Amongst the chaos we shall have peace

Well....this week has been interesting, full of a different kind of excitement. I will do my very best to try to explain everything the best that I can.

1st off...zone is still normal and still boring. We're pressing forward, and trying to help each other out through this trying time and this final month of our missions.

2nd off, we're all trying to do our best to not be too stressed with the 

situation. We know that the Lord is with us and that we are being protected of the Lord, it's just a different kind of afraid with all these things that are going on around us. But we can truly find happiness, peace, and Joy as we turn our hearts to God and allow Him to heal us. I'm not perfect at it either, and this is a work in progress for everyone. We won't be able to get there in a day, it takes consistent effort on our part to get there. 

3rd, we have a huge curfew put in place by the city of Salt Lake City telling us that we need to be inside by 8:00 p.m. which does kind of put a dent on things, but we're doing our best to make due. 

Amongst all that, we're still doing our best to do our work to the best of our ability

Spiritual Thought: So this morning, 1 Nephi 20:17-18 really spoke out to me: 

17 And thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; I have sent him, the Lord thy God who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way thou shouldst go, hath done it.

18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandment—then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.

This scripture was super powerful to me! So, I love how it tells us the blessings of keeping the commandments. As we keep the commandments, follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and keep pressing forward, we shall have continual peace wash over us through these times and as we continue forward in righteousness, we shall prevail and as the words of a popular hymn read "I'll never, no never, no never forsake." We will always have his spirit to be with us and we will find that this too shall pass and that the Lord will always be with those who serve him. I know these things to be true in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

I hope that all of you will have a Fabtabulous week! 

I love all of you and y'all are great!!!

Stay Fabtabulous, Carry on!
