Blessings in Relief Society!

It's been amazing how things have worked out recently. I have been super nervous about ideas we have came up with for Relief Society and how everything will work out. But it has been amazing how they have all came together.  A couple weeks ago we decided to have a lesson on Worth and Visiting Teaching. I was really nervous on how it was going to go. In Sacrament meeting, my wonderful Visiting Teaching Coordinator did her talk on Visiting Teaching and did an amazing job. Then in Sunday School, our Sunday School President gave an amazing lesson on the Worth of Souls and living our happily ever after. It was so good! I was amazed that without even planning to coordinate, that everything went so perfectly together. After Sunday School I just wanted to get up say Amen and let everyone go home. It was an answer to my prayers that everything went well. I am so grateful for the spirit and how well things fell into place.
Another neat experience is this week we combined our lesson with the boys and had a huge temple lesson. This month, we decided to have a Temple month where a different member of our ward to go to the temple every day for the whole month of October. I explained how it would go and then passed out a calendar for people to sign up. We then had three mini lessons. The first one was on personal revelation, the second was on how going to the temple blesses others and the last was on making the temple a habit. At the beginning of the last mini lesson, the kid wrote up college and the temple on the board. He told us to shout out feelings we felt at the temple. They were words like peace, comfort, love, etc. Then he told us to shout out words about college, bored, overwhelmed, stressed were some of the words that were said. He said these are both words that should be a priority. He went on to talk about that as we attend the temple those feelings of being overwhelmed and stressed will be able to counteract with those feelings we have at the temple. I thought it was an amazing way to look at it. I was so impressed with all our speakers and the spirit they brought. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to serve right now. It has been a huge blessing and testimony builder in my life. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for all of us and that as we listen to the spirit and act upon those promptings that things will work out. I am so grateful for the gospel and for the knowledge that I have!
