Hello everyone!
This last week has been absolutely wonderful! Like so many
that I know, I feel like the Lord has truly spoken to me this week.
Lately I have really been feeling like I haven't been doing
enough. And through much prayer and fasting, I have truly felt the Lord's hand
in my life.
While I have received a ton of small answers and help from
the lord, I actually feel like some of the biggest help I got came when our
stake was visited by 2 general authorities. Here in Helena our stake President
and his wife were apparently called to be a mission president in Sydney
Australia! Anyways, because of this we had to have a new stake presidency
organized. During their visit (Elder Sexton and Elder Klebingat) both
testified strongly of the savior and of his atonement.
At one point during their visit they answered a question
that a young girl asked them a little earlier which was "What do we do
when we feel like we have been going through a trial for a long time?" To
this question they both testified of how truly thanks to our Heavenly Father's
plan and Jesus Christ's Atonement, we have truly nothing to fear.
Also this week I was reading the Book of Mormon. And in 1st
Nephi 7:12 it reads "12 Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the
Lord is able to do all things according to his will, for the children of men,
if it so be that they exercise faith in him? Wherefore, let us be faithful to
him."
Long story short, the lesson for me this week was that I
really need to stop stressing over "am I doing enough?" And instead I need to turn my focus more to building my faith in my Savior Jesus Christ. At
the end of the day, we CAN'T do enough, but as we turn our thoughts and hearts
to the Savior, we will be able to overcome and accomplish all things. I have
truly felt His love this week. I know that I can overcome all things and feel
true joy in and through Him.
I know that I have been absolutely horrid at staying in
contact with a lot of people, but I wanted to add as many of my friends to this
email as I could, so that you can all I know that I love you all and pray for
you all. I hope that you have a wonderful day!
Never give up, Never Surrender!
Also P.s. the pictures are our zone getting together for
