Letter to President Carter

This last week I really focused on praying a lot and I had perfect mornings. I know that the only way to receive blessings is through obedience. And I am striving for that every day. I feel like I am doing everything that I can possibly do. But yet I still feel like I am doing everything wrong. I really have hit a road block. And I am super thankful for Elder Hammer, Elder Hall, Elder Seegmiller, and Elder Olsen. They’re asking what they can do to help us. And honestly I don’t know. I love those Elders so much to care about us that much. As I was reading in the white handbook today I noticed how it said that the success of the companionship lays upon the leaders. But what if we are doing everything possible and things still don’t work out? Should I feel like I failed? Because that’s how I feel with these goals that we are setting. I just feel like I can’t reach them sometimes.

With those thoughts running through my mind. I read out of Doctrine and covenants section 121. When Joseph is in the prison and God says to him.

 

 7- My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;

8 -And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes.

25- For there is a time appointed for every man, according as his works shall be.

And as I read these scriptures I was thinking how maybe I’m not getting baptisms but maybe I’m laying seeds. So in time my baptismal works will come. And I know I really need to endure it well. And be happy and praise thanks unto our Lord for this opportunity to grow.

 

So family so I ran out of time, so i sent you this, this is my letter to President Carter. I love you all.

March 8th is the start of the celebration of women’s month. Happy women’s month!

Love Elder Rackham
