Change of Heart 

The third important principle for us to understand if we would be true members of the Church is that repentance involves not just a change of actions, but a change of heart.

When King Benjamin finished his remarkable address in the land of Zarahemla, the people all cried with one voice that they believed his words. They knew of a surety that his promises of redemption were true, because, said they, “the Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent … has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our hearts, [and note this] that we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually.” (Mosiah 5:2.)

When we have undergone this mighty change, which is brought about only through faith in Jesus Christ and through the operation of the Spirit upon us, it is as though we have become a new person. Thus, the change is likened to a new birth. Thousands of you have experienced this change. You have forsaken lives of sin, sometimes deep and offensive sin, and through applying the blood of Christ in your lives, have become clean. You have no more disposition to return to your old ways. You are in reality a new person. This is what is meant by a change of heart..........President Ezra Taft Benson

We saw a mighty change of heart with our members this week.  They have now accepted Elder Isufaj into the pack!  Last night, Lorin and I sat back and watched birthday wishes being sung, children being hugged, dancing together and a room full of happiness again.  I am so glad!  So so glad! That having no more disposition to return to your old ways leaves a peaceful joyous calm..... Every face tonight radiated light!  ...... So So glad to witness a beautiful and most important portion of the gospel.....
