The Lord Knows

We visited L who is a less active man this week and it was a little sad to see someone that knows the doctrine as well as he does and say that it is better to be on Satan's side because he will give you money. But I still think that he is someone that could potentially come back. He wants some big calling and thinks that will change something, but he has to change first and then the Lord will bless him. It usually does not work out that way. 

Then we visited K who is a less active man who has some potential to come back. This family have recently had a family member die. We were able to tell him that there is always comfort in Christ. Anything can go bad and we do not know how you feel and never will, but He does. We read to him 3rd Nephi 27:28-29 and told him if he wanted to know why this happened -He can tell you. I think it was really cool that Elders Lunstead and Ebbert told their family that M could not go on a mission during the stake times because of obvious reasons, but they said that she is serving a mission right now for the Lord. I really liked that and believe that it is true. 

This week I am trying to focus on what is important some more. Sometimes it is hard to focus on the work on my area when it is a little slow, but I am just trying to work on that right now. I know that the Lord will bless me as I work harder and rely on Him more for everything. If we are ever going through something hard we can always remember that He knows exactly how we are feeling and sometimes it may not seem like anyone can sympathize with you, but He can.
