(Jayce)- Keep working hard with the volleyball challenge. I had something I was struggling with a couple weeks ago. I realized after reading the talk about "Beware of Pride" by President Benson, I realized where the problem was. I was beginning to be prideful. I wrote my struggle down in my journal, and then studied how to fix it. I thought it interesting that it lead to the Atonement. That same day, I felt healed from that conflict and it hasn´t risen since then. I know you are not a prideful person, but the adversary is and sometimes he sneaks his little threads around us. You are right on the money with what you said. Remember that faith without works is dead. When I realized that I was having this struggle, the thought came to my mind "if the message you carry will help any person with any problem...then why not you?" I was than almost excited to use this great message to fix my own problem. I was excited to test it out to see if it was real. … I am so thankful for the gospel. I have now felt more power, actual power, in the Atonement. I am confident, with the Lord, that He can help me overcome any situation.
Well, I love you brother. I´m sure glad you are growing through your trials and having a blast too. Don´t be afraid to take any problem you have to the Lord, He can make them strengths (Ether 12:27). I´ll be praying for you this week. I know Heavenly Father is blessing you and watching over you. Make your prayers a two way conversation. There is much power there. Have an awesome week. Oh, conference is next week...take your questions and concerns to conference and be ready to be filled. Love you JAYCE. Chow, Elder Tilley
