Carriers of Light

Well, I am loving it over here. So many interesting experiences... :)

While I have been here, my biggest challenge has been seeing how these families are just stuck. They don't have much, and they are stuck living the way that they are and it breaks my heart. The only way that I know how to help is by sharing the Gospel. Because I know that, although it won't change their challenges, it will help them to understand that these challenges are all part of the Plan. This last week I was really struggling, asking God how it could possibly be fair that these people have to live like this. As I was watching the sun go down on Thursday, I received my answer, clear as day... Heavenly Father loves us. We are His children and He wants us to return to live with Him again. By coming to Earth, He knew we would forget who we are, and some of us would deny his existence. I can't even imagine how that would make Him feel, but He still allows us the ability to choose -- to lead our lives. Agency is all part of the plan> Heavenly Father allows us to have specific challenges that are designed to bring us to Him. To understand our relationship with Him. And maybe, just maybe these people's challenges are the only way that they could find Him. (hoping that makes sense). Basically... His plan is perfect. There are no mistakes, and we are never alone. I am so grateful that we know this Plan. That we know our purpose in this life, and we can share it with others. So many are out there walking in darkness with NO IDEA of who they are, and who they have the potential to become. We have that light that they need to light the way. We have the obligation to share it. To be sharers, not just carriers, of that light :)

Share it!!
