God gives laws that will help us move from one state of glory up to the next

Hi Steph!
Yeah, it seems that God makes promises like in the word of wisdom, tithing, and His command to multiply and replenish the earth. Then "scientists" start to create doubt with their tiny perspective on the universe. They see a few facts in a insignificantly small part of eternity and start to think that society, the ecosystem, and the entire galaxy is falling apart. The Lord sees all, and He knows what will happen throughout eternity. When He gives a commandment and a promise we can trust that it is what is best and if we obey we can have greater blessings and light in our lives.
I recently read Joseph Smiths "King Follett Sermon". Joseph explained that God gives laws that will help us move from one state of glory up to the next and the next until we are perfect. It was kind of an interesting testimony on how God works. You might check it out. There are headings that will allow you to just read parts you want to read about. I know you are very busy.
Sorry I keep giving you stuff to read HA HA. The Holland talk video is the thing that I really think should be watched to prepare for a mission if you were to choose just one. Oh, and another cool point, in Alma ch 26 it’s basically Alma and Amuleks homecoming talk. They even expressed that they got depresses and the Lord comforted them. So don’t worry about how you feel or if you feel insecure. Even those amazing missionaries were human and needed comfort! Just focus on what you are supposed to do, and you will be strengthened. You can do it. Just like Nephi and the brass plates. I love you.
I firmly believe the things I said. I say them to each of you in Christ's name amen.
