So in young women's today my leader read the 13th article of faith to us, which says "we believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous and in doing good to all men; indeed we may say that we follow that admonition of paul- we believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things an hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely or of good report or praise worthy we seek after these things." Even though this scripture was the church 2011 youth theme, I never REALLY thought about it. Or at least I never thought about it in this way! I realized that every thing that is explained in it, is really what our whole church comes down to. We believe in being good people and being the best we can be. We hope for all things and have gone through some hard times but we know that things will be better, and so we keep trying. We believe that anything good, beautiful, and virtuous is something that we should seek after.
This article of faith basically describes why the people of my church are such happy people. It's because we have hope and seek after good things. Earlier this week my boss and some co workers of mine were talking to me about my church. Something that really stuck with me was that my boss was talking about the south park episode that is about mormons and the whole time it is ripping on the mormon faith but at the very end the mormon guy says something to the other guy like, you can keep making fun of my beliefs but you know what? Im happy. And you and your friends are miserable.. And my boss said how happy I always am and that it stands out to him. And it's completely true! We are always happy, even in the hard times, because we know that there will be better times. And that just makes me so grateful to have this church in my life:)
