Uncertainty is a fact of life. It's been interesting to experience the feelings of anxiety and wonder about the future that I've had lately. I'm graduating from BYU in 20 days. I've yet to resolve the following in my life. Where will I go for my AuD program this fall? Where will I work this summer? Where will I move to? How will I pay for school, housing, food etc.?
Uncertainty as a part of our lives impels us to believe more firmly in He who is the rock of certainty and peace: Jesus Christ. In Ether 12:6 we read: "ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith". I've found this to be how life works. We are tested, stressed and must prove our faith until it seems like we can't go any further, and then we are given a witness, and guidance as to where we'll go or what we'll do.
I know that this weekend of general conference will be very special. It can be that way if we make it that way. The effort and desire we put into learning from the prophets of God, is a large determinant of what we'll get out of it.
I'm grateful that there are prophets in the land once again. I know that Heavenly Father hasn't given up on us. I feel His love and concern when I hear these good men speak.
May we all enjoy our test of faith, and stand ready to see the hand of the Lord work miracles in our lives. May we be guided and inspired this weekend is my prayer.
The straight and narrow

It's hard when the path ahead isn't clearly marked...when we have to take in many different road maps and mile markers to help us make our decisions. We pray that you will be led to the place where your needed, where you can grow, and where you can become what you want to be. We love you Dev!
