If you'd like to stick around, let me share a quick story.

 

This story is from an especially difficult time on my mission. At that time, I had a lot of difficult things happening in my life. I was struggling to find success in my area, I felt an inadequacy in teaching abilities as compared to my current companion, and at home I faced a lot of uncertainty. One night, in a dusty humid loft, I finished my nightly prayer. My plea was that, soon, I would see any sort of progress — anywhere.

 

I collapsed in bed and closed my eyes. And when I opened them, I found myself facing the Savior.

​

Here was my excerpt from that late night journal entry:

​

“I don’t remember much else from that dream, other than the fact that I standing, or sitting, face to face with the Savior. The circumstance or surroundings of the interaction could have been anything, but I don't remember. All my focus was on Him. Upon looking at His face, I felt a well of every vivid and intense emotion imaginable come over me. I remember feeling warm tears gushing out of my eyes; feeling light, empty, but happy, deeply moved by His sacrifice for me, deeply ashamed of my imperfections, but warmly comforted.

 

All of those emotions then washed over me, and suddenly, I felt completely filled with joy. Genuine, pure joy. I lost all my strength, fell forward to Him and held Him as tightly as I could.”

​

While I have you here, I just want to remind you: you truly are a child of God. He loves you more than you can imagine. And He truly sent His Son out of the purest love that's ever, and will ever, exist.​

​

Turn to Him. You will never regret it.
