"How we deal with
the things we experience is up to us, it’s our decision not to become bitter,
it makes all difference in our ability to heal, it’s not so much of what
happens to us but how we deal with what happens to us"- It’s so important
that we never feel like the lord has forsaken us. We go through hard
times in life to become something even better. Life obviously isn’t easy but it
can be if you rely on your savior. “Surely he has borne our grief and carried
our sorrows". The lord has given us the opportunity to be happy and to
rely on him. Why not use it, why not use his help? I know that as we rely on
the lord things will be less heavy on our shoulders.
This week has been a
great on. We have been teaching a teenage young man and we met with him yesterday.
His parents are converts to the church and they are preparing to get sealed in
the temple. He isn’t a member yet but as we have met with him he tells us that
he really does want a family for eternity and it’s so powerful how the lord
works on his children’s hearts. He really has the desire to be baptized and I
know that what elder Holland said is true you don’t need to know it’s alright
if you just believe. I know that to be true I remember the day when the
missionaries asked me to be baptized and all I said was sure, I never knew
that a simple yes or a nod would change my life forever and the life
of my family. I know this church to be true.
This week we were able
to provide a lot of service for others and it was such a neat thing to do. We
met a women that lives in a small trailer we noticed she didn’t have electricity
or running water or a bathroom, but she seems so happy with what she has. We
all sometimes feel like we need and want things that are just materialistic and
we need to remember that when we pass on to the next life that we are not going
to take our cars or home but only our knowledge, I hope and pray that all of
our knowledge is centered on Jesus Christ. I know that the lord has not
forgotten this women that he helps her each and every day and he is on her
right and on her left and he loves her so very much
