I taught a lesson yesterday in Relief Society (our women's organization). It was about Joseph and Hyrum Smith. I have always been one of those people that thought that we focus a little bit too much on Joseph Smith but my opinion changed as I prepared this lesson. I absolutely loved that they talked about Hyrum in this lesson because he was a really great man and we can learn so much from him. The scriptures about him in the Doctrine and Covenants are so inspiring. My absolute favourite thing was a video I found in Mormon Messages so I decided to share it with you.

Stepping Blindly with Faith
So, I was watching a Mormon Messages video by nienie and she has inspired me to try to write my blog with more spiritual things by praying and writing what the Lord tells me to. Stephanie Nielson is her name and her story is amazing.
Even as I try to write, Dayvon is sitting on my lap trying to stick his fingers in my mouth. Every time he succeeds, he giggles and hugs me. I love times like these.... So, I have been called to teach the Sunbeams at Church (one of my least favorite callings). I got set apart last night and I always seem to cry when being set apart. I love hearing what my Father in Heaven would like to say to me. I have no clue what to do in this calling. It is completely out of my comfort zone. My first Sunday I sat in and watched the other Sunbeam teacher (she is amazing. So good with the kids and creative and patient). I hope I can be as good a teacher as she is.
I have always said that I would never turn down a calling. So, I accepted this and cried almost as soon as I left. Within a day or two, I was okay. I didn't dread it anymore and I look at it as a challenge and something for me to learn from. I am Stepping Blindly with Faith, not knowing how things will be or if I can even do it, but I know that the Lord will help me and that I can do anything with His help.
