November 20

I have been rereading notes I have made for lessons I have been given.  One of them seems so pertinent. 

"Faith is our reward for belief and hope.  You can believe and not have faith."
     James E. Talmage

As our mission is coming to a close, I have been looking back to see if we have done the very best job we could do.  Because I tend to be critical of myself, I have found myself feeling guilty.  Then I read this quote from Elder Talmage which helped. 

I believe we have done the best we could with the knowledge we had at the time.  I hope we have done our best in each situation that we have encountered.  And in the end I have faith that the Lord would have inspired us to do differently if that had been His will.  And since faith is a gift from God given through the Spirit, I have been asking for increased faith that our work here is completed.
