Moving to Arbon?









I have been stressing over moving to Arbon. I'm having a lot of second thoughts about moving there. I feel like I have finaly ajusted to Provo, I finally made friends, and we have worked so hard to build up our house finishing the basement, decorating, etc, and I have an unheard of teaching dream job, and I have so many things I am looking forward to fixing up our yard, Farmers Market, Witches Night Out, etc. We live across the street from the mountains and basically a private hike, yet enjoy the conveniences of the city. I am really starting to enjoy the city life. It is so nice to be 4 minutes from the gym, and grocery store. We have the best of both worlds living here.



So I was stressing over moving to Arbon. I have been praying for guidance and felt spiritually impressed when reading my scriptures. I felt like the circumstances of Ammon and King Lamoni were similar to us and moving to Arbon.



Alma 27:7-14


7 And Ammon said: I will go and inquire of the Lord, and if he say unto us, go down unto our brethren, will ye go?


8 And the king said unto him: Yea, if the Lord saith unto us go, we will go down unto our brethren, and we will be their slaves until we repair unto them the many murders and sins which we have committed against them.


9 But Ammon said unto him: It is against the law of our brethren, which was established by my father, that there should be any aslaves among them; therefore let us go down and rely upon the mercies of our brethren.


10 But the king said unto him: Inquire of the Lord, and if he saith unto us go, we will go; otherwise we will perish in the land.









11 And it came to pass that Ammon went and inquired of the Lord, and the Lord said unto him:


12 Get this people aout of this land, that they perish not; for Satan has great hold on the hearts of the Amalekites, who do stir up the Lamanites to anger against their brethren to slay them; therefore get thee out of this land; and blessed are this people in this generation, for I will bpreserve them.


13 And now it came to pass that Ammon went and told the king all the words which the Lord had said unto him.


14 And they gathered together all their people, yea, all the people of the Lord, and did gather together all their flocks and herds, and departed out of the land, and came into the wilderness which divided the land of Nephi from the land of Zarahemla, and came over near the borders of the land.





  • I truly desire to honor Jacob as head of the house. If he fasts and sincerely prays and feels inspired that we should move to Arbon. I will support him in this and we will move. (Of course, I will fast and pray too.)



  • Moving to Arbon will be a major life changing event. It is important we give it the attention it deserves as well as, include our Heavenly Father with such a big decision.
