Where we are, the people we are with, and the choices we are making—we are at this point in our lives, for a reason. We need to learn from our mistakes, develop a relationship with our Heavenly Father, feast upon the scriptures, and be in tuned with the spirit. When we do these things we will be on the right path and we will be blessed. This weekend, I had the opportunity to attend stake conference, and I was surprised how much I learned. Our "decisions determine [our] destiny."(President Monson). In our world today, the adversary seems to be everywhere; however, we shouldn't be discouraged, In Isaiah 41:10 it reads,"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Going with this scripture, in stake conference, something that was reiterated was, “Don’t be discouraged, God will bless you in the end." To me this means, Don’t give up hope. We are strong enough to withstand Satan and his temptations.
Heavenly Father chose us to be on Earth, at this time. He saved us for the last days. We are the hope of the world. Therefore, we all have a mission...Whether it’s serving the Lord for 18-24 months, or being a good example by living and sharing the gospel. Heavenly Father loves all his children and he wants all of them to come back home. To sum everything up: we need to have faith and to not give up on the fight between good vs. evil. And our example is powerful and can be a light for others. So when you feel like losing hope, DON'T. Because not only are you saving yourself, but ultimately, you are saving others.
