The Olympics are here!



The opening ceremonies were amazing! Don't you love the feeling of the Olympics?

Peter Vidmar is a former Olympian who happens to be LDS. He also happens to have an article published in a 1985 Ensign. I loved what he had to say about President Kimball's motto Do it.

"Let’s not just talk about what we want to be. Let’s not just dream about what we want to be. Let’s just do it, whatever it takes. To reach your goals, you may have to work harder than you have ever worked before in your entire life."

Good old hard work. Let's all work a little harder and help each other when we get tired and we'll all be a little closer to reaching our goals and making our dreams come true.

I think that helping each other when we get tired is a big part of the Relief Society. "Charity never faileth" is our motto, but since we aren't perfect yet we definitely need help now and again.

May we all be a little more humble, as accepting help requires humility and offering true help requires humility.
