Ive been thinking about trials people have in their lives. this is what i came up with. , we are so blessed to have the gospel in our lives to make times that may be hard easier. jack r. christensen talks about it and it totally makes sense the way he puts it. he says in the parable of the wise man and the foolish man that the rain falls on both of them. but its because of the rock, or Christ, that we are able to bear those hard rainstorms or in her case, hurricanes. i just wish some people would accept the gospel more. i wish the ones that know about it would stop being so rebellious and lazy and do their best. because then they complain that life is hard or something happens and they get angry about it or get depressed or something and im just like "does it really matter"? theres a scripture in Alma when Helaman is talking to captain Moroni and he is talking in an epistle and how he doest have any men from Zerahemla and he doesn't know why. he says that they might be going to Moroni or they might be wicked in Zerahemla so they're not getting them but then he says "it mattereth not". that nailed me so bad because sometimes we have a death in the family or sometimes we have someone who is not doing what they should be or you have other things that are just bothering you and then you take a step back and say "it mattereth not" and then everything that DOES matter becomes more apparent and then you focus more on that. just some revelation ive received in the past couple of days. dont worry, every little thing gonna be alright :) . well family thank you for all the wondeful support that you are giving me and thank you mom for updating me on the babies and everything else. i hope you all have a wonderful week. talk to you next monday Love Elder Levi Bowen Heward
