"Don't walk out of the grove"

It has been a kind of tough week. Every appointment fell through. One person replied to the question ¨Will you follow the example of Jesus Christ¨ with ¨No, I would like to but I don’t want to.¨ What? It was hard to see that happen. I was so sad for her, but we just went and kept working. One morning I was with Elder Morley, because our companions were in a leadership meeting and I just gave my best on the contacting and talking to everybody. Elder Morley is awesome and obedient and we contacted 40 people before lunch and taught a lesson. YES! Sadly all of the return appts were not there. Wooflebeans. I anticipate excitedly the good that always follows the rough. One brother in the MTC, Brother Palmer, taught about the Joseph Smith vision, and how Satan went for him, but he stayed in the grove and had the most amazing experience ever. Bro. Palmer always said, ¨Don’t walk out of the grove¨. With that, I’m looking forward to the good that should be just around the corner. I’ll just keep working and trusting that all is in Heavenly Father’s hands. What comfort that brings to me. So comforting. There’s just nothing in the gospel that can make us sad. This entire gospel just makes us happy. It’s as simple as that.
