від дому), і лікарі сказали мені, що я не збираюся цього робити. Ми віримо, що Бог все ще говорить з людиною через Свого Святого Духа. Мій лікар сказав мені, що я не збирався це зробити і коли він вийшов Святий Дух сказав мені, "це нормально, щоб йти, але якщо ви хочете, щоб залишитися я допоможу тобі, але це буде нелегко."Я думав, що мій 13-річний син і я вирішила залишитися... у смертності. І це було 15 або 16 років тому.

У моронії, глава 7, є вірш, який говорить:,

"Отже, улюблені брати мої, чи припинилися чудеса тому, що Христос вознісся на небо і сів праворуч Бога, щоб вимагати від Отця свого права на милість, яку він має до дітей людських? Бо Він відповів на цілі закону, і він вимагає всіх тих, хто має віру в нього; і ті, хто має віру в нього, будуть приліплятися до всякого блага; а тому він захищає справу дітей людських; і він вічно мешкає на небесах. І тому, що він зробив це, улюблені брати мої, чи припинилися чудеса? Ось, Я кажу вам: Ні; ангели також не перестали служити дітям людським."

Я читав і перечитував ці вірші, і мої чудові служіння відбувалися. Немає ніяких медичних причин для того, щоб я все ще був живий, але я отримав користь від медичних чудодійних послуг, які міг зробити тільки Бог. Тому я знаю, що Бог втішить вас у ваших випробуваннях, тому що він втішив мене і дав мені мої чудові послуги. З точки зору вічності, смерть - це лише наступна частина життя. Нам не потрібно боятися наступного життя, але ми повинні бути готові залишатися в земному житті до тих пір, поки наш час не закінчиться і ми не пройдемо випробування, які дає нам Бог.

Примітка художника: цей одяг і обладунки на малюнку засновані на можливості того, що Нефійці і Ламанійці жили на території сучасної Центральної та Східної Північної Америки. Звідси обсидіанові мечі і м'які обладунки. Звичайно, є також деяка думка, що, можливо, події в Книзі Мормона іншого Завіту Ісуса Христа мали місце в тому, що зараз є Центральною Америкою і Мексикою. Ми не знаємо, де саме все це сталося в цей момент. Але Хоупвелл і міссісіпська культури в Північній Америці дійсно мали виплавку металу і були набагато більш розвинені, ніж це зазвичай відомо. Крім того, якщо ви читали Книгу Мормона, Ще один заповіт Ісуса Христа, ви знаєте, що десятки тисяч померли в Куморі, але я не міг змусити себе намалювати ще більше мертвих тіл. ви помітили, що над сусіднім драмлін-Хіллом видніється Захід? Пагорби в передмісті Нью-Йорка кілька довгастих пагорбів, і таким чином вони були сформовані льодовиками. Пагорб Кумора також є пагорбом драмлін.
