Wow it has been a long time seance I have written a blog but that't OK its time to do better the last few months has been crazy for me lots of transfers and lots of patience and lots of faith in the lord I was able to reed the book of Mormon in 4 weeks and I learned a lot in that few weeks the thing that stuck out to me the most is that the lord loves us so much and that he wants us to come and be with him again but it is our choice to listen to his commandments. All our heavenly father wants (is to bring to pas the immortality and eternal life of man.)  No mater what we do we can come to our heavenly father with a broken heart and a contrite spirit and ask him for help, and he will help us with though's steps of repentance  that is what he sent his sun her to earth for right? He came here to help us return to him! There are a few steps to returning to live with our father in heaven the first one would be baptism for the remission of sins and if you have already been baptized it is renewing your covenant with the lord etch Sunday! I have a testimony that the lord is there to help us make, and keep those covenants every day its not easy but it is worth it! Just so you know all the hard things you go through Christ has gone through them as well so don't get discharged! what is that old saying? "if at first you don't succeed try try again". It is my faith and my testimony that we will succeed with the help of our lord Jesus Christ so keep trying every day OK, have faith and pray often the lord loves you, and wants to here from you so go out and remember that it is our father in heaven that wants you to be with him again!
