Mud Holes and life

The other day while i was biking down the road i saw a truck that was covered in mud which reminded me of when my family would go mudding on our four wheelers in the ditches back home in the spring time when the water was turned out of the ditches so that they could dry out to get a skid loader in and clean out the growth from the last year of watering.
My brother and i would take this great chance to go on our four wheelers and play in the mud. as those who have done any mudding at all there are times when you do not make it to the end of the mud run that you started in that was most often the case with me and my brother because we were doing  it with Two wheel drive four wheelers but we had just as much fun though.
 When we would get stuck and the four wheeler would not move no more because we buried it up to the axle and it got high centered. one of us would grab a rope ( which some times we for got because we were just to excited to go do this) walk to were he could throw the end of the rope to the me while i sat on the bike and then i would reach over and tie it to the front end of my four wheeler while he tied it to the back of his four wheeler. he would then pull me out and then it was his turn.
we would do this for w while then go home and wash the four wheelers off and go do other things on the farm.
As i though about it i though of how many times we in our own lives go though life thinking that we are having fun going through the mud and then before we know it or with out realizing it we are stuck in a hard spot and we can't move forward or backwards and we feel bad because of were we are now. I have had that happen to me in my life and sure that you have to. so how do we get out of this. just as my brother was there to help me when i needed to get out because i was stuck. The Savior is there to help us he has said it himself and through his Prophet in the past.

3 Nephi 9:14 Yea, verily I say unto you, if ye will ^acome unto me ye shall have ^beternal life. Behold, mine ^carm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive; and blessed are those who come unto me.  
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Moroni 6:8 But as oft as they repented and sought forgiveness, with real intent, they were forgiven.
we can be forgiven through repentance of our mistakes and can be washed clean through the atonement of Jesus Christ. this comes through praying to heavenly father asking to for him to forgive you of the things that you have done wrong and not doing those things again that is part of repentance it changing and not doing what you did wrong again.



This I Testify because I have felt the cleansing power of the atonement it has changed my life and it is there for you to partake in also.
