The light will come.

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I last wrote something! A lot has changed since then, I'm in a new city with a new companion and I love it. Its so amazing here in Rzeszów. I really have come to love this place already and the people in it. I feel at home and I feel that the Lord has a lot for me to do here and that's something that I honestly struggled to feel while I was in Katowice. 

I've had some really sweet experiences already as I've been here in Rzeszów but one of them was the other week during sacrament meeting. I'm in a group here in Rzeszów, it's not even a branch because there aren't enough members. There's maybe 3 or 4 members and then a family that lives a while out that switch between branches each Sunday. My first Sunday was just my companion and I and then 2 other members. The spirit during the meeting was so strong and as I broke and blessed the sacrament bread, and blessed the water, I was just filled with gratitude and love for my Saviour. I was so grateful to have been able to take part in that ordinance, and to bless it for our humble little group that Sunday. I felt the truth of the promise that when there are 2 or 3 gathered in Christ's name as touching one thing, then He is there in the midst of them. He was there in our midst that day and I was grateful to have blessed the emblems of His body and blood, and renew my covenant to always remember Him and to keep His commandments. I had the opportunity to share my testimony and each time I do I feel that testimony become stronger as the Holy Ghost will always be there to bear witness of the Father and the Son.

One thing I just wanted to add as well is this. When life gets hard, when days seem long, when it seems that the light at the end of the tunnel is never going to appear, Remember Christ. Don't give up, because He never gave up on you. He pressed on to the bitter end, and died of a heart broken. Look to Him and live and press on with whatever faith and hope and love you have.

The light will come.

Speak soon!
