Thoughts for Sunday
Babe and I decided to switch to the family ward instead of the married student ward. This was one of the best decisions we have made in a while. We liked our last ward but we LOVE this ward and we have only been 2 times already. Today in Relief Society we were talking about visiting teaching the lesson ended and our relief society president stood up to conclude when she did something that I will never forget. She came over to a girl sitting in front of me had her stand up and said to everyone. "Who is this?" everyone then kind of looked around at each other and a few people knew her name. Then she said "This is Jordan, she is now one of us." She then came to me, had me stand up put her arm around me and asked the same question. "This is Brielle, she is now part of us." She then went to a few other new members in our ward and did the same thing. Never be have I felt so accepted and welcomed into a ward. All growing up I was in the same ward so everyone already knew me but living here I never really got close to any ward members. I know how bad this is but today was the first day that I actually got a testimony of relief society. I am thankful for inspired leaders and for feeling welcome in a new ward. What a blessing that is.
I know that this is an inspired church, we have such amazing leaders. President Monson is called of God and leads this church. I know that Joseph Smith restored this church and that it is the only true church upon the earth today. I know that families are forever and that we will get to see those who have passed on before. I know that temples are houses of God and that when we got to them we will be blessed and feel of his love. I am thankful that Matt holds the priesthood and that he is worthy of that. I am thankful that I can receive a blessing whenever I need one. I know that our Savior has a plan for me and that I just need to have faith in that plan and that everything will work out in the end. I am thankful to be part of this church and for the testimony that I have, thank you for letting me share a part of it with you. I hope you all have a happy Sabbath!

So today while in Sunday School the teacher was talking about not knowing everything on this earth but how we will get the big picture and know all things later. She gave this example that I really liked and connected well with so I thought I would share. Just like in the Little Mermaid when Arial is with all of her treasures and she is combing her hair with a "dingle hopper" which was really a fork. We are just like her in some cases and don't really know the real meaning or purpose of things we might use or think we know. What a cool thought it is to know that one day we will know the meaning of all things. But until then I just encourage you to try to understand the things we already have here on their earth.

"The Lord is in the details of our lives" I challenge you to follow President Monson and look for the blessings you have now in your lives instead of what you don't have. I am going to start doing this myself and take President Ucdorfs advice "it’s not a race; it’s a journey. Enjoy the moment.” and stop trying to be so busy but spend my time more wisely. Copy the link below to view a clip of each of those talks!

Why conference matters. I am so excited to listen to our prophets speak next week. I hope you are all preparing to listen, coming with questions in your hearts. I promise you that if you prepare before time and listen during it you will receive answers to your prayers. What a blessing it is to have living prophets on earth today. I loved this video and hope you do too!

Thoughts for Sunday
While talking with husband today, feeling overwhelmed and stressed about different things going on in our lives he reminded me of this simple message:
"Doubt is the opposite of Faith"
I guess I always knew that but it just hit me hard it reminded me of when Elder Bednar (I believe it was him...) said
"Faith is not just a feeling, It's a decision"
My mom made a plaque for me that says that and I think it is such a good reminder everyday that we have to choose to have faith. So this week instead of being stressed and overwhelmed with life's situations I am going to choose to have faith and pray to our Savior everyday that he can give me patience and understanding I need.
Side note: Today we went to the BYU-I Center with all of the married student wards in Rexburg to rearrange boundaries and get a new stake (which we are in now!). Elder Zwick and Elder Web from the 70 were there, I wished you would of all been there it was such a powerful meeting that I even found myself crying during it without even knowing! It just confirmed that these are men called of God. What a blessing it is to have prophets on the earth today that we get to hear from regularly (Yay for conference in 2 weeks!) It's amazing that they know just what to say to you before you knew you needed to hear it, if that make since. It's just a reminder that you need to be where you are supposed to be always or you might miss out on tender mercies that the Lord has in store for you or is preparing you to have. Well we hope you all had a good Sunday! Remember to choose faith!

I just want to second this and remind us all to slow down a little and enjoy the time we do have together! I'm grateful for Sundays and the chance to do this. Don't let you week be crowed with things that don't really matter, but remember the small things that matter most. Like a simple text that says "I love you!" or a much needed hug, or a phone call from a parent. I am grateful for all of the little things in my life! I am thankful for a hard working husband though I never get to see him I am grateful for the time that we can share together! I am thankful for Sundays, that they are a break from the world.
