As I Have Loved You Love One Another

This past week I have learned quite a bit about the importance of not looking at people as they are now but as they may become. This has been something hard for me to learn. Especially because of the circumstances of the area I am in. I know that the ward that I am in has potential to change. Its going to take alot of work but its possible.
I have been trying to pay more attention to the promptings of the spirit as well. This week I felt like I have been listening to a little bit of Heaven as I have tried to pay more attention to the Spirit. I love reading the scriptures and listening to the what I am about to be taught.

This past week we have also been watching some Mormon messages as well. It's incredible how much the church is using technology. I actually really love that they are using it this much. My favorite video I saw was called Origin. Its about a girl who is seeking the truth. She quotes a lot of JS history, and its really cool. I feel a lot of people are confused today just as Joseph Smith was. With all these religions which one is right. Just like him we need to pray to know of the truthfullness.

I know this Church is true. I know this work is right. And I know that Joseph Smith saw God the Father and Jesus Christ.
