Here's my update. I need to get better at writing in my journal and not
procrastinating my audio update =). Thankfully though this last week
was probably my busiest week yet on my mission. Things are going
great. We were able to have some training in our district this last
week from President and Sister Beesley. We had interviews after that.
I always love those =). I am thankful for the Gospel. I know it is
true. I know now more than ever that things maybe hard at times, but
the Lord always helps us get through it. Here in Alaska where
there aren't too many people and the winters are dark it's easy to
get a little discouraged at times. I have to admit there have been
times when I've have gotten a little discouraged and been pretty
stressed out. Here are some things I've found that help me to get out
on top when things get hard.
- Start pray fervently, with all your heart
- Follow President Uchtdorf's advise to slow down and focus on the basics ex. reading, praying, prioritizing. Just figure out the most important things that need to be done and go from there.
- SMILE!!! haha. It actually works, and laugh too.
- As you can, surround yourself with good examples, and when your alone, the savior has promised to be there for you and you have good example in the scriptures.
- DON'T GIVE UP! The Lord doesn't ever give us anything we can't handle without his help. If you remember, when the Lord wants to humble his people, he sends them into the wilderness.
I am thankful for the opportunities
I've had to grow. It makes me smile to see how fast things are moving
for Lorielle. I remember how crazy busy I was in the MTC. =) I know
the
Book of Mormon is true. I know our Savior lives and loves us. I
know he is mighty
to save. I know that often the Lord answers our prayers through
other people, and that may be why it is so important to serve others.
What a blessing it is to live on the earth at this time where the
Lord is blessing us so abundantly. We have the fullness of the gospel
of Jesus
Christ on the earth today and it blesses my life and fills me
with peace and comfort, so it doesn't matter what happens because
through the savior I can feel peace in any trail. Thanks for all the
support. Have a good week. I can't wait for the amazing Alaskan
summers. =)
Love, Elder Record
