How do things that we hate doing fit into the plan of happiness? I have no idea. But I do know that the Savior meets us where we are and helps us up.

*Note: I said the talk “Come What May and Love It” was from April 2008, but it’s actually from October 2008.

Captain Moroni and Charity

77 Episode – Captain Moroni and Charity
