Dear Elder Lutze,
I hope all is well and that you and your companion had a great last week together!
Life here has been busy ~ recovering from probably COVID, yard work, work, and YW. Dad and I went to the temple on Friday and did an endowment session. It was so cool to have about 50 missionaries from the MTC with us in our session! We watched Twister with the girls last night. We’re going to see the new one on Tuesday this week.
Keep working hard for the next 6 weeks. No regrets!
I love Elder Holland. This is from his 2013 General Conference talk “Like a Broken Vessel”
“So how do you best respond when mental or emotional challenges (any challenge) confront you or those you love? Above all, never lose faith in your Father in Heaven, who loves you more than you can comprehend. As President Monson said to the Relief Society sisters so movingly last Saturday evening: “That love never changes. … It is there for you when you are sad or happy, discouraged or hopeful. God’s love is there for you whether or not you feel you deserve [it]. It is simply always there.” Never, ever doubt that, and never harden your heart. Faithfully pursue the time-tested devotional practices that bring the Spirit of the Lord into your life. Seek the counsel of those who hold keys for your spiritual well-being. Ask for and cherish priesthood blessings. Take the sacrament every week, and hold fast to the perfecting promises of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Believe in miracles. I have seen so many of them come when every other indication would say that hope was lost. Hope is never lost. If those miracles do not come soon or fully or seemingly at all, remember the Savior’s own anguished example: if the bitter cup does not pass, drink it and be strong, trusting in happier days ahead.”
I love this!
Mom
