32. Christ Bore Our Griefs and Calls Us to Share His Hope with Macy Arner

Send me a message! Mosiah 14:4–5 teaches that Christ bore our griefs and carried our sorrows, and Alma 17:11 reminds us that the Lord can make us instruments in His hands to share His hope. Macy Arner shares how both of these truths shaped her as a missionary in Japan. As a resilient military kid who moved 14 times, Macy found strength in the gospel—especially during her high school years through seminary and the Book of Mormon. Her story is a reminder that as we seek the Lord, especially in times of change, He heals us, guides us, and helps us become who He needs us to be.My end thoughts give a shout out to all the amazing military kids this April! The combination of military life and being rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ has helped Macy and my own kids grow in faith, strength, and confidence no matter where life takes them.
