August Presidency message

“Trust in God and believe in good things to come”
The home page on our computer is LDS.org. I’ve noticed that there are some in-teresting looking messages that rotate each time I log in. I’ve avoided taking the time to watch any of them because I always feel rushed and besides watching them will only make me cry. Well, today I sat down to the computer, the house was very quiet, meaning everyone was really taking a nap all at the same time. I decide, tears or no tears, I was going to watch some of those little videos.
The one that touched me the most was by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. He told how he and his little family, many years ago, started out on a trip from the southern part of Utah to the East coast where he would be attending school. The old car they were travel-ing in broke down and he had to walk for help, twice. Years later he drove past that very spot on the road and remembered the experience and all the emotion that went with it. Looking back to that time he wanted to tell that young man what life had taught him.
The things he would have said are timely for us in our lives. He said, “Don’t you quit. There is help and happiness ahead. Everyone has times when they need to know things will get better. Some blessings come soon, some blessings come late, and some blessings don’t come till heaven. Trust in God and believe in good things to come.” Our Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to succeed. Some times in life we too have “break downs” along the road. Remember these few words of Elder Holland’s and trust in God. Love, Olivia Anderson
