FHE

Today, I went to FHE for the Savior. I know, I should be going all the time anyways, but 1) school takes a lot of time, and 2) I shouldn't actually be making excuses, so this second reason is unnecessary. And FHE was good. If I hadn't have gone, my evening probably would have been a lot worse. Just like everything I do for Christ (at least for His birthday present), I prayed beforehand that it could go according to His will. I pray beforehand because of this scripture, 2 Nephi 32:9;

But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul.

I want the Lord to consecrate my performance. I want my gifts to Him to mean something more to both of us. However else I fall short, I at least know that I'm deliberately trying to come closer to Christ. He is worth it! Every effort and trial is worth it if I can strengthen my relationship with Him.
