This was Austin's most difficult week so far. We could sense in his email how hard the adversary has been working on him. Yet there was no indication of anything but a continuing determination to serve God's children. Sometimes it is our deepest struggles that create the greatest opportunities for growth. We can sense Austin's growth even in these few short weeks. As he talked about what a struggle this week has been, Austin shared the following:
"Last night I read something that has made me do everything I can to change my attitude. . . In Preach My Gospel it says that 'the attitude you have toward your mission experience is a reflection of your love toward your Heavenly Father and His Son and your respect for the priesthood.' I know I love the Lord and His Son with all my heart. . . The only way to get through this life is through the grace of the Savior, Jesus Christ. So I will do everything in my power to show my love by having the best attitude toward my mission as possible."
Keep that focus, Elder. The adversary is no match for you AND your Savior.
