It's Never Too Late


Day 14-16: (Alma 11 - Alma 31) In these 3 days of reading something has really stuck with me. It's never too late. 
So if you don't know who these 2 guys are, their names are Laman and Lemuel and I've talked about them before. (I don't think they actually look like this, but this is one that I just found on google...) They were the sons of Lehi who left Jerusalem. They really struggled following their father and the commandments of God. No matter what, it seemed like they just could not get the hang of the do-the-right-thing-always thing. So, eventually, they left their family behind and took their wives and children and became the notorious Lamanites. They were the cause of a TON of sorrow and bloodshed. But, after years and years of them killing every Nephite (or person of God) that they came in contact with, they started to slowly realize that the traditions of their fathers were wicked and that they really needed to repent and start doing the right things. So they did! The story of the Lamanites and their journey of coming back to the gospel is really cool to me because it shows that it's never too late. Even if you've committed a lot of sin, Heavenly Father will still forgive you and you will still be able to live with Him again because Christ already atoned for your sins. Doesn't that make you so happy? It makes me happy!! :)
