Crazy Week

Hey family and friends!!

This week has been so crazy!

Just to sum it up:

Come unto Christ, ye heaven laden. I promise this is the only true rest you will ever find. It's not found in alcohol, drugs, money, material things. None of those things last. If you want lasting rest and peace, turn to Christ. Find rest to your souls there. 

This week has been a trial of faith. Luckily that's what I was studying, haha. It seemed like one thing after another happened.... It's ok though. Trials have this way of bringing to your knees, and thus bringing you closer to your Heavenly Father, if you let it. I'm learning that when things go wrong, Satan really tries to work on you to get frustrated and take that frustration out the ones you love. Don't let him. It never, ever, EVER helps. 

I've seen families in pieces, lives in danger (spiritual and temporal), people I care about brought to their knees in hopelessness. But there is always a way out, and up out of the darkness. Like I said earlier: Come unto Christ. Why is that so hard for us sometimes? Satan just makes us doubt His ability to rescue us? I don't know. I do know that the answers are in the Book of Mormon and on your knees in prayer. 

This weekend was hard. But Sister Jenkins pointed out last night, as it says in Battle Hymn of the Republic, "Our God still marches on". No matter what you are facing right now, remember God still, and always will, march on. Stay on His side, and don't give up. 

I love you all so much! Have a super great!

PS: Repentance is real, and it is a very good thing. Satan tries to scare us away from it, but there is no feeling like being clean. Allow Jesus Christ's Atonement to work in your life. He already suffered for your pain and your sorrows. Why allow it to "wrack [your] soul with torment" any longer?
