"And there was one day in every week that was set apart that they should gather themselves together to teach the people, and to worship the Lord their God, and also, as often as it was in their power, to assemble themselves together.
-Mosiah 18:25
I'm not certain before the Pandemic that I would have been able to understand the joy or the importance of being able to gather together as saints. I try to focus on gratitude, but if I am to be honest about my feelings, I miss the way things were before the Pandemic. I miss sitting right next to my friends without having any worry about whether or not I am being rude. I being with people and not wondering if I should be wearing a mask or not. I miss our small and more intimate Sunday School class. I miss it all!
I am, however, thankful that we can meet together on Sundays as a ward family. I am thankful that we can have in person activities and I am grateful we were able to actually attend a girls camp this summer. I find joy in knowing that we still have the right to come together and worship the Lord and learn together of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
I am truly thankful for my freedom of religion!
