Life is hard and there are painful times, but I don’t think Heavenly Father meant for life to be an unrelenting painful experience.

It’s the same one I had known on the other side of the world, but it felt much more intense. The humidity hit me almost as hard as the realization that I was in Africa for 24 months.
