On February 20th, 2 desks that were being stored on top of a cabinet at school, fell on my head. It caused a concussion and severe headaches which have taken over my life. This concussion has caused so much pain, mentally and physically. I had to have vision therapy and physical therapy for the problems in my eyes and neck the desks caused. Then on top of all of that, Covid-19. Everything shut down about a month after and so everything that was keeping me sane like friends and church was gone. Its not easy. It never is. But I have felt my savior beside me every step of the way.

While texting with a friend she replied, " I know that you can get through these headaches even though it might be hard and heavenly father and jesus are walking with you."

Another thought that comes to mind is a thing my old stake president shared at my 2nd year of girls camp. He said, "you are given these trials because you are strong enough to get through them."

I know this to be true. As much hardship and pain i have and am going through I know with 100% certainty that my heavenly father loves me and is challenging me, so that I can be like him, in his image and be able to return to live with him again. Amen.

Hang in there. I love you all, i'm always here if you need me! -Paris

I just like this verse because it says if you trust in God he can make weak things become strong. So the things you are most struggling with can become things you are really good at.

I hope you know how much all of us leaders love you, and miss you! We pray for each and everyone of you and hope you and your families are doing well.

As I was contemplating what message to share with you this week, a video the church made a few years ago kept coming to my mind. It is attached and I hope you all can watch it.

Am I good enough? I know this is a thought that has come across my mind more than a few times, as a youth and as an adult. We can often find ourselves judging our worth by comparing ourselves to others, but as Elder J. Devn Cornish of the Seventy said, “that is just torturing ourselves needlessly”. Instead of comparing and competing with others, we should aim to compete with ourselves. We should try each day to be a little bit better than the we were, if we are giving an honest effort that is all that matters. An honest effort will be different for each and everyone of us- it might be spending a few more minutes in the scriptures, really getting on our knees and saying that sincere prayer next time, sacrificing that extra hour of sleep to go to the temple (when the are open again 😊 ) or taking that extra minute to follow a prompting. The only opinion we should care about is our Heavenly Father’s, he knows us, he loves us, and knows when we are “really trying.”

With repentance, His grace and His mercy, the answer to the question Am I Good Enough? Will always be Yes, I Am Enough!

Love,

Sister Evans

Hello wonderful Young Women! On behalf of all the leaders, let me tell you how much we love you and miss you! We pray for you and hope you are making the best of this unique situation we are in.

This morning, I remembered a simple verse from Paul’s epistle to the Philippians in the New Testament. Philippians 4:13 reads, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” To me, this verse means that with the help of Jesus Christ we can do anything he asks of us. We can not only have the strength to endure trials, but we can have the strength to choose goodness over evil. We can do all things: choose the good, reject the bad, and endure the difficult. Paul knew what he was talking about—he had faced many difficult trials during his life, including being beaten and imprisoned for teaching the truth. He was even in prison when he wrote these words. This principle was true for him, and it is true for us: we can do all things through our Savior if we just turn to him during good times and bad.

He loves each of you—no matter what, and is there for you to strengthen and help you. Have faith in him, and everything will work out for your good.

Love, Sister Jolley

Well it is here... General Conference! Are you ready? One way we can prepare for General Conference and make it a personal spiritual experience is to come prepared with questions for your Heavenly Father. In Amos 3:7 we learn that God makes his secrets known through prophets. We invite you to watch this video and think, "What do I want to know from Heavenly Father?"
