Tough Day

Well, the big thing that happened this week was...let's just say this week I had a tough day.

It was Tuesday and for some reason my companions and I were very distracted and upset.  We ended up teaching a lesson that was beyond horrible, and we all just snapped.  We all were practically bawling, and we were done for the day.  Too bad we still had 4 more hours of stuff left along with the branch president being there.  We managed to make it through the day, and we got back to our room.  Here's the important part.  Instead of bottling it all up, and fussing about how horrible and stressed out we were, we sat down together and said a prayer.  We turned to the Lord in our time of need.  We thanked him for all of our blessings, we said we were sorry for disappointing him and for not studying as hard as we could have.  Then we asked for help to make the next day better, and to let us grow from the bad day.  That's not all we did, after we prayed we discussed how we were going to do our part to make the next day better.  That was the key to growing from that experience.  We asked for help, and then did everything we could do to make it better and to be able to have the Lord help us.  Since then we have been on fire, and I know we will continue to work hard and to be obedient.

  1. We got letters from Nate today! He basically says he loves us the most and misses us more than anyone else (of course, we read that between the lines, but it was pretty obvious!)

    We are enjoying the blog, and it helps us to write often.
