I use to think to myself quite often "Why me?", "Why now?", "Why this?". I never understood why we were given hard things to deal with. The more trials I get, the more I realize how important they are for our progression here on earth. I feel that they are a way for us to reach out to our Heavenly Father. It gives us the opportunity to summit ourselves into the hands of God, and allow his will to be ours.

I don't get angry that often, I always questioned what the motives were for other people. Learning that people who are angry usually have an underlying emotion made a lot of sense to me. People just don't know how to show, or recognize their feelings so it just comes out as anger. We should be able to talk through things and help our friends figure out exactly what emotions they are feeling.

I was amazed in class when Brother Williams talked about your spirit being hurt after abuse. I had a companion on my mission who had had some major trials in her life, as we were talking she mentioned the same exact thing. She mentioned that your spirit can be hurt. It can be healed through the atonement of Jesus Christ. She also mentioned that your soul knows how to fix it. That it takes time, and sometimes help from other sources. It was fascinating.
