Trial of Faith

Today I get to teach Relief Society, which I love. I was asked to teach about Elder Andersen's conference talk "Trial of Your Faith". Check it out here As part of the lesson I'm sharing this Mormon Message I love this story and have reflected on my trials as I listened to it. This past year has definitely been a hum-dinger for trials for me. My faith and trust in the Lord has been stretched and pulled in so many ways. I can't say this is a trial that I've been able to look back and say, "I understand why it had to happen that way!", but I do know that because of it, I've come to truly appreciate the peaceful, bliss-filled moments. And I've learned how I can create them if they are absent. I'm so grateful for the peace the Gospel brings. On a side note, I've decided to move grades next year. I'll be teaching first grade at Edison next year (same school I'm at now). Seeing how my goal is to eventually teach teachers, this will give me a better understanding of how to coach teachers of all grade levels. It will be hard, but I know I'm going to grow so much! Thanks for your love and support!
