Timely help

I have been reading the New Era for a few years, and it has really helped me in my life. Thanks for all that you have done. I would like to especially thank you for printing the Questions and Answers in the October 1997 issue. It really helped me out and couldn’t have come at a better time.

Looking forward

Thank you for the wonderful articles. I couldn’t really find anything I wanted to read until I saw a New Era on the table. I was only 11 at the time and the only Church magazine I knew about was the Friend. I have enjoyed reading all of the magazines I get and I’m looking forward to more New Eras.

You can and you will

I just wanted to write and tell you how greatly I enjoyed the How I Know called “Feed the Flame” (July 1997). Right before I received this issue, I had been pondering why I haven’t received such an answer. This article brought such peace to my heart that we all have different ways of gaining our testimonies. I also know if you have the desire to gain a testimony, you will. I really enjoy the New Era and everything about the Church.

As the Lord sees

Thank you for printing the Scripture Lifeline “Triumph” (Aug. 1997). I’ve never had high self-esteem and am always comparing myself to others. Every time I do this, I feel worse about myself and think no one likes me, and I start not liking myself. But after reading this message, I think I am starting to see myself as the Lord would look at me.

Winning the struggle

Thank you for “Triumph” in the August 1997 issue. I can relate to how she feels. I am clinically depressed and have struggled with self-confidence every day of my life. It’s comforting to know that others understand my pain. I can sincerely say that the scriptures and the gospel, along with my family’s love, have kept me alive the past six years.

Was missing out

For a long time I’ve felt rejected by most circles of friends just because they don’t usually think to invite me into most of their activities. Then I went to my first youth conference and discovered there are some really nice and welcoming people out there. I also read an article called “Saturday-Morning Cartoons” (Aug. 1997) and decided that I was really missing out on a lot of fun. My hardships, I realized, were my own fault.

Impressed

I was most impressed by the article about President Gordon B. Hinckley and his grandchildren. It was so awesome to hear about him as a grandpa. Thank you so much.

So good

I really enjoy the New Era. My favorite issue is December 1995. I always feel so good when I read it.
