Lossing a loved one.

Lately this week I have met alot of people who have lost loved ones. About a month ago I lost my grandma. It was expected but is never easy. A very great man shared with me a scripure in the bible. 1 Corinthians 15: 19. " If in this life only we have Hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable." The hope Christ brings to our life is not just for the here and now, but is forever. The hope that we will see them again is the greatest blessing we can have in our life. A great talk given by an apostle of Jesus Christ, in the April 1992 General Conferance, intitled "Doors of Death" here is the link. http://lds.org/general-conference/1992/04/doors-of-death?lang=eng&query=death  . Christ gave us everything so that we can have hope for here and now and the here after.

How to get insight into anything in life.

1 Nephi 15: 11. This is Nephi a Book of mormon prophet talking to his brothers when they did not understand the things of the Lord.

"Do ye not remember the things which the Lord hath said?—If ye will not harden your hearts, and ask me in faith, believing that ye shall receive, with diligence in keeping my commandments, surely these things shall be made known unto you."
These four little steps will always guide us through life. :)
If you hve any questions or want more insight go to http://www.mormon.org/

Though these steps seem small we know that God can never brake a promise he makes. We can know anything that is in God's will if we do these small steps. :)

How to recieve more guidance from God?

Before I left on my mission the starter in my truck went out. I was thinking are you joking me? But I learned a very good lesson. 
I did not know how to change a starter. I asked my dad, I look in the Internet, I ask my neighbor. No one that was available know how to change it. I spent a full day trying to change it. Every time I got to a point what I had no clue what to do I would say a little prayer. And a new Idea would come into my head. I would try it and then i would get close and and then an other new idea would come into my mind. Ideas of if there was a tool that looked like this then I could get it. I would go over and ask my neighbor if there was one and there was. Then Ideas of asking my dad for help would come into my mind. This happened over the course of 24 hours. Finally I god it out! I was so amazed. It was until my dad took me by the side and asked what I had learned form this. I told him That it is hard to change a starter.
He said look at what you did. You would try something see that it would get you closer and then ask for help and then act on the advise you would receive. That is how it is with God. We must be able to act on the impressions we receive. When we do so we show our willingness to God. He then will bless us with more insight to help us through our trials.
 In revelation given to Joseph Smith the Lord said this,Doctrine and Covenants 84:85 "Neither take ye thought beforehand what ye shall say; but treasure up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be given you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man." 
The Lord can not with hold his promises from us if we do as he has asked us to do.
