Great week this week, especially conference! that was the highlight of my week! I loved getting to hear all of the different focuses at this time. The focus of our divinity as sons and daughters of God, to the focus of our individual roles in the family, to following the promptings of the holy ghost, to overcoming opposition and trials and making good choices.
One of my favorite talks was by Elder Jeffery R. Holland. He talked about how each one of us has those incredible moments in our lives, when we feel like everything is going perfectly, heavenly, you could say. But then comes the opposition, like always. How do we deal with it? how do we handle the struggles of life that come our way? This is the purpose of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Trials play a divine role in our lives, helping us to become better as we continue to learn from our own experience. For those times that we just simply feel that the trial is too much, that we can no longer handle our circumstances, that is when faith comes in. The Savior is there to help us with whatever trial comes our way. He is there, He is always there. Have faith and know that your trials will go away, it is brighter on the other side, and that it is all part of God's plan for you.
As for here in california, everything is going great! I love where I am at and what I am doing. It is awesome to get to see the Lord's blessings in my life and the lives of others as we choose to follow His commandments.
Hope you all have a great week!
Elder Roberts
