Letter to my missionaries:
"I
had an "ah ha" today in sacrament meeting. I was thinking about
life's struggles and difficulties and trials and for a second I had a clear
picture that when we get to the other side we will be extremely grateful for
them as we would be very disappointed to have gone through life on easy street
without having had these experiences which are the purpose for our coming to earth. We
would feel cheated if we went through life without them. I think of the D&C scripture that
tells us to be thankful in all things. I wonder if we truly thanked the
Lord for our difficulties and weaknesses and for what they teach us, if we
would be taught some unique things"
"I
am praying and hoping that you will have contacts to teach who will be blessed
by the message. Put it in the Lord's hands. It is his work.
If you think of his striving with mankind through all the generations and
how many thousands of years he has been working with his children you realize
he has great patience. Even when he was here on the earth in person it
was a struggle to get people to see the light. It has never been easy but
his hand is stretched out still and you are a part of that stretched out hand
extending the offer again and again. "
19 And he who receiveth all things with thankfulnessshall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more. (Doctrine and Covenants Sec. 78)
