The Elder's Ward

Well... This week has been awesome!!! It really has. We've found 12 new investigators in the past week and a half, and taught some of the most amazing lessons. We've been teaching a family who is so excited to hear about the Book of Mormon. I taught a part-member family on an exchange with my District leader who just yesterday accepted a date to be baptized. Another couple that me and my companion taught are also getting baptized into an English ward. There have been so many amazing stories and experiences, and they keep coming. And yet.... I would be lying if I told you that I haven't had my bad days out here.
Sure, there is struggles in everyday life: Traffic, stress, not enough hours in the day, school, friends, family, work, or whatever.
But the thing about life is that it has a funny way of throwing us Curve-balls. We never know what's going to happen in a year, in a month, next week, tomorrow, or even at 6 o'clock tonight. And we all have days where we feel like there's a storm raging; or like we're walking in darkness, and can't see our way out. We hit the end of the fuse. Life can't burn you anymore, because if you go any further, you'll explode, and who knows what will be the damage.

 Abide with me; 'tis eventide.

The day is past and gone;

The shadows of the evening fall;

The night is coming on.

Within my heart a welcome guest,

Within my home abide.

O Savior, stay this night with me;

Behold, 'tis eventide.

O Savior, stay this night with me;

Behold, 'tis eventide.

(Abide with me, 'Tis Eventide, Hymns #165)

  

Pain comes. Trials come. Heartache comes. It does. But there is someone to stand beside us, even to carry us through it all. You can't see him, but he's there. Because its all been done before.

So, Savior, please, stay this night with us.
