Hello po friends/fam!

[Slacks kinda day]

I just have a really short message that I feel prompted to share today.

In 2 Ne. 5:27 it says, "And it came to pass that we lived after the manner of happiness."

It just hit me this past week that I could say I feel really content. Sometimes it could be hard, it's hard for all of us.. but I know despite it all we shouldn't dwell on the sadness we feel, but instead, we need to accept the circumstances and find the joy in the midst of all the downfalls. I know that here in the mission I've met a lot of people that have all sorts of trials, a lot of which we don't usually experience back home int he States, pero I know that the answer to it all is the same for every single human being, and that is Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ's Atonement gives us the peace and comfort we need to overcome. It can be hard when we feel like only we understand and that no one else knows how we feel, but I know Someone truly does know. And not only does He know HOW we feel but He knows HOW to help us overcome. I love my Savior and I know He loves us all too! In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
