on my mind

For the last three weeks I have been at home and trying my hardest to stay positive. I love my family so much. They do some questionable stuff but they are good people. I have been reading almost everyday and praying for strength. It's hard not having the same support you have in a place where there are a lot more LDS members. I have a purpose here and I will do whatever the Lord wants me to do. My little sister is meeting with the missionaries tomorrow morning. I am so excited for her to be taught the lessons. She is ten years old. Although this is really young I can totally see the light in her. I know that the Lord has inspired her to be taught. She has been the one to ask about baptism. I am so excited for her. Times are hard and you need the spirt to get through life. I see what not having the help of the Holy ghost does to you, and I never want to be there again. When you love somebody you want them to be happy. I want nothing more for my mom and brothers and sisters to be happy. I want them to have the complete gospel. The plan of happiness is all about family and I refuse to be the only one from my family to be blessed. People don't understand how much pain it brings to my heart to see what goes on in the world. If only people knew how the savior will help you bare your burdens. I see unhappiness and dispair everyday. I am so happy that I have the completeness of the gospel. It brings me hope. I know that my Heavenly Father and Savior love me. I am so grateful for the atonement. Without it I would not be the person I am today. I know that God lives. I know that Jesus Christ is my savior. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. We need to get out there and bring the plan of happiness to everyone. They have the right to reject it but we need to give them a choice. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
