I finished reading Saints volume 2, and it had a LOT about opening the missions of the South Pacific in the mid-1800s. One takeaway is that the Lord had specific people in mind to introduce the gospel to the Pacific, and He even used them multiple times throughout their lives. I know the Lord loves all of his children and He has a plan for gathering them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timothy’s grandfathers served missions on isles of the sea, in Samoa and Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I keep a list of scriptures about the promises to the isles of the sea, as I continue to pray that missionaries can return to areas that are currently closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In an acceptable time I have heard thee O isles of the sea…and helped thee, and I will preserve thee, and give thee my servant for a covenant of the people.” (1 Nephi 21:8, Isaiah 49:8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Great are the promises of the Lord unto them who are upon the isles of the sea.” (2 Nephi 10:21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea, and will bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth.” (2 Nephi 29:7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
