If you're thinking about it...DO IT
Hello my friends and family! I hope you all enjoyed your conference weekend! Send me what your fav talk was or the best thing you ate. The best thing I ate was banana pudding cinnamon rolls and my favorite talk was by Sister Runia. 
Minus general conference and the past few days, I am not going to lie, this week was very HARD.
Lots of good of course, and the hand of the Lord is still so evident, but there were some very difficult and defeating moments for both me and my companion.
Some advice that my mission presidents gave me that I love, is to be excited when these difficult moments come because that means the Lord is refining you!!!
God let's you experience difficult things so he can mold you into the person you can become!
So with that...if a mission has been on your mind, I am telling you, DO IT. You will experience some of the hardest things, but even more than that, you will experience some of the most beautiful things that you wouldn't trade for the world.
Missions are priceless.
And you know what else is priceless?
Your worth.
I'm keeping this email short and sweet and leaving you with one of my favorite conference talks. Also by Sister Runia lol.
"You are not the voice in your head or the mistakes you have made. You may need to say that out loud too. Tell Satan, “Not today.” Put him behind you.
Feel that pull, the godly sorrow that turns you toward your Savior, and watch His grace enter into your life and the lives of those you love. I promise that the minute we bring a broken heart courageously toward Him, He is immediately there.
If you saw someone drowning, wouldn’t you reach your hand out and rescue them? Can you imagine your Savior rejecting your outstretched hand? I imagine Him diving into the water, descending below all things to lift us up so we can take a fresh breath! No one can sink lower than the light of Christ shines.
The Savior is forever brighter than the darkness of shame. He would never attack your worth."
- Your Repentance Doesn’t Burden Jesus Christ; It Brightens His Joy.
Please never forget your worth.
As you turn to Jesus Christ and you put your faith in him, he can literally heal you and give you greater confidence and an understanding of your worth. He is so powerful!!! As you submit yourself to Him and His will, it is truly miraculous what he can do with you.
He HEALS.
He DELIVERS.
As we have FAITH IN HIM.
SUBMIT YOURSELF TO HIM.
LET HIS LIGHT INTO YOUR SOUL.
The enabling power of Jesus Christ is REAL.
Of that I can bear witness. ♡
All my love,
Sister Ekins
