  1. Congrats on the successful Branch Dinner. I've read a few of your older posts and in this one you sound a lot happier. One thing about living the gospel is that it can be a continual process of ups and downs, especially in the early years after conversion. We draw closer to Heavenly Father and then fall back and then closer again. How close we get to him always depends on us. Keeping the spirit takes work! Heavenly Father's way isn't an easy way, but it's worth it. We have to identify what parts of our lives are inconsistent with the Gospel, then change those things one at time. Many of us have many many inconsistent aspects of our lives. We should change the big ones first then work on the little stuff over time. Over time, those little changes we make help align our will to God's will, we become more like him, and qualify for his eternal blessings. Even when hard, life is much much happier and goes a lot smoother with the spirit.
