I recently attended BYU Education Week. It's hard for me to articulate the feelings and thoughts of the week because it was so amazing. Have you ever felt "dull" spiritually? Well, I was "dull" and didn't know it. After 13 hour days for a week my spiritual senses were sharpened again. I felt "pricked" in my heart (Jarom 1:12) by the words of King Lamoni's father that he would give away all his sins to know God (Alma 22:18).
I realized that I needed to make some course corrections in my life in order to give away my sins and come to know God better. I have felt his tender mercies this week as I have given up things in order to be closer to God and be more receptive to the Holy Ghost. My burdens have been taken and I know the Atonement is real. I know it.
I hope that all is well with your respective families. I've made a goal to remember the Lord's tender mercies in my life daily, just like President Eyring does. Today is my second day, but I hope that I can share some insights on this spot with close family and friends that will help build our faith in God and bring us closer to Him. I love you all!

Thanks for sharing. It helps strengthen my spirituality when experiences are shared. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one with a trial. It's nice to know everyone else go through adversity and we are here to assist each other through those times. Thanks!
I know your feelings and I love you.
