43 Days Until Trek - Christ Taught Us to Love Our Enemies: Kimberly Sang

Christ commands his followers to love their enemies. At times, that commandment can seem impossible. Church history is full of inspiring stories of disciples of Jesus Christ who received strength to do just that. On Trek, it will be essential that we practice the Christian virtues of patience, forgiveness, and love. When your Trek family members start to get on your nerves, think of Kimberly Sang and others who found a way to forgive and, as a result, have God's peace fill their hearts.

Christ Taught Us to Love Our Enemies: Kimberly Sang's Journey

Kimberly Sang survived the Khmer Rouge regime that killed her father and brother. After escaping to Thailand and later moving to Oakland, she embraced the Church in 1981, saying, "I felt clean and ready to help make the world better." While serving her mission in Missouri, Kimberly taught former Khmer Rouge soldiers. "I knew they were my former enemies, but Christ taught us to love our enemies." Through prayer, she learned forgiveness, asking God to "help me let go of the past."

Still, it is comforting to know that we will have medical professionals with us just in case they are needed. And if you have a tooth ache while on Trek, I doubt you'll have your tooth extracted.  Dental Emergencies “Luke Johnson, traveling with the vanguard company in 1847, pulled teeth. William Clayton wrote on April 20, soon after they got on the trail: ‘After Brother Luke Johnson had got through distributing fish, I … asked him to draw my tooth. He willingly agreed. And getting his instruments, I set down in a chair, he lanced the gum, and took his nippers and jerked it out. The whole operation did not take more than one minute.
