Helaman 5:12
Tonight, Karin & I had a quiet supper with the Elders. One of them liked our cooking so well, he took a second helping.
Then we discussed our respective churches – especially, their missionary predilections.
And later, as if to fulfill his duty, one of the Elders read us a verse from The Book of Mormon:
Job did endure a little misery, they answered. But things got better for him. (His woe wasn’t endless.)
Ah, OK.
We’d love to have supper with you again next week, they said.
How about you cook it the next time, I suggested.

And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo [sic?], because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall. [Helaman 5:12]What about Job, I asked. Though he was God-fearing, didn’t the devil drag him down into the gulf of misery, so to speak?
Job did endure a little misery, they answered. But things got better for him. (His woe wasn’t endless.)
Ah, OK.
We’d love to have supper with you again next week, they said.
