Elder Thompson Facebook Post 10/9/2021

 We all are here on the Earth to experience trials and hardships. As we go through difficult experiences, we can always remember to turn toward Christ for guidance and help.

This video was sent to me by my father when I was going through a rough time in my life and didn't know where exactly to go for guidance. He helped me understand through this story and his own testimony that we are all put on this Earth to face challenges, but we are also here to overcome them and become stronger and greater. Our Heavenly Father has a plan for each and everyone of us, and Christ is always there to guide us and walk beside us through the turmoil so that we may become perfected through Him.
What ways have you been able to turn toward Christ in the midst of trials? How have you seen Christ's help on your own life's journey?

When an experienced runner decides to train for a 100-mile ultramarathon in a hostile desert, he must face the daunting task of doing something that seems impossible.
Like the runner, we on earth must face our own great adventures, traversing a seemingly endless array of life’s peaks and valleys, in our journey back to God. But as we do so, pushing through the darkest trials and obstacles, we gain perspective about why we are here and how to ultimately succeed.
In his 2019 general conference address “Your Great Adventure,” (https://bit.ly/3avDWrc) Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf explains that as “you stay on the path and trust in God, you will eventually find the way to your glorious destiny and back to your heavenly home.”
