As painful as these times are, Leslie, be comforted in knowing that you are on the right path and that you are still turning to the scriptures to help keep perspective. You've had an opportunity to gain a special knowledge and insight that is hard to come by.

Those are some wonderful promises especially when faced with tribulation. We are thinking of you and praying for you.
By the way, that was you that sung us a message right? I haven't had Spencer listen to it yet but he loves that song. Thanks.

Thinking of you and knowing that the Lord is watching over you, as well as your guardian Angel husband, Aaron.
Take care and continue pressing forward, even if it is the tiniest baby steps each day. Through the Savior, you can find the "brightness of hope".

I haven't checked on you in a while. I love this scripture. I just gave a Visiting Teaching lesson on this very thing. "Be of good cheer," Leslie. This life is just a short time in our eternal progression. I hope you Christmas is magical.
