 There was a point in my life where I was living away from home. I was in New England. I was actually serving a mission for the earliest church. And it was really hard. And the people I was with weren't really nice to me. And life got really brutal. And even when I was to the point where when I was praying, they would mock me and they would be like, oh, he's praying again. And I was just praying and asking God for help to get through the day. And after going through this for over a month, it was so hard. And I just remember there was one day where I was so angry with them. Why are you treating me like this? Why is all this going on? And they told me I didn't have a testimony. They told me. And that hurt because to be told, I don't know who Jesus Christ is. It is something that is it's hard to hear someone tell you that because that's the center of who I am. I believe in Jesus Christ and everything I try to do is to follow him. And I remember I went into the room, I locked the door and I knelt down and just started praying. And I was like, I'm so angry with them right now. So mad and they're hurting me and they're doing all these things. And I remember opening up the scriptures. And the first thing I saw was the word repentance. I'm like, no, no, no, I'm supposed to find the word forgiveness. I'm supposed to find the strength in the scriptures to forgive them of what they've done to me. And as I started to think, I realized that I had played a role in the situation and that I had come to what was right. And I remember reading these verses and it brought peace to my soul. It says, Oh, my son, I desire that you should deny the justice of God no more. Do not endeavor to excuse yourself in the least point of your sins by denying the justice of God. But do let the justice of God and his mercy and his long suffering a false way in your heart and let it bring you down to the dust and humility. And at that point, I realized that's what had happened. And I continue to read and it says, And now my son, you are called of God to preach the word unto his people. And now my son, go thy way, declare the word with truth and soberness that thou may spring souls into repentance that the great plan of mercy may have claim upon them and may God grant unto you, even according to the words of the man. I remember getting off my knees and we went to the room where we were going to go to the commence. And I told them, I was sorry for the part I had played in it. And they had confessed and they said they were sorry for the part they had played in it. And for that moment on, we were able to be friends, not just be friends. We were able to do what I last first said and we were able to share the gospel of people and to see people come unto Christ and to see them, to believe in him, to see the power of his life, his grace and repentance in their life. It was amazing. And all of it came from, we see an answer from the Book of Mormon that it wasn't that I needed to forgive others, but I need to repent myself. And when things are going bad in our life, you know, we often are told they don't get better, but that doesn't mean they'll get better right away. You know, sometimes you have to wade through a lot of pain and fear and sorrow. But if you can find hope, something to hope for every day, just try to find something to hope for.
