Week 47 -- It's Been a Hard Little Bit

Buongiorno a tutti! 

So sorry I am the worst at writing emails. I probably won't be better in the future. I have way too many other things I need to repent for first. 

This week we had interviews with President and then zone conference. It was really good, and all of my boxes were broken. And as is probably common knowledge by now, it's been a hard little bit. And all my weaknesses were called out once again. Obviously I have a lot of lessons to learn and they are not the lessons that I want to learn right now. But I know they are the lessons God wants me to learn. I had a really rough last night. I don't think I've ever cried as hard as I did. I was honestly just on my knees pleading for help and forgiveness. But the incredible thing about the gospel is that I know I will receive that help. And I know I will be forgiven.

Obviously after that I wasn't really able to sleep that well, and I was thinking about the things and actions I can take to change, to improve my situation, and to feel better. And Ether 12.27 came into my head. 

"27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them." 

I'm grateful for my Savior and the opportunity I have to learn and the promise that I have that my weaknesses will be made into strengths. 

Love you all!!! Xoxoxox
