The blessings of the gospel

I realize now more than ever the great blessings of the gospel. I can see so many things that the gospel teaches us and helps us with. And one of the greatest blessings is helping us raise the next generation. Our children here have been such a light to those around them. If any difference we have made theirs is really the one that is evident. I have watched them dance with the Ugandians and try to learn their national anthem interact with adults ,children and peers. People continue to fall in love with them and marvel at their goodness. In a world where teens tend to be self centered they reach out and try to make everyone feel loved. They have truly been a light to those around them. I love watching Cariel tenderly watch over a girl who lives up from us and reach out to our neighbors children. Liza is an amazing Young Woman advisor and it is fun to watch her stand up in Young Woman and teach them about personal progress, Mckay watched a boy is age cry in church because he did not want to go back to boarding school because he is beaten everyday. Mckay said that he would pray for him that his burdens might be lightened. Hannah loves to be in nursery with me and is so great with the young children. I am so grateful for the teaching of the gospel and the programs that the church has to help parents raise a generation that will be a light unto the world.
