Spirit answered

Kinda like the current bush. Then we were in a lesson with a man named martin and he asked "why is it when we try to do better and be good people, it just seems to get more difficult and harder?" He asked the very question that I wondered! and then as the Spirit answered him through me, both of us learned the answer to the question. God knows that we can be more, He loves us and wants us to be stronger. We gain more strength as we climb over stumbling blocks. We need to be patient and keep moving forward. I love the quote in the story. "  If I let you go the way you want to go, you will never amount to anything." God loves me, He put me through these things and still asks me to be patient so that one day I'll look back and say " Thank you, Mr. Gardener, for cutting me down, for loving me enough to hurt me." I love this Gospel and I love you mom. We just contacted this 9 year old girl and I asked her who God was for her. she said "Her King, and Father" I was prompted to say "well.....if He is a King, and you are his daughter then that makes you a princess!!" I don't think she had ever really thought of that before. I love this work, and I love the Spirit. The Holy Ghost takes care of Allllll the weaknesses in lessons, and then helps me grow. I love you mom, thanks for everything!
