 Hey guys, I'm Marissa and today I want to share with you my favorite scripture from the Book of Mormon. So my favorite scripture is found in Mosiah chapter 2 verse 41 and I love this scripture. I'm going to read it to you real fast. It says moreover, I would desire that you should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things both temporal and spiritual and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven that thereby they may dwell with God in the state of never-ending happiness. I love this scripture because I think happiness is something that every single person who has ever lived is searching for and right here we have an exact recipe of how to be happy. It's by following the commandments and enduring to the end or holding out faithful or keeping your promises that you have made God. So just to demonstrate a little story that I like about this. So Gordon B. Hinckley in one of his talks, he shared this story. He says, I recall a bishop telling me of a woman who came to get a temple recommend. When asked if she observed the word of wisdom, she said that she occasionally drank a cup of coffee. She said, now Bishop, you're not going to let me let that keep me from going to the temple, are you? To which he replied, sister, surely you will not let a cup of coffee stand between you and the house of the Lord. And so the commandments are something that I think get misinterpreted a lot. Commandments are something that aren't easy, but are the easy things always, but the easy things often aren't always the ones that are worth it. The things that are worth are the hard things, and I really do know that keeping the commandments makes us happy. I've had times where I keep the commandments and when I don't, and I notice a really big difference in my life when I do keep the commandments. I'm so much happier. So I love that scripture because it really teaches me that if I want to be truly happy and if I want the kind of happiness that lasts, I know exactly what I need to do, just to follow the commandments and do what he's asked me. I also like that it says that if we hold out faithful to the end, we'll be received in heaven to dwell in this day of never-ending happiness. And at the end of my life, I'm not going to look back and think about all the things I didn't get or all the restrictions that were on my life. I'm going to think about the things that mattered and the things that I enjoyed and I'm going to be in a better place. I'm going to be looking back and be proud of myself. That's my goal. So I encourage you guys to read this scripture and ponder it and think about it. Do you want to be happy?
