Who Is Your Hero?

Well hey ya'll!!

Man, this past week was just wonderful! We had Easter and General Conference and got to listen to our beloved Prophet and Apostles. 

I had a lot of questions and concerns answered and quieted by the different talks given on Saturday and Sunday which was a true answer to my prayers. I especially loved Henry B. Eyring, Jeffrey R. Holland and Rosemary M. Wixom. I loved them all, and am very excited to re-read them again in the Ensign. 

This past week was very busy which was very good! We spent the weekend in Tupelo for Conference and Easter, but on Friday morning we had District Meeting. We all brought our favorite pictures of the Savior, talked about why we liked that picture, why we love the Savior and our favorite scripture from the Savior. One of my favorite scriptures given to us by the Savior is John 16: 33 

"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." That verse has always brought so much comfort to me. In one of our previous District Meetings we were all asked who our favorite super hero was. It was simply a get to know you question, so everyone answered either Spider-man, Batman etc. I couldn't help but say Emma Smith as one of my personal heroes. But at the end of the meeting we talked about who our true hero should be, the Savior. I had never thought of it that way. He truly is a super hero. We will never be able to comprehend what He did for us, but I do know that He loves us. He truly loves us so unconditionally that He gave His life for us. This world will always bring us trials, heartache, physical, mental, and emotional pains of every kind and He knows what all of that feels like for all of us. I know that ya'll have heard this time and time again, because I have too. But this past Easter Sunday with the messages shared at General Conference I was able to better feel His love for me and for all of us. He is my hero and always will be. I can never repay Him for what He did, but I can do what He asks me to do, and I will do whatever He asks me to do because I love Him. And I know that He loves me and every single one of you. If the world tells you that you are alone or even makes you feel alone, we don't need to worry He has overcome the world. 

I love you all so very much. Have a blessed week

Much love, Sister Michaela Mason
