The gospel requires you to do.
Act.
Become.
A couple weeks ago, I was having a rough time. I was really pretty depressed. I missed my family, was so done talking to people who didn't want to talk to me, and frankly wanted to go home. It seemed that no matter how hard I prayed or tried to have more charity or tried to have a positive attitude, nothing was getting better. No matter how hard I tried to increase my faith, faith just didn't seem to be enough.
Until I realized something.
I had been so caught up in the fact that I didn't want to talk to people that I really hadn't for a while. I wasn't doing what God had called me on a mission to do.
After getting a blessing of comfort, I knew I had to take action. (There it is again.)
I started trying to be more obedient to the mission rules every day, and I started trying to talk to people even when it was awkward.
You know what happened?
I felt the Spirit.
I felt more strength come from God.
And I was happy.
Y'all...
Do!
Act!
Become!
When you actually follow the instructions the Lord gives you, that's when the blessings come.
I know it. I have no doubts about it. You can know it too.
Love y'all!
