Hey everyone! How are you doing this week? I wanted to share
a little bit about how Heavenly Father is always reaching out to you and
looking to bless you and help you with all that is going on in your lives. We
were able to do a fireside this last week with one of the wards and it was a
great experience to share experiences and thoughts about how Heavenly Father
always loves each one of His children perfectly and will help them as they put
their trust in Him. I shared an experience there that I had in Uruguay and I
feel like sharing it again so here it is. :) In my last area in Uruguay we met a man who was a less
active member. We stayed to talk with him and help him out and one of the
things that stood out to me was that he had a GIANT beehive under the front
roof. Every time we asked him about why he didn't get rid of it and he just
said, "I will later on." He knew it was getting to the point where it
was really dangerous but he still didn't want to do anything about it, even
though all it would take to fix it was one call to the firefighters to remove
it. I wanted to relate that to the atonement. Sometimes we feel like it's not
possible to get rid of a problem or bad decision or weakness we have (like the
beehive) but I testify that the Savior is always reaching out to you and that
it is possible to be healed and to have our lives made as if there never was a
beehive. All we have to do is take His hand and rely on Him. I promise that no
matter how hard it seems or how many concerns you may have, it is always worth
it to turn to Him and our lives are so much better after we trust in Him. Thank
you so much for your love and support and efforts to draw closer to God. I know
that every step matters! Take care and know that you are loved! :)
