As some of you may know, ever since we got married and moved to Bountiful Bry and I have had some problems with our ward. Well, we started going to a different ward, and we'd hop around to different wards because of people we knew giving a talk in Sacrament, and things. Two months ago I finally met my visiting teachers, every time they tried to schedule before that either I was working, sick, or already had plans. The first time I met with them, I was really nervous as I never had a visiting teacher come over before in my life. When I first met with them they were super nice and they just got to know me.
Well, things in the ward hadn't really gotten better, and we hadn't been to our assigned ward in almost 3 months, we had either slept in and went to a different building, or we had a talk to go to.
A couple weeks ago I hit my year mark of my baptism, and I feel like this year I have not progressed and learned as much as I should have in my first year as a member. We never went to class, we would go to sacrament and then just leave, and with bry working on Sundays mostly, it was easy for me to just sit in sacrament and then come home. I expressed my concern with my visiting teachers on Tuesday when they came over.
Today for the first time in a year I went to releif society and gospel principles. I was so happy, I am so glad that I did it. In relief society I met a lady and her husband is a convert who is not active in the church right now. They were married 2 years ago, and are still not sealed in the temple, she goes to the gospel princple classes so she can teach him more about the gospel at home. I sat next to her in sacrament and she was such a nice lady, it made me so greatful that even though I feel as I haven't progressed much, I am still continuing to attend church every week and take the sacrament.
I am so grateful that we are able to use the tools we have to learn about the church, and I am grateful for the gospel that no matter where you are in life, what trials you're going through, if you're active or not active in the church that the gospel is always there and if you're willing to accept it, it will always be a rock in your life.
