Enter to Learn

This first week back from winter break has been very fulfilling. First of all, my cup over-floweth with blessings from heaven. I am so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We had a fireside tonight at the Marriot Center where we were able to listen to an apostle of the Lord...Dieter F. Uchtdorf. I just love him!!! He spoke about truth, and how Jesus is the way, the light, the life, and the truth. He puts his trust in us, and we must ponder, search, and pray to find truth, which in turn, brings us closer to Christ. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."

That is what searching the scriptures is all about. We find answers and truth when we prayerfully study the scriptures and the words of holy prophets. I know that if I can read and study the word of God daily, and write my reflections down at least weekly, that I will find more joy in my life, and will be able to uplift and serve those around me. I just hope that I can learn as much as possible and maximize my time here at BYU. I do not want to miss opportunities to teach myself and others the wonderful things I learn here at this inspired institution.
