Week 81

Elmer's birthday celebration! 

Well this week has been a tough one! not many people were found, but hey thats the work!  some days are hard and some times we have a great time and success!! I love the words of Helaman in his epistle to Moroni in Alma 58:33-35

33 But behold, we trust in our God who has given us victory over those lands, insomuch that we have obtained those cities and those lands, which were our own.

 34 Now we do not know the cause that the government does not grant us more strength; neither do those men who came up unto us know why we have not received greater strength.

35 Behold, we do not know but what ye are unsuccessful, and ye have drawn away the forces into that quarter of the land; if so, we do not desire to murmur.

37 But, behold, it mattereth not—we trust God will deliver us, notwithstanding the weakness of our armies, yea, and deliver us out of the hands of our enemies.

Helaman didn't know why he wasn't receiving the backup and supplies that he had asked for before! he was worried how he would do his job, but the thing that catches my eye is how his desire was not to murmur, or in other words they will not complain, as he later on says, " we trust God will deliver us." in our daily lives we are hit with alot of hard challanges and we wonder what is going wrong or what did I do wrong!  but i know that if we trust in God and we do not murmur, He will deliver us out of our problems in HIS own time! i know that this is true, and i hope that all of us can learn to trust in Him during the hardships so that one day we can say, 

40 But behold, they have received many wounds; nevertheless they stand fast in that liberty wherewith God has made them free; and they are strict to remember the Lord their God from day to day; yea, they do observe to keep his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments continually; and their faith is strong in the prophecies concerning that which is to come.

Its hard but it is possible. We just gotta trust in Him and He will deliver us up!  

And the rains finally came!!! And did they come... Oh man!!?

Flooding everywhere!
