Study

Sometimes the best way to study a topic is to have others study it with you.

I came to know this on my mission, and once again was reminded of it recently. There have been a few topics of doctrines and principles that I have been meaning to study more and more about, and at times I have studied them more in depth. But there are times when I feel like I can't get any more revelation on the topic. There are questions that I just don't have answered.

When this would happen on my mission I would often ask my companion for their opinion. If she didn't have answers I would go to my leaders and my mission president. I would have already looked up these topics online on LDS.org but wasn't satisfied. More often then not, my companion or leaders would get back to me on the topic and would answer it in an inspired way.

I understand that this isn't always the case. There are times when the answers do not come even after much pondering, fasting, praying, and going to the temple. I understand that there are times when our leaders give us answers that don't satisfy the questions that we have posed. I understand that you may feel like you have exhausted all your resources to get an answer and will still be just as confused, if not more, than you were before.

This is when we wait with patience for the Lord to reveal to us the mysteries later.

D&C 25:4- Murmur not because of the things which thou hast not seen, for they are withheld from thee and from the world, which is wisdom in me in a time to come.

There are my two cents for this week. It's a little weak, but there you go.

here's a link to a talk that isn't really related, but can be in some ways...
