I've been thinking about this concept from the lectures on faith recently:

"Let us here observe, that three things are necessary, in order that any rational and intelligent being may exercise faith in God unto life and salvation.
"First, The idea that he actually exists.
"Secondly, A correct idea of his character, perfections and attributes.
"Thirdly, An actual knowledge that the course of life which he is pursuing, is according to his will."

To ask for blessings through prayer and receive them from God faith is required. 

For Elder Osborne to ask a blessing from God he must have faith.

I want to find a new investigator that will learn with us. First, I need to know that God exists. Second, I need a correct idea of his character. I need to know that He is just, merciful, loving, kind, caring. Third, this is the big one, I need to know that the course of my life is according to His will. I need to know that I'm doing what He wants me to be doing. Am I keeping his commandments? Did I put in the full effort in comp study this morning? Language study? Did I get out of the house on time? If not, my faith is less because I do not have the knowledge that the course of my life is according to his will. I do not have the faith, the power, to pull down the blessings of heaven through my prayers. Because I don't believe, have the faith, that God will give me what I ask for.

If I have faith and ask, I will find a new investigator, every single time. Actually, that's on the condition that it is God's will for me to find a new investigator, but it usually is because these people are ready.

Moral of the story: Be obedient, ask for new investigators, profit.

Man's best friend

New adventures ahead. New companion next week. He doesn't speak English. I'm stoked.

I love Cambodia. I love the Lord.

Love,
