Blessings

For some reason these past few weeks have been really difficult for me emotionally. Obviously it is really hard for me to be depressed because the highest goal in my life is happiness. However, even though I've been struggling, there are so many people that Heavenly Father has put in place for me. Way more people care about me than I feel like I deserve and I'm so thankful that I have them to lean on.

Our Heavenly Father has also given me so many ways of drawing closer and communicating with Him. My patriarchal blessing is one of my greatest helps in times like these when I'm having difficulties. I love being able to read it and know that it is scripture that Heavenly Father gave to me personally. When I read it I know that he not only loves me, but that he truly knows me and the desires of my heart.

Returning to the topic of people I'm thankful for I again am going to mention Morgan Johnson. She took me to her home in Vegas this past weekend and it was so nice to be in a family environment again, even if it wasn't my family. We went to Hoover Dam and the Las Vegas Temple which was beautiful. We also went to the Vegas Strip, it was really cool for me to see the complete contrast of the Strip and the Temple on the same day. I am so thankful for the standards that I am given to live by. I know without them I would be easily lost in this world. The Gospel is such a great light in my life, and I am especially thankful for it when I'm having difficulties finding happiness.
