37 aSearch these bcommandments, for they are true and cfaithful, and the prophecies and dpromises which are in them shall all be fulfilled.
38 What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, myaword shall not pass away, but shall all be bfulfilled, whether by mine own cvoice or by the dvoice of my eservants, it is the fsame.
we can understand from this scripture that even know this life is rough and we have trials we have the hope and faith for the next world when all this hardship will not exist and we will live in a better world of happiness and i know that is true i have a story that i want to share with yall before i end today. one of the little times that i have cried in the streets of mexico....
so we were walking to the church to go to a mettering with the leaders and there is a man. walking very carefully with his stick. i see that he is blind and i see that maybe he wanted to enter the store i wasnt sure because it looking like he was preparing to step up and well. we just passed his we said aw he is going to the store the people are going to be with him. he stood in front of this tiny step for like a minute really struggling and i said hey lets go man we gotta help him we we got to him and i put my arm aound him and said hey are you goin to enter the store he says no no no i am going to sit down and rest.... he is a old man hahah like 65 or more ok its old but he struggles walking. so i said hey the step is really tiny there a better one like 2 yards from where your at and its in the shade where you and feel better. he said really!! alright hwere we going and like does a 180 haha and i said no ever hear grabbed ahold of him and sat him down on the ledge. and we started chatting i asked him when he lost his site and he told me like 20 years ago. i could aslo note that he was homeless...... homeless family a man of 65 or more blind cant walk good is homeless. i asked his whewre he sleeps and he says ohhh right here or over there where ever i feel good haha.he to shorten the story we found out some time after he had lost his site that he couldnt watch out for his mom and she came into his house and stole it and kicked him out and now he has no where to go and there is no way he can work or progress because well he is blind and old theres not much he can do obviosly.so i started to pray and ask my heavenly father wha we could do. my comp started sharing the gospel with im and i was praying just thinking about this mans life and i started to cry. this man is stranded in a world all alone with no one at his side physically to guide him and give hime some place to stay. but we did assure him that his heavenly father loves him and one day he will see again and will be happy.... the point of this is to understand that we are so lucky to have the luxory that we have. the lord has blessed us imensly i mean look we just got a deal where we will finally have our own house again. also we have cars work iphones ipads. we are confortable. even though we arent perfect we are good, and even though we are also struggling to stay afloat we are happy and have our family to be next to us forever in this life and the next to go with us in our trials and to bring us out. to be by our side. and this man simply has heavenly father and his hope and faith that one day he will be healed and happy. please take note of why you are all so lucky to be here and have what you have even though it may seem little it is actually something great and you have alot after you start counting your blessings. thank you family for supporting me in my desicions and guiding me in my livfe to give me the chance to be here in mexico to help my other brothers and siters find there way back to the heavens and holding on the the iron rod. i know that the church is truew and i know that heavenly father is blessing everyone of you in your lives and i know its because your doing something right, thank you for being faithful to heavly father and watching out for others and thank you for being an active family and blessing. i love you all.
