I learned a lot about staying tough and keeping in motion this week. We really have to stay strong, despite what happens in life. One of my companions here decided he'd had enough and went home. It was super sad. I know it can be hard, but we need to always keep going. Enduring to the end is an essential part of God's plan. To go back and live with him, we need to keep pushing. We need to actively push back against trials and problems. We never know what's lying ahead. God has already told us that he will not tempt us above that which we are able. We just can't ever lose hope. The moment that we lose hope, Satan can take control and help us make the wrong decisions. I got really sad this week with my friend, but it's what he wants. I know he'll be fine, and maybe he'll even come back out after realizing what good that the mission can do in our lives. I just hope that no one gives up with what they're doing! Dare to reach for the stars. I know that we have to be dedicated and that we have to work hard to get what we want, and what we want is all that our Heavenly Father has! So everyone, keep moving forward. Never give up. Dare to dream. While you're up to it, help others to reach their dreams as well. We have such great potential! Christ gave us that potential when he suffered and then died for us. I know that He lives and loves us and wants us to succeed. I want everyone to succeed as well! Sending love to everyone!
