I once listened to a 17-year-old girl on a distant Tahitian island who was a seventh-generation member. Today almost 25 percent of Polynesians, in the Polynesian Islands, are members of the Church. 7 Many Polynesians already believed in eternal families and accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. It commenced in 1844 when Addison Pratt arrived in what is now French Polynesia. Perhaps less well known is the ongoing missionary effort to the Polynesian Islands. I admire the Filipino people they have a deep and abiding love for the Savior. Amazingly, there are over 850,000 members of the Church today in the Philippine Islands. At that time there was only one Filipino Melchizedek Priesthood holder. Hinckley visited and initiated full-time missionary efforts in the Philippine Islands. By 1851, over half the members of the Church were baptized converts living in the British Isles. This was one year after Joseph Smith’s dedication of the Kirtland Temple, where Moses committed “the keys of the gathering of Israel from the four parts of the earth, and the leading of the ten tribes from the land of the north.” 5 The early success in the British Isles is legendary. Missionaries first arrived in the British Isles in 1837. I first served as a young missionary to the British Isles, second as a new General Authority in the Philippine Islands, and then as Area President in the Pacific Islands, which includes many Polynesian islands.Īll three of these areas have successfully gathered believers to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I love that the very first verse in the Doctrine and Covenants includes the people who are on “the islands of the sea.” I have had three specific calls to serve and live on the islands of the sea. 3 In the Lord’s preface to the Doctrine and Covenants, He declares, “Hearken ye people from afar and ye that are upon the islands of the sea, listen together.” 4 Moreover, we desire for all of God’s children to come unto Him and receive the eternal blessings He offers through His gospel. This doctrine accords with those who deeply desire for people of diverse economic and racial status to experience better lives. The divinely inspired doctrine that we are all brothers and sisters and “all are alike unto God” underlies this great work of gathering. Father’s plan is based on righteousness, keeping His commandments, and receiving sacred ordinances and honoring the covenants we make. Our Heavenly Father’s plan for safely gathering His children to our heavenly home is not based on worldly success, economic status, education, race, or gender. 1 The Father of our spirits desires His children to be safely gathered home. Nelson, our beloved prophet, has profoundly emphasized that our unique responsibility is to help gather scattered Israel and prepare the world for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. It says it applies healing.President Russell M. Would be helpful to know to recreate that scenario in the future if needed. A- Rain Blood automatically rains holy blood somehow after getting access to Bless? B- The blood being in contact with my blessed character turned it holy? C- My blessed person bled some blessed blood and that ended up touching the rest of the blood from Rain Blood and made it all Blessed? One to create a dome, and one where I blessed an ally. I have only used two Source abilities so far in this fight. I'm not sure what combination created it as I did not use Bless on it after it appeared. Well, I was in a battle and I used Rain Blood and the blood pool it created said it was Blessed Blood and I have a couple questions about that. So I've left Fort Joy so I have access to Source and Bless at this point.
