Letter Home - Week 16

Hello!
 
Love you guys! Thanks for the emails and pictures! Dad to answer your question I don't do interviews for the branch but I do do the interviews for baptism. This week was hard for me but in the end turned into a beautiful one. I just felt really down. I was beating myself up for things that I later realized were out of my control. I was looking at all the negative and it made it really hard. I was looking at all the areas where I wasn't doing well and putting unnecessary stress on myself to improve all at once instead of taking things one thing at a time and like it says in the scriptures how we learn and grow line upon line and precept upon precept. We also need a plan for improvement or else we have no hope. I'm so grateful for our Heavenly Father's plan for us and how this Gospel gives us the hope we need. To get over my troubles I turned to our only source of hope. I turned to my Heavenly Father. I turned to the Gospel. It is our ray of hope in a dark world. Through Jesus Christ we have access to the power of the Atonement. Through him we can change. I focused on what I could do instead of what I couldn't. I prayed. I read in my scriptures. I read conference talks. I found answers to help me along and as I applied my faith to apply the gospel into my everyday life I started to feel a joy. I started to feel happy. I saw things in a different light. I felt better about myself. I was able to escape my head and my negative thoughts. My week finished off awesome! It was beautiful. The Gospel is true. I know it is. It fills my life with joy. I love you guys so much. Have a great week!
 
Love,
Elder King
