Here in Franklin, things have been going really well. We have a few people we are teaching who are preparing for baptism! We have been really excited about the things going on. We also know however, that when God's work is moving forward, Satan always decides to come and mess things up. Just yesterday, we saw how Satan is trying to do just that! He tries to get into our heads that there is no hope, we can't come to Jesus, and we can't be happy and do God's work. But that is all false!
When this kind of stuff happens, we can know we are doing something right, because why else would Satan come at such a time? It can happen to all of us. When opposition comes, just know you are making Satan mad and he doesn't like it, so just keeping doing what you know God wants you to do. I know this concept is true, and now when it happens, I just stop and think, then I just try and keep working and pushing forward. That is when true happiness and success comes! Think of all the times in the scriptures where stuff like this happens? Joseph Smith, who had to overcome the being from the unseen world? Abraham who almost had to sacrifice Isaac? Jesus Christ, who suffered for our sins before He was resurrected? They, as well as so many others, were blessed so much after their trials. We will be too if we endure!
