Christina, We just had a wonderful lesson in Relief Society about building bridges. One of them talked about being involved in Relief Society. Sometimes we may feel that nobody notices us or may be too busy for us. So, instead of sulking, we need to jump and take action ourselves. I noticed you mentioned how you contacted your RS President and HT. Great start! Oh, and I wasn't accusing you of sulking, I'm just giving an example. Sometimes others are so busy, they seem to forget things. This doesn't mean they don't want to teach you, nor does it mean you're not worthy. Keep trying! Find out who your VT's are. Contact them yourself, and ask, "Hey, when can you come visit me? I would really love your visit soon." They'd be more likely to get on the ball when they hear it from you directly. I'm sorry you have illnesses that often prevent you from going to church. Since you're away from them, make sure you know it's not completely their responsibility to notice you're absent. Keep letting people know. Keep contact with people. Sometimes others need to be constantly reminded. If you're real concerned, get together with your bishop and let him know. Maybe he would be able to arrange something for you? Don't accuse yourself of being unworthy! If you're doing your absolute best to keep a good relationship with your Heavenly Father, you're on the right track. Don't ever think your problems aren't good enough to take to the bishop. There's a reason why he was called to serve as a bishop; to look after the people in the ward. Don't hesitate to talk to him thinking you're wasting his time. I promise, you will not be wasting his time! If anything, he will help you tremendously. Good luck, and keep up the great work on being proactive! And remember, Heavenly Father is always here. If you feel you may be unworthy for anything, pray to Him. He, along with the bishop, will help you overcome this feeling. I promise it will make a difference in your life. Remember to always keep trying.
