Instruments

Yesterday was Stake Conference and Mom and Dad were on their way back home from Phoenix so they stayed in Provo Saturday to Sunday. Michelle went to Luke's ordination, so Mom and Dad went with me to Stake conference. Before the conference, however, I was invited along with some of the other leaders in our stake to a luncheon with Elder Quentin L. Cook. I was a little apprehensive to attend, mostly because our stake president asked us to think of some questions to ask. I didn't feel like I had much to contribute in that particular setting. I'm grateful for that experience looking back. I learned a lot. The past couple of weeks have been somewhat difficult and the things that have gotten me through are the advice and council of inspired priesthood holders and a father who is worthy to give me a blessing when needed. How grateful I am for a loving Heavenly Father who teaches us through these amazing men who are worthy to bless our lives and teach us. Having said that, I am also grateful for the women in my life. More specifically, an earthly mother, who calls me twice a day, knowing that her daughter is struggling. She cries with me and comforts me in a way no one else can. The Lord surely knows each one of us because he gives us people who will help us along the way.
