You Won’t Want to Miss These 10 LDS Celeb Posts From This Week

Here’s your weekly roundup of the best social media posts from your favorite LDS figures and celebrities!

My wife, Susan, and I have learned a remarkable revelatory lesson during my years of service in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. As we travel and serve together around the world, Susan records simple notes about the places we visit, the people we meet, and the topics we teach. She has become adept at noticing in various venues the things that are dissimilar in my explanations of the same gospel principles. Susan listens for the statements I have never used before, changes in an explanation, or refinements in the answer to a question. Interestingly, the messages always are the same and always are different. We have learned to treasure the spiritual gems that are revealed through repetition. The distinctive nuggets of inspiration and spiritual knowledge that flow into our minds and hearts as we repeatedly teach and testify of gospel truths are the product of a line upon line and precept upon precept pattern of revelation. Repetition is a vehicle through which the Holy Ghost can enlighten our minds, influence our hearts, and enlarge our understanding.

Elder David A. Bednar shared this touching photo with his wife as he discussed the principle of revelation and repetition.

#BlackHistoryMonth! ?? Though the LDS policy banning blacks from full membership in the faith disturbed him, the Spirit witnessed to Victor that the gospel was true. He often quoted Psalms 84:10, "I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness." ———————————————————-VICTOR and VERNA NUGENT, along with their children are latter-day Pioneers who helped organize #TheChurchOfJesusChristOfLatterdaySaints in Jamaica. The first LDS missionaries arrived in Jamaica in 1853, but it wasn't until 1974 that Victor and Verna Nugent, and their son Peter, became the first Jamaicans on the island to be baptized. Victor, a chemist, was raised in a religious family, but after struggling to be able to "prove" church doctrine he embraced evolution and became agnostic. Victor married and started a family, but while his wife Verna was making a home for him and the children, Victor says, " I frittered away my time, energy, talents and substance in pursuit of sensual pleasure. On the way home one morning, while suffering from a vicious hangover, I finally saw myself as I was. I was so disgusted at what I saw that I prayed for the first time in about eleven years: Oh God, if there is a God, please have mercy on me. Please help." He began to search for truth and was eventually introduced the the LDS church by a co-worker. Verna and Victor were invited to the co-workers home where they were taught about the gospel. Victor says, That everything fit perfectly except the "one fly in the ointment," the church's position on blacks. Though this discovery hurt, he sought the Lord in prayer and the answer was loud and clear that the gospel was the truth.
