Catch Up

Guys, I've been not very consistent at this lately - the trouble is that now I teach a lesson each week, so I feel like I get all my thoughts out there already.

Today I just wanted to express my gratitude for the people in my ward and the Spirit not giving up on me, guiding me in what questions to ask.

See, this week's lesson was really hard for me to know what to say, it was the martyrdom of Joseph Smith. So, I started to doubt that I could have a good lesson about this, but as I was diligent in asking for help - I found good questions. And the people in my ward really thought about them, and answered from their hearts and brought the Spirit even more into the lesson. So, it was great.

Of course, the rest of church is always really good. Today was really meaningful because going into it, I didn't know what I was going to say for this lesson, and every step of the way I was prompted to speak, or to ask, or to just listen to my friends share and teach all of us. It was great.

Endure with Patience

In good times and in bad we are shaping our character, but it is up to us to make decisions in faith and move forward with our lives and service to others.
