Paper Post from Aleah November 23, 2015

So two weeks ago I had a neat experience.  It was almost the end of the term and I was so busy getting all my assignments in and I had an essay to write.  I didn’t finish it and I felt like I was going to get a terrible grade.  I said several prayers and felt like he has not answered any.  I felt frustrated and was not happy.  (especially because I wanted to get on student council and you need good grades to get on. Elise also wanted me to.)  I was crying while I brushed my teeth and felt like Jesus Christ was not real and that He does not answer prayers.  I really thought that I could do it, but I felt like all the hope was gone.  I didn’t feel like I should say a prayer because He wouldn’t answer them.  I thought again and just said to myself, “Just try one more time.”  I said another prayer.  I asked if I could understand why none of my prayers were answered and why.  By the end of the prayer I remembered my blessing before school and it said that when I have struggles that I will read the scriptures.  I opened up to where I was and when I read the scripture said that He will always be there and that He answers prayers!  I started to cry.  I knew this church was true and that he lives!  I know this church is true and that Jesus Christ lives.  That is my neat experience.  --Aleah
